Well, it’s not the “Monster Mash” but Bruce Springsteen has decided to give us all a little Halloween treat that is tastier than even the sweetest miniature-sized Almond Joy–a video for a brand new song. The bluesy haunt of “A Night with the Jersey Devil” is very un-Bruce, but his wild stomping howl (think Nick […]

The Opposite of Girl Power
Last night I was trying to find clips of Disney classics on YouTube to keep a three year old happy, and I discovered that seven-year-old girls aren’t the only ones obsessed with Cinderella et al. There is a frightening world of Disney Princess fan vids out there, kids. For example, this one features the atrocious […]

Red Fang – “Prehistoric Dog”
While I am hesitant to say that the new Red Fang video for “Prehistoric Dog” is the single greatest video in the history of ever, but, oh, who am I kidding? It is. The Whitey McConnaughy directed clip has everything a great video requires: Metal. Beer. Gratuitous vomiting. And, most importantly, angry nerds with weaponry. […]

“You Can Vote However You Like”
Idolator was right when they declared this clip “The Best Election-Related Thing You Will See All Day.” Seriously, just kill all the ads and run this clip all day long. Sorry, T.I., your song was just pwned by a bunch of little kids in school uniforms. End Hits: With McCain you’re going to have some […]

Campaign Ads to Get Behind
Comedy group The Landline presents John McCain attack ads as if they had been directed by John Woo, Kevin Smith, and Wes Anderson. They’re all pretty okay, though the last one just makes me want to watch Life Aquatic, or Rushmore, even that American Express commercial he once did. Any of them, really. I love […]

Portugal The Man Visits the Land of the Lost
I feel as if I haven’t sung the praises of Censored Colors–the glorious new recording from the local boys in Portugal the Man–as much as I should have. Sure to find a home on my year end best-of list, the album is difficult to pin down under any one genre, yet it still feels cohesive […]

DVD review: Touch Of Evil…
Every film geek I’ve ever known loves Orson Welles, which has actually put me off seeing his movies until recently. “Oh, you’ve got to see what he’s doing with the lenses in Citizen Kane,” they say. “Did you see that scene on the ferris wheel in the The Third Man?” Well, yes and no. I […]

The New Janelle Monae Video is Redonkulous
After singing her praises in our current issue, there wasn’t much Janelle Monae needed to do in order to capture my devotion any more than she already had. But, oh no, the sci-fi R&B superstar in the making, had to drop this insane video for “Many Moons.” The big budget video (you can thank the […]

You’ve Been Warned…
This week, I was lucky enough to find a couple of videos that speak to the real me. One is an incredibly catchy song about cake, featuring a singing kitten! The other is a prairie dog singing Another One Bites the Dust. I’m hoping these two videos will make your Friday afternoon go that much […]
