Neil Young releases two videos for "Johnny Magic"
Remember the double-disc album the Bravery did, The Sun and The Moon, where the band released a set of songs on the first disc and redid them on the second? That was kind of cool, kind of fun. Neil Young has tried the same thing with his most recent video releases, but apparently doesn't understand that in order to pull this off, it's important that the variation be, well, a variation. His videos for "Johnny Magic" are exceptionally similar.... read more

Found in: Music, NewsMalajube unveils "Porté Disparu" video for Labyrinthes
There used to be a time when having a band from Montreal was an instant guarantee for at least three months of positive blog press (that honor now belongs to Baltimore, with the stipulation that they have at least one toy keyboard in their repertoire.) Fortunately for the Francophile contingent, nothing will stop Malajube from delivering Quebec's finest progressive-indie-emo-jams (their words.) The band is preparing for the release of Labyrinthes, the follow-up to its breakout 2006 album Trompe L'Oeil.... read more

Like peanut butter and jelly, Sonny and Cher, or a monkey and a cowboy outfit, some things just go together well. Collaborations between Weezer and Spike Jonze have always been fruitful, producing some of the most inventive music videos ever conceived. Videos for "Undone," "Buddy Holly," and "Island in the Sun" helped Jonze get the notice he needed to transition into the feature director he is today.... read more

Found in: NewsThe Everybodyfields cover the Everly Brothers in Chattanooga, Tenn.
I was half-passed out on a couch in Austin when the Everybodyfields played in my hometown two weeks ago, so I missed Sam Quinn and Jill Andrews' incredibly sweet cover of the Everly Brothers "All I Have to Do is Dream." The population of Texas should thank YouTube user billfive for taking this video. Had he not, I'd be trading all y'all and your tacos and barbecue for a time machine so I could zap back in time, battle I-75 up from Atlanta and crash at my parents' house to see it myself. (Watch out, I still might.)Vague personal threats... read more

Perhaps it was his role as Don Logan in Sexy Beast that helped Ben Kingsley connect with his inner angry, unbridled side—a far cry from the actor's famous performance as Ghandi. Whatever the case, Mean Magazine's recent video of the knighted, Oscar-winning actor lip-syncing as Ian MacKaye to hardcore punk band Minor Threat's eponymous classic song has got the Internet all in a tizzy with questions.... read more
