TEGAN & SARA "Alligator"

This video is cute and totally a party. Animal costumes and confetti adorn this birthday party-eque vibe, and with the song being remixed by Passion Pit throws it over the top!

k-os "4321"

The first single from k-os' new album, soon to be released, simply titled "YES!" is the song "4321". It's a catchy track, with an even catchier video, complete with dance moves inspired by Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, sweet stop motion footage, and guest appearances by Buck 65 and Matt Bebel of Much Music.

LIVING THINGS "Let It Rain"

Here's the new Living Things video for "Let It Rain", by Floria Sigismondi. It's a simple, slick looking black & white performance video. Before I watched it for myself, I asked my boss how it was, and she said "It's Floria. Nothing she does can ever look bad!".
Is she ever right!!

Director: Floria Sigismondi

"Cult Of Cherry"

Oh, Floria. You are a weirdo, and one of my biggest inspirations in life. Thank you for continuing to share your visions and geniuses with the world.

This is an ad/short that Floria did for the launch of MAC Cosmetic's line of makeup called "Cult Of Cherry". My eyeballs can barely handle the greatness of how this looks visually. Also, it makes me really want to eat a slice of pie.

Director: Floria Sigismondi

METALLICA "All Nightmare Long"

The piece is a 9-minute long narrative that uses four decades worth of 'lost' Soviet footage to uncover a conspiracy of epic proportions. A mysterious organism found in the 1930s at Tunguska appears to have healing powers that will bring an end to death. But by the opening of The Cold War, the organism's corpse-reviving properties are reinvented as a means of closing the gap between the USSR and a newly nuclear-endowed USA: Airborne spore attacks, zombie uprisings, and corpse disposing robots are all bit players in this complicated and epic plot.

Director: Roboshobo

DIVINE BROWN "Meet Me At The Roxy" (director's cut)

Divine Brown and her backup singers are the true heartbeat to this video - belting out an insanely catchy throwback-like song, while everyone dances the whole night through. Check out some of the sweet dance moves too. Pretty rad!

JACK'S MANNEQUIN "The Resolution"

I just realized today that the singer of Jack's Mannequin is the old singer for Something Corporate. Interesting...

The concept for their new video was thought up by Stephanie Meyer (author of the Twilight book series) and executed with the talents of Noble Jones. The video sees frontman Andrew McMahon falling deeper in love with an unobtainable mermaid.

Director: Noble Jones

JACK WHITE & ALICIA KEYS "Another Way To Die"

Here's the video for the theme song to the new James Bond: Quantum of Solace. Directed by P.R. Brown, and post work done by the talented MK12 in Paris. Contrary to popular beliefs on various video blogs, Jack White and Alicia Keys were in fact shot together, at the same time, in the same studio! :O!

LEMAR "If She Knew"

Slick video to go along with a slick track!
I really can't get this song out of my head. Wow!

Lemar "If She Knew"
Director: Micah Meisner

FEIST "Honey Honey"

The long-awaited new video of Feist's single Honey Honey, shot in Calgary last March with the Old Trout Puppet Workshop, was finally premiered on Much More Music, on Monday. The video parallels the wistful melancholy of Feist's song with the visual telling of a fairytale-like story about an old fisherman and his wife, who paces her lighthouse home when he is late for his supper. He is caught in the doldrums, and becomes the hapless target of a monstrous fish.

Director: Anthony Seck

BRAZILIAN GIRLS "Good Time"

Shot in Brooklyn, NY, Graydon Sheppard directed this fun, colourful, loving video for Brazilian Girls. The track is called 'Good Time' and that's what it is - bike riding in the sun, balloons, jump rope...then the good times continue, when Brazilian Girls get a warm welcome to a rooftop party with all of their friends! Funzo!
