It's a beautiful thing when one thing leads to another.

Although Chico had sent me a mix he was working on of Santogold's L.E.S. Artistes (xxxchange remix) with LCD Soundsystem a few days ago, it wasn't until Danny's discovery of Badical Music that I encountered the L.E.S. Artistes music video. As if Santogold couldn't stand on her own two feet alone with her music, the video directed by Nima Nourizadeh visually compliments the strength and power of her song through a playfully visceral assemblage of images and actions.

After being completely blown away I naturally moved along from link to link until I discovered Nourizadeh's other work on this website, videos which were equally as exciting and compelling as the first. Mark Ronson and Lily Allen's song Oh My God is undeniably catchy, but the video adds a remarkable level of coy charm through a modern interpretation of the Jessica Rabbit scene from Who's Framed Roger Rabbit. Awesome, right?

Francz V remarked that the Hot Chip video for Ready For The Floor is 'very Devo'. Coming to terms with my generation and truly, honestly, not really knowing what 'very Devo' means, I'm just going to assume it translates to 'wickedly radsauce modern performance piece to wacky electro music'. Enjoy!

I present to you the "Polite Dance Song" by The Bird and the Bee. Music Video directed by Eric Warheim of the Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job. Mis compadres know I'm a die-hard fan of the Tim and Eric duo of saucesome, so upon the release of this particular video my pal Rocco knew to send it my way. The delightfully awkward and indecorous senior dance show meets the demure delivery of The Bird and the Bee. I simply had to share.
