The new Shins video for “Simple Song” is all about James Mercer’s death. It’s about a dysfunctional family, bad childhood memories and playing one last prank on your family after you’re gone. Posthumous pranks are the best pranks, probably. Watch the teaser below. Download the whole thing for free from iTunes. The new Shins record […]
CSS Release Video For "City Grrrl," a.k.a. The Transplant Theme Song
I’ve got a special place in my heart for CSS — let it be known that little miss Lovefoxxx’s adorable Brazilian accent can be found bopping around on many a travel playlist in my phone. Why? Because the girl brings me right back to a careless age when everything seemed complicated but was way more […]
Islands in the Stream: Neko Case and My Morning Jacket
Music video: Girls "Vomit"
Like fancy cars? Girls got your fancy cars. “Vomit” is first single from Father, Son, Holy Ghost, which is out next month. The video doesn’t have anything to do with the title of the track, but it’s got porny shots of an old Mustang, so it’s still pretty cool.
Music video: Theophilus London "Girls Girls $"
Remember when MTV used to show Liquid Television? This new Theophilus London video for the song “Girls Girls $” follows in the same style of pretty messed up cartoonography. It’s sort of reminiscent of the videos we’ve seen from Spank Rock and Das Racist, but bringing TL’s signature swagger to it, and pointing out what […]
New Of Montreal Video- "L'age D'or"
For you non-french speakers, the title of Of Montreal’s new song, “L’age d’or,” translates to “The Golden Age.” Though it’s not clear what the first single off the band’s thecontrollersphere EP is referring to, if it’s the amount of glitter used in their videos and live shows, then that sounds about right. Their new video, […]

Fader caught up with the super star at Southpaw in Brooklyn where he was seeing Zoe Kravitz’s band Elevator Fight and just straight chillin’ with Lenny. Check out the short interview below (he gives some insight to his new album!):
Video: Fucked Up "Queen of Hearts"
I don’t know if this is a jab at the PS22 kids who sing indie songs, the coolest Kidz Bop ever, or a thematic tribute to nostalgic young love that runs throughout Fucked Up’s David Comes to Life. But this video for “Queen of Hearts,” directed by Scott Cudmore, is amazing.
Theophilus London "Last Name London"
This song and video play out like an introduction to Theophilus London. But if you’ve been in the game, he has been putting out solid mixtapes, singles and EPs for the past few years. It is great to see he is finally getting some recognition from a major media sources (Whattup, MTV!). This song is […]
The Death Set: "Can You See Straight" video
Tour videos are always a ton of fun. Watching a band going from city to city having a blast, rocking out and hanging out in foreign locales. Even when those videos include a lot of footage of your own borough, it is still a lot of fun to see it smashed up against footage of […]
