NEW BROKEN BELLS!: broken bells - the high road

broken bells - the high road
[this is a bit of an event for indie music fans as the shins lead singer james mercer joins up with danger mouse on a brand new project. as you know the last time danger mouse worked with an artist, the result was a little band called gnarls barkley. buzz is high, plus the album is pretty good.]

video of the week: gnarls barkley - going on (video premiere)

gnarls barkley - going on [link 2]
[this video is hot! totally simple, but captivating to watch. maybe it's the dulled retro look mixed in with some great dancing. maybe it's just the fact that it's shot in jamaica and i'm craving a warm climate. or maybe it's just a slow week for new videos. i just like it. deal. like it? go and buy the album the odd couple]

gnarls barkley - run (video premiere)

gnarls barkley - run [link 2]
[the kooky soul-sters are back with a new album (the odd couple) and a hyper magnetic single. guest starring a certain justin timberlake in a weird MJ wig, apparently the video got banned by MTV for being too visually trippy. what? MTV play music videos?]

new video thursday: nas feat chrisette michelle, fergie, joss stone, the hidden cameras, gnarls barkley

nas feat chrisette michele - can't forget about you
[love the 'unforgettable' sampling and the cameo at the end, but the real gem is guest vocalist chrisette michele. i can't wait to hear her debut album as it'll be a hot scorcher for 2007!]


fergie feat ludacris - glamorous
[no matter how much i wanna hate her, the singles end up creeping in my psyche whether i want them to or not. this one only took two weeks to get under my skin]


joss stone - tell me bout it
[i'm actually looking forward to her upcoming album (especially the lauryn hill duet), but what's with the crappy hair color? ugh!]


the hidden cameras - death of a tune
(check out the blog red blondehead for this track and more)
[ah... the hidden cameras... just love them to bits. nothing more to add really]


gnarls barkley - smiley faces
[released a few months back in the uk, the single finally gets a release in the states (as does the wonderful video). just the rights and clearances alone make you wanna see this video]
