Here are some videos you might have missed this week while you were waiting with bated breathe to hear what Madonna had to say about MIA's finger."YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN"
CultsCults is still a thing? Yes! Keeping in theme with their nostalgia-pop appeal, this new video, directed by Isaiah Seret (previously: "Go Outside") for "You Know What I Mean" follows band members Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion as star-crossed lovers in--what else?--a carnival love triangle. Cults fans will love the syrupy retro aesthetic, while Cults detractors will love seeing Oblivion permanently disfigured after throwing himself through a wall of fire. Something for everyone!"NIGGAS IN PARIS"
Kanye West & Jay-ZI cannot imagine a single person watching this and saying "Yes, this is the caliber of content I'd expect people with Kanye West and Jay-Z's resources to produce." Someone should have looped Aziz Ansari in, because he would have killed it."THE LAST GOODBYE" (LIVE ON THE LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN)
The KillsAlison Mossheart (donning her finest "Helena Bonham Carter") and Jamie Hince (aka Mr. Kate Moss) took to the Late Night stage last night with nothing but a keyboard and a microphone for a stripped-down, beautifully moody rendition of "The Last Goodbye." Say what you will about The Kills, but hot damn, these two are nice to look at…"I FINK YOU FREAKY"
Die AntwoordSpeaking of the Late Show, I would pay real American dollars to watch Letterman viewers in Middle America (or, as they're more commonly called, "Letterman viewers") reacting to Die Antwoord's performance of their newest single, "I Fink U Freeky." I can only imagine it would look a lot like this. (NB: Just because Ninja dances like that in public, doesn't mean you can too. Let's nip this in the bud, kids…)"YELLA DIAMONDS"
Rick RossRick Ross' new video for "Yella Diamonds" might be a bit difficult to follow for someone who A) doesn't speak Spanish or B) doesn't understand the subtle complexities of underground jewellery/drug(?) trafficking, home invasions, and general hoodrat-ery, but you should still get to know this song and video because it will undoubtedly be what all your white friends shamelessly rap along with at some shitty dive this weekend.DARK HORSE ENTRY:A video of a dog DJing. I'm not exactly sure what kind of dark magic sorcery is at play here, but I think that it's really important that we all watch this clip.@sashahecht
