Tom Scharpling Totally Nailed this Aimee Mann Video, Man

That's what's so fun about radio: You have no idea what the host looks like. Who would've guessed Tom Scharpling was such a hunk?

Peter Serafinowicz Directed the New Hot Chip Music Video and Cast Reggie Watts in it and I Don't Get It

Here's the new music video from Hot Chip, directed by Peter Serafinowicz and featuring Terence Stamp, Reggie Watts and Lara Stone. In it, Stamp leads a group of dancing monks and Watts and Stone fight in a couple of spaceships. I think? I'll be honest, I have no clue what it all means. I think I preferred his last effort for Hot Chip, which was easier to follow and also much more unsettling in the best way possible. But this one's still fun and the song is catchy, so I suppose it doesn't really matter. But please, if you've got a deep reading of this thing, feel [...]
