Somewhere along the path of his career, Weird Al stopped really parodying music videos. I don't know why. If you'll recall, when Weird Al used to parody a song, he parodied the music video as well, as if the music video was so important to the identity of the song… Read More

Broward county’s own Ace Hood lets everybody know that he’s outchae in “We Outchea,” featuring Lil Wayne and directed by Colin Tilley. The gritty video shows Ace, Wayne, Birdman, DJ Khaled, and a bunch of other badass looking people in what appears to be the streets of South Florida. The… Read More

Mr. Killums - El-P’s drug, sex, and violence addicted squirrel puppet - has a very storied music video history. We’ve been fans of Killums since he appeared in two of our favorite videos from last year, El-P’s "The Full Retard" and "Stay Down," so we were super excited when we… Read More

I firmly believe that the only compact disc that was produced more than AOL discs in the mid-90s was Hootie and the Blowfish's 1994 album Cracked Rear View. It made Hootie and the Blowfish a household name, and is the 16th best selling album of all time in the USA.… Read More

Below you’ll find two scavenger hunt videos made by the campers, and below those you’ll find a link to learn more about the… Read More

I'm not a guy that can handle watching people perform in nerve-racking situations well, so when Lana Del Rey appeared on Saturday Night Live in January 2012, I had a hard time watching it. She was making her national TV debut on one of the biggest TV stages there is,… Read More

At the end of last year, Earl Sweatshirt released the Hiro Murai directed "Chum," a dark and introspective video that was easily one of the best hip-hop videos of 2012. Earl and Hiro’s latest collaboration, "Hive," has a similar dark tone and features Earl surrounded by several monsters wearing Vans… Read More

For the video “I Dream in Neon” by Dirty Beaches, director Michael Lawrence traveled to Germany to collaborate with Alex Zhang Hungtai (aka Dirty Beaches) on the project. The dark and partially autobiographical video features Alex as a the main character, highlighting what Michael describes as him putting “everything” into… Read More

There are lots of singing shows out there, you guys. So many, in fact, that it’s pretty difficult to keep track of all the winners, let along all the finalists. However, the girls in X-Factor finalists Fifth Harmony seem to have enough talent and personality to break out of the… Read More

On Friday Karmin released a video for their first single off of their upcoming studio album, Pulses. The song is called "Acapella", and it's a definite departure from the duo's previous work in a lot of ways, not to mention the styling and use of toast. The video premiered on… Read More

When trying to come up with an idea for a music video, if there is an image that you can’t get out of your head, it’s best to go with it. Director Ben Fee couldn’t get the idea of flesh out of his head when coming up with the concept… Read More

Another week of music videos in the books, great job all around, gang. We want to start by congratulating Ellie Goulding and director Mike Sharpe for their video “Burn” holding on to the number one spot this week, with Britney Spears and Marc Klasfeld’s “Ohh La La” giving them a… Read More

Yesterday the video for "Ooh La La" by Britney Spears was released to promote Smurfs 2, featuring Spears and her children. She's in full Mom mode here - basically mugging for the camera with animated Smurfs to a theatre full of small children. It's a fun, colorful video and smurfs… Read More

There have been plenty of songs and music videos about relationship troubles. However, not many of those videos take the approach that Ellis Bahl took for the video for "The War" by Josh Record, where the troubles are reflected not only in Josh’s performance, but in the atmosphere and actions… Read More

Somewhere in the history of America, somebody decided that making fun of the French was not only okay, it was awesome and should be encouraged. What culture out there is more stereotyped here in the USA if not the French? It's not just baguettes and mimes, we're defintely down for… Read More

Last month, a bunch of music video directors got together with a bunch of kids from The Bronx to work together for a week on a bunch of awesome video projects - mainly music videos. It’s called OMG! Cameras Everywhere, and we’re pretty sure you’ve heard of it already because… Read More

If you love ABBA, you are probably thinking that since they broke up in 1982, they probably don't have a lot of music videos for you to watch. Well, you'd be wrong. Very wrong. ABBA has music videos for pretty much their entire singles catalog - we have 32 videos… Read More

The Benny Boom directed video for "V.S.O.P." by K. Michelle is a classic example of the relationship video. It features K. Michelle looking fly in a variety of cool outfits, from low cut tops to high-wasted pants, and co-stars a dude who’s so handsome that it’s intimidating. The video highlights… Read More

The leaked version of Kanye West’s “Black Skinhead” music video, which was spread around the internet pretty freely yesterday, is apparently not the official version. “The BLKKK SKKKN HD video that leaked yesterday was not the official version,” Kanye tweeted. That’s pretty much as definitive as Kanye gets. And, since… Read More

Each offering Ross McDowell and Ben Murray (aka Bullion Collective) have created for Disclosure has brought a different light to their music, starting with the MVA-nominated "Control," and then followed by "Latch," both in 2012. Their newest video, "F For You," breaks new ground as Disclosure's first performance-led music video.… Read More

Director Ian Perlman takes an extremely personal approach to the stock-footage music video. Rather than downloading a bunch of footage from web archives, Ian used old footage of his own family in the video for "Together/Never" by Oberhofer. Pulling footage from two VHS tapes shot by his grandfather, Ian is… Read More

Beck just turned 43 yesterday, and for a guy who is still young, he's had a pretty varied career. From his early low-fi stuff, to being a 90s superstar, to sad acoustic albums, Beck has had a lot of career "eras" in a relatively short amount of time. My favorite… Read More

Before there was DVR, if someone wanted to save something from TV, they would have to get some blank VHS tapes and record it with their VCR (usually with the red audio cable left out because most old TVs didn't have the input for it). Often times, they’d be taping… Read More

There's only a few things we're pretty sure humans were doing thousands of years that we still do today. Other than the classics like staying warm with fire and killing each other, watching other humans move around to music is gotta be on that list somewhere. That's what makes dance… Read More
