"Sing it back now" - This chick

M.I.A. is back with a new video everybody! And you know what? This one, while still a little crazy, is only half as crazy as the stuff we usually see from M.I.A. The new video, for the song “Bad Girls” features a bunch of militant looking women rollin’ with their homies. Like they do. As with most M.I.A., you can certainly dance to this. So… enjoy.

I want one of those plexi-glass cars!

It’s time to look back on some stuff that we meant to post but didn’t and then turn right around and post something brand new(ish).

First up is a fun little video from Dananananaykroyd for the song “Muscle Memory” that the band posted a while back. This video is pretty much exactly what my workout regimen looks like. Except mine is less Addidas and more spandex.

Next up we have a new video from Florence & The Machine. This video, for the song “Lover To Lover,” is pretty boring. It’s just Florence singing on a stage. Boring! Where are the slow motion shots of birds and falling and racism (just kidding) that were in all the other Florence & The Machine videos?

There sure seems to be a large number of animated videos lately. Or is it the same amount of animated videos as always but I am just noticing more of them and posting more of them? We’ll probably never know the answer to that. One of life’s most interesting mysteries.

Anywho, Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s have released a video for the new song “Prozac Rock” and it’s animated. The video has a dude bouncing a basketball and eating money? I guess? I’m not real sure.

Here’s the video courtesy of Paste Magazine:

Margot’s new album, Rot Gut, Domestic, comes out in March.

Late last year Talib Kweli released a new song called “Distractions.” It’s a good song. Real good. You can actually download it for free from his Facebook page. Talib also released a video for the song and we are unfortunately just now getting to it. Oh well.

the video for “Distractions” is a run-o-the-mill man-about-twon video where Talib is shown in a number of different places and at times rapping directly in to the camera. Just like 70% of rap videos. But that’s fine. Sometimes the simple ideas work. It works here. The song is good and the message comes through loud and clear so that’s really what I’m assuming Talib is concerned about.

Check it:

Talib has a new album coming out soon. We’ll forward on the deets when we know ‘em.

"What we made... it was ok" - These guys

Danger Mouse is a victim of his own success. Because he has been so great, we now expect him to be so great. His last couple projects have been a let down and they have only been a let down because the bar has been set, by Danger Mouse himself, so god damned high that anything less than perfect would be a let down. Released under a name other than Danger Mouse, the Rome and Broken Bells albums would have been phenomenal. But because we expect more, those albums were unfairly received. Because I know this to be true I have been in a self imposed Danger Mouse fasting period for the last several months. I don’t want to hear anything Danger Mouse related for a while and I want to then go back and re-listen to his recent stuff with a new perspective. That’s my plan. As such, I have not watched this new video from his Rom project. But I’m sure you might want to check it out. It, or at least the song, has Jack White singing. And the still image of this video looks really interesting.
