MSTRKRFT + Heartbeaker

This video proves the age old fact that male models can be such dicks. Especially when they invade your Mexican crafts and wares store. Good thing the song is awesome. Featuring John Legend this is a nice little pop turn from MSTRKRFT who have always seemed a little cold with their music. “Fist Of God” is out now.

MSTRKRFT – Heartbreaker

New Phoenix Video + 1901

It’s just a Phoenix-centric day here at the headquarters. Dazed Digital and the aforementioned Phoenix, worked together to create a video for new single, ‘1901′. Debuting at Dazed Digital and directed by up-and-comers Bogstandard, the video uses the simplicity of light and shadows to capture the energy of a Phoenix live show.

Check it out, along with a photo gallery here.

Phoenix Go Acoustic

Performing stripped down versions of the new single “Lisztomania” and Air’s “Playground Love” (for which lead singer Thomas Mars originally contributed vocals) the guys take a second and chill out a bit. Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is available now on iTunes and in physical form on May 26.

Vega + No Reasons

Ever since GVB posted Vega’s “No Reasons”, it’s been going round and round in our head like so many spins of the proverbial record player… or skateboard wheel. Now that the classy folks at Butter Team have made ‘No Reasons’ the unofficial theme song to Thrashin’ — the young Josh Brolin vehicle involving dropping into pools and skate gangs (natch) — we’d be idiots not to turn you on to this song and it’s inexhaustible charms.

Vega’s Well Known Pleasures drops on May 19, MP3 below. Tour dates after the jump.

Brendan Canning + “Love Is New” Video

The funkiest song off Brendan Canning’s solo record now has a video.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs + Zero Video & MP3

commotionmag — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 04:23:09 +0000

Like Franz Ferdinand’s latest ‘Tonight,’ the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s find themselves exploring a more synth-focused sound on their new album ‘It’s Blitz.’ While this approach might be a little hit or miss, you can definitely Add ‘Zero’ to the early ballot for top song of 2009.

SWAMPDONKEY

SWAMPDONKEY is an illustrator/photographer. That’s about all we know about the guy. However, his work is pretty damn impressive, seeming to combine elements of street/graffiti work in his illustrations (especially through his signature horns and tusks) with a more austere sensibility in his photographs. And if his work in photos and drawing weren’t enough, the guy can also cut a mean music video too. Be sure to watch the haunting video below (set to “The Triumph of Our Tired Eyes” by Silver Mount Zion) to get the full effect of this talented artist’s work.
