Once in a while a director just clicks with an artist for a certain period of that artist's output. Whatever the reason, the director and artist are on the same wavelength. We're really glad this happened to MGMT and director Ray Tintori in 2009 when MGMT released Oracular Spectacular. Of… Read More

Yesterday The Lonely Island released The Wack Album, their third studio album.

Welcome to Music Video Relapse, a series where we revisit a classic music video at lunchtime every day. You're welcome. After Earth, a science fiction film starring Will Smith and his son, 14 year-old Jaden Smith, came out last Friday. People were not impressed (The Onion said it best). How… Read More
