Holy Ghost! - "Hold My Breath"
New York disco crew Holy Ghost! have a new video for “Holy My Breath,” a track from their self-titled album. Ben Fries, the man behind their great “Wait & See” video, also directed this one, and it mostly consists of a photo montage of the band members’ lives. Those lives look fun! Various DFA-type celebrities like James Murphy and Luke Jenner make super-brief appearances.

Schrödinger's Cat
No cats were harmed in the making of this video.
New Scientist produced a new One-Minute Physics animation to explain the Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment in a hurry. As if you could explain “collapsed realities” in one minute. Still, it’s a cute cartoon. Link

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds – “If I Had A Gun…”
Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds‘ music video for “If I Had A Gun…”, our latest taste from their upcoming S/T debut, is quite reminiscent of the 1967 film The Graduate (Liam Gallagher will probably claim his older bro just ripped ‘em off). However, instead of Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft running way on a bus, a rugged cowboy rides in to interrupt the ceremony, leading to the handsome stranger and the bride sealing their love with a kiss in the deep end. Despite the cliché, what makes the video truly worth watching is one simple casting choice: Noel Gallagher plays the priest officiating the wedding. Now that’s some damn good fiction!

of Montreal – L’age D’or (NSFW)
The Golden Age is not what it used to be as Athens rock collective of Montreal turn in a weirdo/psychedelic visual for their latest single "L'age D'or" off their current thecontrollersphere EP. Director Nina Barnes decides to take this beyond the NSFW line during the second half of the video. Probably an adequate approach regarding the song's extravagant lyrics. Watch it above unless you are at work.

Pepsi – Music Icons (Featuring Britney Spears, Michael Jackson, Kanye West, Mariah Carey + Ray Charles)
Pepsi presents their latest television commercial titled "Music Icons," celebrating Pepsi's music history, which includes the likes of Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Kanye West, Ray Charles and Mariah Carey. In accordance with its slogan, "Where there's Pepsi, there's music", the spot reflects on memorable moments such as Michael Jackson introducing the new "Pepsi Generation" and Ray Charles playing the piano to the (Prince-penned) tune of "You Got the Right One, Baby, Uh Huh" and more. "Music Icons" debuted during last night's "X Factor" premiere. Frank Cooper, Chief Marketing Officer, Global Consumer Engagement of PepsiCo Beverages, explains:
"Pepsi has always been at the center of music and pop culture and is known for featuring top talent in its campaigns. We're confident that the next pop music star will emerge from our partnership with 'The X Factor.'"
As the musical background serves a Pepsi-exclusive remix of the song, "Tonight is the Night" by Yonkers' very own Outasight, who recently signed to Warner Bros. Records.
Wale – Bait (NSFW)
Wale unleashes a brand new visual to accompany one of his latest tunes "Bait." You'll find the DC spitter alongside Ross making it rain quite heavily in the club. The song will also appear on Wale's upcoming project due out November 1, 2011, Ambition. Warning NSFW!

Watch a New Trailer for Trent Reznor-Scored Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
As previously reported, Nine Inch Nails leader Trent Reznor and collaborator Atticus Ross, who won an Oscar for their score for David Fincher's The Social Network, came together again to create the soundtrack for Fincher's forthcoming film adaptation of the Stieg Larsson bestseller The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.
Back in May, we saw the first trailer for the highly anticipated film, which featured a cover of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" by Reznor and Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O. In August, more music from the film surfaced. Now, the film's Mouth Taped Shut blog points us to the film's second trailer, which features more of the Reznor and Ross-created score.

Long Trailer for Fincher's "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo"
Because of the novels’ popularity, and the fact that there’s already been a Swedish adaptation of them, the film is one likely to be somewhat divisive among audiences, but I personally can’t wait to see it.
We got a first look at a trailer for the film back in June this year, and it was pretty fantastic. And now, courtesy of MSN we’ve got a brilliant extended trailer to share with you. Clocking in at 3:45 in length, it gives us a much longer and more detailed look at the film and what we can expect from it. And it’s definitely promising stuff.
I must confess that I’m still yet to read the novels or see the original film trilogy, but I’m a big fan of all of Fincher’s work, and I cannot wait to see what he brings us following the success of The Social Network. Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara, and Stellan Skarsgård all look fantastic in this, and Oscar-winning Steven Zaillian looks to have penned a brilliant script. The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is released here on 26th December this year, a date that can’t come soon enough.

