Here comes Booba (”Je suis pas dans l’bling bling”) inna very technoid remix by Yuksek. The original sounds like this. The video = reminds me of this and this, but it’s cool executed + nicely edited by Lionel Hirlé and Grégory Ohrel. Je le kiffe trop. Watch it here. (via)

These are the fantabulous Not Squares: synth-wizzards Michael Kinloch + Ricki O’Rawe and Keith Winter on drums. Somewhere between DFA & Battles. Their anticipated debut album is due May 2010 via Dublin-based Richter Collective. The new video? Put simply, it’s pure joy: watch it here. (via)

NSFW. New video out of Xiu Xiu’s new album Dear God, I Hate Myself. Watch Angela Seo self-induced vomiting & eat this personal Jamie Stewart-quote: “The title came from a night a literally being on my knees and speaking these words in a prayer to God. It is about the tension between feeling hopeless but also feeling as if spiritual love is possible and there for you if you want it. ...” Watch the video here. (via)

This is a german blog, somehow asscociated 2 a music magazine germany’s opinion-leading pop culture magazine Spex, but it’s pretty impossible to watch (comissioned) german music videos here. Pourqoi? And, does it matter? Me thinks: yes. Up next there are some recent german videos. This showcase gives u an idea, how intoxicated the german major landscpae is. Or, is it the music? Or, the directors? You name it. Of course, there are some cool german videos out of the DIY-Empire, but our music video (televison) standart looks like this:

Silbermond - Ich bereue nichts

—

Radiopilot - Immer wenn wir träumen

—

Ich + Ich - Pflaster

—

Jeanette - Material Boy (Don’t Look Back)

—

Eisblume- Louise

—

Stefanie Heinzmann - Unbreakable

—

Rosenstolz - Gib mir Sonne

—

Tokio Hotel - Don’t jump

—

Cassandra Steen - Stadt

Dark. This is some amazing stuff here: avantgarde alt-pop music by Cape Town’s Die Antwoord. “I made it i’m in the intah-net” - weirdest and most mind-bashing music video since long. “I’m like all these different things, all these different people… fucked into one person”. Check the rad, Gummo-esque hiep-hop video here. (via)

Never heard of L.A.s Mia Doi Todd, before I discoverd this new Michel Gondry video today. Thank god, he leaves the sucking advertising world from time 2 time, for shooting a music video. This nicely choregraphed video for Mia Doi Todds’s Open Your Heart, is just another Gondry-classical. Watch it here. (via)

The L.A./S.F. rap duo Meanest Man Contest consists of Eric Steuer (= MC Ericsolo + former Wired music-editor) + Noah Blumberg (= Producer + Quarterbar). The John Irwin-directed video 4 Partially Smart was shot in Los Angeles and deals with the web series called TXT M3 B1TCH. Anyway, the new video is here. (via)

No, I am not stalking for videos made by Jacqueline Castel! But this new hell of a music video, gonna be the 3rd-Castel-video in here. Check her earlier videos for Gary War or Rainbow Arabia + dont’t miss her latest: 4 the hazy, anti-pop track Red Ford Radio taken from the new U.S. Girls album, via Siltbreeze. Watch the video here. UPDATE: J just told me: gotta wait ’til Monday’s offcial Fader video premiere now. (via)

If you are bored of John Maus, Feist or Lykke Li, this might be your next source of inspiration. Cant remember having ever blogged a live video here, but this is just: wow! This is Carla Morrison arranging a great version of Manu Chao’s classical La Despedida. Watch the video here. (via)

This is the next dosis of nicely tranced dream-pop, by Copenhagen natives Efterklang. Their Magic Chairs LP, wrapped in a zeitgeist artwork by Danish designers Nan Na Hvass and Sofie Hannibal, is out soon via Rumraket 4AD. Watch the new Modern Drift video, made by Kristian Leth, here. (via)
