In 2009 the best hair in rock was back with Swords, Morrissey’s latest b-sides collection. Tracks were mainly leftovers from his last three album sessions and I’ll give some kudos 2 Morrissey, for having an open mind in the possibility that promotional video can be art. Watch the video here. (via)

Well here’s the promo video for the next Goldfrapp track called Rocket, which not only features a desert-driving rocket truck, but incredibly strange music.

Jacques Palminger = Heinrich Ebber = Hans Fuchs, earlier drummer at Dackelblut punkers and founding member of epic german comedy ensemble Studio Braun, wants you to join in the fun!

Salt ‘N Pepa, anyone? Margreezy + Bishara + fashion designer Swanzy = RC$K from North London. With a sound they designate as a mix of ”old skool garage, grime, hip-hop” with a ”splash of indie, rock, pop, trance, funk”. U can easily compare them with the north-american Hipster movement, but obviously this is pure fun and awesomeness! Watch their video here. (via)

Unbelievable. Tons of sprayed wooden blocks, stop-framed for an abstract kiff. Nobody Beats The Drum’s VJ / visual artist Rogier van der Zwaag’s last six months has been spent making nothing but this video.

This track is off C&S’s ST/Elephant 1234-EP, released via Domino Records. The Count & Sinden are very hit or miss for me, but this 1 is a true burner. Gotta love this breakbeat-sytle! Nice video was shot by Martin Zähringer, watch it here. (via)

Whatta nice collaboration between british up-and-comers We Have Band and the inspiring french directing-duo Jul & Mat. WHB plan to release their self-titled debut album in April via Naive Records. Darren spoke about the album: “We like a lot of darker music.

Awesome. Nocando + Busdriver = teh isht! Out of the L.A. underground rap-scene, Nocando’s debut full length opus, Jimmy the Lock - which tooks 3 years in the making - drops now via Alpha Pup Records.

What a brilliant and refreshing track. And what a moody video, made by the scandinavian artist duo Frode & Marcus. These hypnotic sounds are the result of Peder Mannerfelt and Malcolm Pardon’s shrinking experiments. Earlier Peter co-produced the unbelieveable advanced Fever Ray LP. Now he’s Roll The Dice: watch the video here. (via)

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.

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.

Now, their new Teen Park album is out via Carpark Records Subpop and according to GvB, there will be a additional DVD feat. 10 videos for the album’s 10 tracks! Sadly, it looks like u have to watch the video at the GvB-page, which fuckin’ sucks monkey nuts, here. (via)

This is the smart, post-DIY msc-vd for Montreal’s incredible Merril Garbus. Real Live Flash, the progressive/lo-fi/R&B track, is off her upcoming Youth EP - via 4AD. Watch out for the concert next Sunday, February 24th @West-Germany and watch the refreshing, self-made clip: here. (via)

Hackney-based Les Fauves released their amazing Liquid Modernity album via Urtovox last year.

You can check the result here. (via)

This is Little Dragon’s video for Never Never, from their must-listen Machine Dreams LP - released last year through Peacefrog. In the video you will see Swedish-Japanese front woman Yukimi Nagano, in a rather played out kaleidoscope format: watch the Ulla Tomtom-made video here. (via)

I mentioned the Acid Girls and their cool TNS video earlier, now there’s a video for the b-side of that lovely 12” via IheartComix. The video is 4 those who can handle food-freakouts. Directed by Steven Ilous, watch it here. (via)

First there was Jack House and in 2010 there are Tokyo’s Dexpistols, presenting their 1st release called New Jack House. Their boysnoized version kicks arse and the acclaimed debut LP is out soon via Ed Banger Roc Trax. Until then, there is this video here. (via)
