Just a few video clips to get your weekend started off right. Our last video post was a little flimsy so we tried to super size this week’s edition.
Vampire Weekend – “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa”
I know musically this has already been said, but how David Bryne-ish does Ezra look in this video?
P.S. Sorry To intrude on you’re post Taylor but I had to say that whomever is in charge of selecting the creative teams for Vampire Weekend’s videos (even if it’s the boys themselves) deserve a raise. I haven’t seen such expertly crafted, and fun videos in ages. It was really nice to see that I’m not the only one who’s super excited for “Lost Boys 2: The Tribe”, and has been secretly watching Teen Wolf for all these years. Thanks VDubya for always being there when I need you.
Really cool “Rehearsal Space” video of A-Trak doing his thing. He’s a really inspiring DJ and an unmatched performer, it’s videos like this that make me want to step up my game with Logic.

Coldplay has posted the official video for “Viva La Vida” on their page, as well as a “video cover version” inspired by Depeche Mode and Anton Corbijn. Guess which version I prefer? You can watch them both when you click the 1 and 2 links at the top of their homepage
Black Cab Sessions has an awesome performance by the Cool Kids. If you like hip hop, and you aren’t already in love with this group, you’ve got a serious problem. Hopefully this video helps convince you.
Pitchfork.Tv has posted the first preview of the long delayed Flaming Lips video extravaganza, Christmas on Mars
New Yelle video for “Ce Jeu”
Chromeo’s finally blessed us with a video for “Fancy Footwork”. The deluxe edition of their latest album is out now.
New M83 video for “Kim and Jessie”, check this interview where he talks about the tune here
Lykke Li & El Perro Del Mar join forces to put on one hell of a take away show.

“Dance Dance Dance”
Baebl Music also has a video of El Perro Del Mar’s entire live set at Bowery online here

Juelz Santana and Lil’ Wayne go booooooooooowwwwwlin’
Backstage with Other Music has a couple of sweet Stephen Merritt videos:
Snoop Dogg’s “Those Gurlz”
The Killers debuted two new tunes live this past week, and they sound like a triumphant return to the glory days of “Hot Fuss”. Based on these alone, I’m looking forward to their new material. Flowers said recently he wants to have an album wrapped up by the end of the summer, so hopefully we’ll all get “killed” this fall.

Sadly, I missed Tom Waits “Glitter & Doom” tour because of school, but seeing videos from some of these performances is enrapturing.
This kid absolutely shreds it. Holy crap.
Also, this isn’t very video related, but while I’m here, Kanye West has an audio stream of the set Justice spun for the Dior show over at his blog. He’s also got a stream of a track he produced for T.I.’s “Paper Trail”, and it sounds alright
