TURN IT UP
Up, up and away! Goldfrapp flies high in the new clip for “Rocket,” the electropop group’s soaring new single. Ok, that’s quite enough of the (not so) clever wordplay with the track’s title, just watch the damn video already. It’s out of this world! (sorry.)
Forthcoming disc Head First launches (!) Stateside March 23.
The brand new video by Parisian electronic duo Make The Girl Dance begins with provocative questions: What would you do if you had 8 days left to live? Would you spend all your money to enjoy life one last time?
The next 4 and a half minutes of “Kill Me” portrays the guys’ decadent answer to that question, as they spend $30k in a manic marathon of death-defying adventure and drug-fueled debauchery. Seriously, this clip is INSANE. Most definitely NSFW — and quite possibly the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. Highly recommended.
I wrote about Sia’s “You’ve Changed” about a month ago, and now a playfully charming video has emerged. The hysterical clip plays off Guitar Hero-type games with a healthy dose of the singer’s twisted-kitschy style and sense of humor. What a wonderful holiday gift from the endearingly offbeat Australian!
It’s been months since The Sounds first teased us with the trailer for the big-budget video for “Beatbox,” a standout track from the Swedish indie band’s latest disc, Crossing the Rubicon. Well, the new clip has finally been unveiled!
The horror-inspired mini-film finds vocalist Maja Ivarsson running from a handsome tribe of persistent predators and performing under a moonlit sea with her sexy bandmates. (Of special note: Felix is shirtless.) It was definitely worth the wait, and hopefully it will help the single become the big hit that it should be. Pass it along!

With his latest promotional video, up-and-coming electro-pop artist Dan Black once again showcases inventive visuals that are just as compelling as his aural creations (previous single “Alone” was featured on ¡viva la graham! in March).
The clip for “Symphonies” includes homages to dozens of classic film credit sequences and memorable scenes from cult faves, including Lost Highway, Donnie Darko and Bond movies, to name a few. As far as the mid-tempo track goes, the swelling strings beautifully complement the song’s big-screen-romance inspired lyrics. I’m not sure why Black hasn’t gotten more attention, because he’s definitely got something unique going on…

The new Dragonette single, “Pick Up the Phone,” might just be the band’s best to date. If you’ve been paying attention to previous superb singles like “I Get Around” and “Take It Like a Man,” that’s a major compliment. I’ve been jamming this band down readers’ throats for a few years now, so hopefully some of you have taken note. If not, watch the mesmerizing clip above. You may finally convert…
Why hasn’t Dragonette completely exploded?? It’s a mystery to me. And I love that they’ve already released 3 videos (check out “Fixin’ to Thrill” and “Gone Too Far”) before the new album is even released (Sept 29 in Canada, by the way).
A big thanks to arjanwrites.com for the heads up on the new video!
