1. Drake goes arty in his new clip with Rihanna, the title track from last year’s uber-popular album. Yoann Lemoine, who also records under the moniker Woodkid, directs a simple but beautiful video, focusing on the two stars.

    "Boyz in The Hood" taught me what GTA meant #GrandTheftAutoTaughtMe
  3. Because if you haven’t spent 35 seconds looking at this stupidity, you are missing out.

  4. The swiss-army knife of the Rap world. The book is made of hemp, Snoop’s lyrics are printed on the pages made of rolling papers and you can strike a match on the spine. Available online April 20th (that’s 4:20 y’all) but for those of you hitting Coachella the papers will be premiered for free as Snoop is headlining the closing night.

  5. Hailing from Blacksburg, VA one-man-band Tommy Davidson, aka Dream Cop, just released this video for “Nasdaq.” Loops of old piano house are layered with a stutteringly driving beat. High energy, atmospheric.

  7. Give these guys four minutes of your attention: ernest punk vocals and 80s new wave sounds – Stockholm’s Holograms are going to be gaining lots of new fans. You should be one.

  8. Porcelain Raft’s Strange Weekend is still getting a lot of play over here and “Drifting In and Out” is a standout. The video leaves a little bit to be desired as once again we are presented with smoke machines and double exposure, but that seems to be the DIY look of the moment.

  11. GoPano introduced 360 degree video to the masses with their iPhone app and attachable lens, so Tanlines decided to play around with it for their first video off Mixed Emotions. Pretty simple and shot in their living room studio, watch Eric Emm and Jesse Cohen play around on their various instruments. Also, the album is fantastic.

  12. Check out this crazy clip: Hunter S. Thompson interviewing Keith Richards in 1993. Imagine if you combined all the drugs the two of them had consumed by that point.

  13. Here’s video number two off Jack White’s new album, Blunderbuss, which comes out later this month. In the strange clip Jack White is the only adult in a world full of crazed children drinking tussin, destroying furniture and spitting smoothies at each other. He’s in a real bind by the end. Stick around for the cliffhanger.