Brite Futures - Too Young To Kill
There are certain moments where the video begins to feel repetitive, but that’s the trick that director Noel Paul used. Just as you begin feel a loop similar to three frames, he adds a twist at the end of each shot. The match cuts are a simple, nice touch that makes this music video interesting from beginning to end.

Washed Out – “Amor Fati”
Washed Out’s new video for the Within And Without track “Amor Fati” is a series of beautifully photographed images of what appears to be some guy’s solo European road trip, which, of course, is the best kind of European road trip. He also spends a whole lot of the video shirtless, if you’re into looking at this particular dude without a shirt on. Watch the video at Entertainment Weekly.

EMA - Marked
EMA's Erika M. Anderson co-directed, shot, and produced the striking black and white video for "Marked", along with Leif Shackelford. The clip for the Past Life Martyred Saints standout co-stars Alexis Blair Penney.
Girls – “Honey Bunny”
The crowd at the 9:30 Club in D.C. last night pretty much went nuts for the opening surf-guitar sputter of Girls’ souped-up single “Honey Bunny,” a pretty clear sign that they’ve got another “Lust For Life” on their hands here. So it’s great to see that the band has a dizzy, fun, romantic new video for “Honey Bunny,” directed by Girls’ own J.R. White alongside Ivan Shumaker.
Wise Blood – “Nosferatu”
Theo Anthony directs this clip for Wise Blood’s dark pop track “Nosferatu,” and the result is a druggy, hypnotic video that features the protagonist lurking in a dreamlike state. Also, there’s a creepy-as-fuck old man mask wading through the mist. And once you pile in the referential aspects of Chris Laufman’s project — the nod to Flannery O’Conner’s gothic debut novel Wise Blood as well as the obvious evoking of all that vampire stuff — it makes the clip seem even eerier.

Hugh Laurie- The whale has swallowed me
You probably know him as TV's Dr. House, but Hugh Laurie has other extraordinary talents besides diagnosing mysterious illnesses and playing a legendary ass.
'Let Them Talk,' the British actor and musician's debut album, is a romp through New Orleans jazz-infused folk and Mississippi Delta blues -- a genre Laurie has treasured since a young age.
"My reverence for this music is bordering on the religious. It means a great deal to me. Just to give you an example of it, on the first day we were going to record, it suddenly hit me I needed to work out what I was going to wear," Laurie recently told Spinner. "I thought, I can't do this music in jeans and sneakers. It doesn't feel right. So I went in wearing a suit and tie."
This suited sincerity has since spilled over into Laurie's new video for 'The Whale Has Swallowed Me,' a languid jam through Delta frustrations and biblical thoughts.
The Joe Henry-produced 'Let Them Talk' is available now via Rhino Records.

Frank Ocean – “Swim Good”
Frank Ocean rocks a panda mask (same one as that Fader cover, I think) and ninja garb in this new clip for Nostalgia, Ultra banger “Swim Good,” and the video is certainly a little more straightforward than yesterday’s freaky shaman-filled affair. It involves Frank, yet again, pushing a whip — this time an orange stretch limo — down an open stretch of road. Nabil Elderkin, which is a dope Middle Earth name, directs.
The Killing Joke
A Short Film by Sebastian Lopez
The Killing Joke is a 15 minute suspense/fiction short film about a mysterious woman that finds a red balloon tied up to a curious little box on an eery derelict street. Using classic elements of suspense and working within a seventies aesthetic, 'The Killing Joke' is an action packed film that pays homage to some of the horror movies from that era.

Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter Directs Short Film
Thomas Bangalter, one half of Daft Punk, has directed and done cinematography for a three-minute short film that serves as a sort of advertisement for the new collection from the fashion line Co. The film stars Élodie Bouchez, Bangalter’s actress wife. She plays a woman taking care of a sick man, and lots of weird stuff happens. Also, she cries. The soundtrack is all operatic and not-at-all robot-rockish. But it has to be said: Everyone looks very nice!
The Big Pink – “Stay Gold”
Lloyd – “Dedication To My Ex (Miss That)”
Lloyd’s “Dedication To My Ex” is a ridiculously catchy retro-soul workout which, when it appeared on his King Of Hearts album, was also one of the more gleefully raunchy tracks in recent memory. It was also an all-star affair, with a weird narrator-type intro from Lil Wayne and an excellent André 3000 verse. A cleaned-up version of the song now has a fun video from director Bryan Barber, and Wayne and André aren’t in it. Instead, for reasons that I can only begin to contemplate, Wayne Brady lip-syncs Wayne’s part, and a talking cat, with the aid of some awesomely terrible CGI, lip-syncs the André part.
Active Child – “Playing House” (Feat. How To Dress Well)
Earlier in the summer, we posted “Playing House,” a sort of summit meeting of forlorn bedroom-indie falsetto addicts Active Child and How To Dress Well. That track now has a video, and whether it’s intended or not, the thing comes off as being very, very silly. It’s full of cheesed-out smoke effects and quivering tear-lined eyeballs and overblown lip-sync theatrics, and our friend Chris Weingarten has already rendered exactly the verdict you’d expect. Isaac Ravishankara directs.

Neon Indian "Polish Girl" by Tim Nackashi

It follows the story of a disconnected cyborg in love. Tim Nackashi directs, and it’s all part of the Creators Project.

Trash Talk - Awake
The Sacramento hardcore band Trash Talk puts on some of the most ridiculously fun and violent live shows I’ve had the privilege to see in the last few years. When they’re not prowling the stage like pumas and staring audience members down, they’re launching themselves through the air, usually directly at people. If you’re of a certain old-punk disposition, you’re probably very, very happy they exist. (You may remember the “Explode” video we posted last year, on account of it ruling and all.)
Trash Talk have a new EP called Awake coming out next month, and the brief tantrum of a title track already has a video. It opens with some nameless dude threatening to beat our ass, and it follows that up with footage of dudes doing various bad things on, and to, skateboards and bikes and wheelchairs and TVs. Sean Stout directs.

Big Troubles - Sad Girls
Brooklyn-by-way-of-Jersey outfit Big Troubles just put out this suburban malaise-soaked clip for “Sad Girls”. The band stars as Geek Squad parodies (Dork Squad) and seem to suck mightily at their jobs, unless it’s Geek Squad’s job to pour Miller Light inside your deconstructed computer monitor. Which, you know, might happen in a regular Geek Squad visit; I can’t speak from experience.

Explosions in the Sky - "Be Comfortable Creature"
This one comes from their director friend Paul Logan (probably not this guy, unfortunately), and it follows a sad bastard of a red furry alien as he gets lost on earth and then eventually tries to find ways to fit in. It’s 10 minutes long, and it’s an emotional journey.
Lana Del Rey - "Blue Jeans"
Lana Del Rey - "Blue Jeans" (dir. Lana Del Rey)
Lana Del Rey, the new glamorously bummed and vaguely sleazy L.A. orch-pop alter-ego of singer-songwriter Lizzy Grant, has already worked up a ton of buzz off of exactly one song: the pretty great “Video Games.” And now we’ve got another, the equally great “Video Games” B-side “Blue Jeans,” which already has its own video. Like “Video Games,” “Blue Jeans” is an exquisitely languid, fundamentally insincere love song that seems like the sort of thing Fiona Apple might be making if she were coming up today. If Del Rey has more songs like this on the way, she’s going places.

With his short career on the stage, they have already played major events such as the backing band for The Killers concert in Peru, Franz Ferdinand, Soul Asylum, playing to audiences of up to 35,000 people.
They have also played in the Peru's largest fetivales shared the stage with bands like Molotov (Mexico) and Los Pericos (Argentina) and recently (Feb 2011) the band opened for Janes Adicction, an emblematic 90s band.
Now Autobus is a about to release their a new album called "Maquina Destruccion" with 10 topics that they plan to conquer new markets and to tour several U.S. cities and Europe.

