Mia Doi Todd’s “Open Your Heart”, directed by Michel Gondry. Gondry continues to pump out the great music videos, this time using some people dressed and dancing in amazing technicolor dream-tees. /via We Love You So

Today’s hot boy band, Hot Chip, perform a masterpiece in this great video for their song “I Feel Better”. It’s been open in my browser for so long I’ve forgotten how I found it. Most likely via MBV Music

If this first installment of the Onion A.V.Club’s “Undercover” is any indication, this series is going to be amazing. Check out the list of future songs on the site: Ted Leo And The Pharmacists cover Tears For Fears “Everybody Wants to Rule The World”.

I’ve only watched this once, but I think I could watch/listen to it over and over again for the rest eternity. I know nothing about the Morning Benders, but aim to know everything about them by the end of the week. I know they’re coming to the Croc in April, and I hope to be in attendance. Video also features one of my faves, John Vanderslice, on one of the many guitars. /via MBV

Brilliant. OK Go, masters of the viral music video, have done it again. /via Kung Fu Grippe

P.S. I know it’s been a while since I posted here. I will come back, I promise.

I’m not even halfway through the Advent Calendar and already I’m wanting to revise the list. But I’m going to stick to my guns. I’ll include an “honorable mention” category in the new year to cover the albums I inadvertently missed.

I think the Dirty Projector’s Bitte Orca is going to be on that list, but I need to pick it up first. I’ve liked what they did with David Byrne on the Dark was the Night compilation for a while now, and I only now just discovered this video for a performance with Björk at a small benefit in NYC earlier this year. How did I miss this?
