If life has become dull, I have some meds for you


All this psychedelic rap is making me think this is a distinct time for hip hop, it seems to be sounding more and more like Hardstyle Trap
 Schoolboy Q’s “Collard Greens” The video is proof that this is a party cut, people spraying silly-string with multi-colored, kaleidoscopic shots and yeah thats Macklemore hanging out in the video.



Major Lazer and Knife Fight go to stop a new missile by terrorist General Rubbish, who looks like a cross between M. Bison and Bane.
The Blu product placement is genius, Nick Kroll is great being serious giving orders to the heroes,  Blake from Workaholics is also in this Robocop inspired wacky vid
 Major Lazer Scare Me




Nabil might be the highest quality music-video director right now, Alex Turner, has a amazing performance playing drunk.. or he is just really schwasted and not so much acting.
Arctic Monkeys “Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?”



Baauer famous of course because of Harlem Shake keeps stepping up to the plate.
Nabil is sooo legit, I can't wait till he is making Hollywood feature films mark my words.
Kids getting beat at 5:06
Just Blaze and Baauer “Higher”



This video and song somehow makes me think of good ice cream.
Ra Ra Riot clearly keep thinking about  how the world will evolve, trippy Star Trekishness
Binary Mind



King Tuff’s “Sun Medallion,”  reissued with a new video. Set in a graveyard with plenty of psychedelic animation. Proof that late sixties-esque pyschedelic guitar songs are still fuking cool



Kim Deal’s quit the Pixies again, and she’s reunited with the Breeders on tour. She's also busy doing her new solo stuff. Porcelain figurines with feelings.
Are You Mine?



Sub pop LA cuties dream-punkers No Age return with their new album An Object. Band members Dean Spunt and Randy Randall  directed the video, Its something your art-student friends would make and then force you to watch. but it still stands as an excuse to listen to a deeply pretty song again




I Covered Summer Camps lyric video for their song Fresh in my last post
Here they are again with the official Video, such a catchy song




Immediatly capyivating and interesting is Butter The Children’s new single  Spit It Out,  We’ll be seeing a lot more of them in the future.




WTF is going on in this video? Just a bunch of super cool aliens and Lennon esque vocals...reminds me of the horned corpse of spanish sea monster that washed ashore last week.




SD and Danny Brown In Detroit drinking Codeine syrup



Pity Sex from niegboring Ann Arbor, white boying it up in their video for Wind Up



 Shot in Alexandra, Johannesburg, B Jaxx hone in on some "pantsula,” a style of dance originating from the area
Basement Jaxx’s “What A Difference Your Love Makes”





Dream shit, Fools Gold 's  World’s Fair
Shomi Patwary directed clips for A-Trak and Prodigy.Shomi Patwary is huge in the New York underground rap scene.
96 Knicks



Riff Raff has some serious basketball skills. "Im Gary Payton", white Lebron James, haha



Like really cool gafitti this vid Lord Quas (the alter-ego of Madlib) “Catchin’ The Vibe” that features a vinyl crafting garbage man (loosly based off of me I think) Like Quasimoto the man seems beyond that of a normal human.

For u fellow mensa heads
Floaters.. You know what I’m talking about really, really tiny kind of floats on your eye and you get that weird ghosting image. It’s common, pretty much harmless, and actually kind of cool when it happens. Shoegazers Medicine must have thought it was cool too, since the phenomenon is referenced in their new vid It’s Not Enough.




Super cute huge nerd singer/songwriter Laura Veirs out of Portland new song and vid Sun Song. She once worked as a translator for a geological expedition in China.. so cool! Superimposed  images of Veirs over stock footage of clouds and seagulls.