Kid Cudi – “Mr. Rager”
In the video for his brooding anthem “Mr. Rager,” Kid Cudi battles a comically huge mob of weapon-wielding miscreants. The fighting itself is dimly lit and badly choreographed, the two surprise endings are both lame, and Cudi himself does not exactly make the world’s most believable badass street-fighter. Still, anything that brings to mind memories of this might well be worth seven minutes of your time. Surface To Air’s Jeremy Rozan directs.

Berner – “Yoko” (Feat. Chris Brown, Wiz Khalifa & Big K.R.I.T.)
It seems pretty safe to say that we all hate Chris Brown around here, so maybe it’s lame to post anything associated with him in any way. But the man did make the rap song of the year, so we’re going to have to contend with him for a while, like it or not. Like plenty of other loathsome people in the past, Brown has been a part of some really good songs lately, and “Yoko” is one of those. Actually, the track was floating around for a while sans Brown before Breezy threw a verse on it and included it on his latest mixtape. Breezy’s verse is pretty whatever (he’s feeding eskimos?), but the song is really all about Big K.R.I.T.’s early-’00s-style quasi-Eastern beat and his slick singsong verse anyway. The song has a video now, and it’s good in a low-budget rap video sort of way. Lots of cars do donuts, and director Tha Razor has the good sense to film everything on grainy ’70s B-movie stock.

Rinocerose - Music Kills Me
Experience a real Air Guitar contest in this video from their album "Music Kills Me"!!!
Wilco - “Born Alone”
“Born Alone,” a vaguely Spoon-sounding track from Wilco’s new album The Whole Love, has a video. It’s a montage of band-related imagery (guitar racks, studio knobs, faces), and it’s nothing too exciting. But still! A good song! Mark Greenberg directs.
Battles - "My Machines" [ft. Gary Numan]
Battles went and made a video for “My Machines,” the collab with electro-pop god Gary Numan that shows up on their Gloss Drop album. The clip, from the directing team DANIELS, tells the story about a guy falling slowly and dramatically down the up escalator at a mall, never able to get up or to reach the bottom. Battles and Numan rock out unconcernedly around him. Maybe it’s a sort of modern-age Sisyphean parable, and maybe it’s just a fucking great low-budget music video.

Kate Moss drums with The Vaccines then gets naked - video
A short film showing Kate Moss drumming along with The Vaccines before getting naked has gone online to promote Rimmel make up. Scroll down to watch the video.
The four-minute clip shows Moss entering Spring Studios in north London and going to a studio in which The Vaccines are playing their single 'If You Wanna'. The model then picks up a Union Jack guitar and, grinning, attempts to play along with the band before sitting in the drum stool and trying her hand at some percussion.
Leaving the studio, she strips off to just her knickers and high heels and then puts on a red dress and poses for a photo shoot in her own studio, before racing to the roof and leaving in a helicopter. As you do.
Kate Moss and her husband, Jamie Hince of The Kills, were both in attendance at Mark Ronson and Josephine de la Baume’s wedding in the south of France last weekend.
The couple tied the knot in Aix en Provence, and guests at the two-day ceremony also included Lily Allen.

Justice "Audio, Video, Disco" - Dir: So Me
Justice have a new video for the brand-new lusty dance-rock track “Audio, Video, Disco,” and it manages to make the process of crafting a lusty dance-rock track look like a mythic undertaking. The camera dizzily spins around the duo as they take their time putting together music, and puppies, doves, Christmas trees, and light-up keyboards are all involved.

Veronica Falls - Bad Feeling

Tchaikovsky Animation Time-Lapse
Cameraman Joe Clarke took this mesmerizing time-lapse of how animator Barry JC Purves manipulates his Tchaikovsky puppet for Russian TV:
Whilst working on the film I shot this series of time-lapses with the help of students. Instead of just leaving the camera to click away at set intervals, we manually took a frame in synch with the frames Barry was taking as he animated, showing the puppet moving at his intended 25fps, almost!

100 Years of East London Style
