Smashing Pumpkins - "Owata"

Smashing Pumpkins are known for their gorgeous, and often a little weird, music videos -- their clips for "Today," "1979," "Tonight, Tonight," and "Zero" helped define MTV's mid-'90s glory days. And Billy Corgan hasn't given up his visual ambitions. His reunited alt-rock band just released a 12-minute short film for "Owata," a track from their 44-track project Teargarden By Kaleidyscope -- and it's all about female professional wrestling.

For the short film. Corgan -- a fan of professional wrestling, who often posts about it on his Twitter account -- teams with director Robby Starbuck to provide a behind-the-scenes look at the personal and professional lives of female wrestlers, played by real-life ring ladies Cheerleader Melissa and Shelly Martinez, plus an appearance by Scott "Raven" Levy of Juggalo Championship Wrestling, who plays the girls' trainer.

As the catchy song fades in and out, we watch them train, argue in their dressing rooms, and blow off steam at the bar. Then, of course, we watch one muscular lady totally body slam the other in the ring!

The video is just the latest oddball visual offering from the Pumpkins. NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar recently released a shot clip where he dunks a pumpkin in honor of the Chicago-born rockers. Watch it here.

Music Video: The Happy Nobodies - Tales that are True.

Part of the idea behind "Andi" is to encourage musicians to get their music out there faster even if it's in a more raw and simple format. Songs by Andi that have positive feedback will be produced with full instrumentation by our indie band. (The Happy Nobodies) myspace.com/thehappynobodies

Coldplay - Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

The new video from the Chris Martin band is colorful like the one for the song that inspired it (“Ritmo De La Noche,” via “I Go To Rio“) and make some nice use of stop motion photography and the big budget a band like Coldplay carries around. Fuck with this band and get splattered with fabulous colors of paint.

Light Asylum – “A Certain Person”

Light Asylum: A Certain Person
on Nowness.com.

Over the past two years, Brooklyn vet Shannon Funchess has gone from being Brooklyn’s most recognizable backup singer (see: !!!, LCD, TVOTR) to fronting the locally celebrated dark wave project Light Asylum. Shannon says she grew up loving “Siouxsie and the Banshees, Depeche Mode, The Cure and The Human League,” and if you add Grace Jones, light sabers, and horses’ whinnies to the equation, you have a fair starting point for Light Asylum’s In Tension EP. “A Certain Person” captures Shannon in one of her most romantically vulnerable states (“Shallow Tears” notwithstanding), and filmmaker Eden Batki’s video treatment — blending concert footage with the band in real life and offstage environments on a west coast tour last year — does well to humanize and soften Funchess’s otherwise powerful, almost intimidating, poise and swagger. Plus this song just rules for summer heartaches.

Drake - Marvins Room

Drake continues his long windup to Take Care with a video for “Marvin’s Room,” the affecting single he released last month. The video treatment matches the lyrics, which catch Drake at the club, floundering in a post-fame drink-and-casual-sex bender, making an ill-advised drunk-dial to an ex who’s seemingly moved on but answering anyway. This won’t end well. It’s an unsympathetic position rendered with just enough relatable humanity to make you feel for a guy who is probably doing better at life than you. This equals talent. Who is Marvin though? Click on for Drake taking shots and being uncomfortable with his own reflection:

The Arcade Fire Presents "Scenes from The Suburbs" Dir: Spike Jonze

You may now watch Scenes From The Suburbs in its 28 minute entirety over at mubi.com. To refresh your recollection, Scenes is the short film Win and Will Butler co-wrote with Spike Jonze, featuring music from Arcade Fire and a trailer promising drama. You’ll recognize some of it from the “The Suburbs” music video. Sounds like Win’s narrating as well. Head over and press play.

GIVERS - Up Up Up

BTW Givers now have a colorful, gravity-defying video for signature track “Up Up Up.”

Nine Inch Nails - Survivalism

According to the The Hollywood Reporter, Trent Reznor's long-in-the-works HBO/BBC miniseries "Year Zero" now has a writer. The miniseries, based on Nine Inch Nails' dystopic 2007 concept album, has been in development since last year and a subject of rumors for way longer than that. And now Jim Uhls, the man who wrote the Fight Club screenplay (as well as the incomprehensible teleportation thriller Jumper), will write the miniseries.

Below, check out the video for the Year Zero track "Survivalism".
