More after the jump… (more…)

Holy shit, watch this.

I’m laughing so hard I’m gonna crap my pants, I’m serious. Humans are so dumb. I’m having one of those moments, I don’t know. I don’t even know if there is sound on these but if there is, watch them silent. Just watch.

Two more after the jump… (more…)

The video for Santogold’s “LES Artistes” is approximate perfection.

It was surreal and wonderful to host a party in my home among a collection of so many of the people who first awed me when I moved to this city. It’s rare that you get to be friends with the people who inspire you: Sarah Lewitinn and Josh Madden and Sophia Lamar hanging out in my bedroom; The Misshapes DJing in my living room; Nylon, the Village Voice, Paper, Gawker, Fashion Week Daily, and a whole parade of stunning bloggers taking pictures… Saturday was great. Kate said “way to get your house party written about in the Observer!” I’m so grateful for the help and the love everybody has given me.

I want to thank everybody involved in this show and this party, the photo subjects, and everyone who’s let me take their picture. It was a great success. Thank you infinitely to the people who went so far out of their way to help me out and give their time and energy: Geneva Simms, The Misshapes, Christian Siriano, Harold Joyce & Zygo Energy Vodka, Anna Rexia, Alana Jones-Mann, Kate McGivney, Jimmie D, Peter Pazdrowski, Aaron and Kill Shop Kill, Justin Beck and MerchDirect, Jessanne Collins and The Playgirls, Zach Palmer and Catherine and the L Magazine, everyone at Box Magazine, Jenny and In De Goot, Lorraine and Ian at The Musebox, Sarah Lewitinn and Stolen Transmission, J. Travis and NY Health and Racquet Club, David Persky and Indiepix, Delilah and Charlie on the door, Caitlyn on the bar, and Jasen upstairs; show subjects Agyness Deyn, Josh Madden, Gurj Bassi, Audrey Kitching, Adam Green, Cody & the Ssion, Xiaoting Luo, Jes Savage, Kathy Cacace, Michael Buchholz, Jake Sinclair, Freja Beha Erichsen, Peggy Noland, Cory Kennedy, Isabelle McNally, Mark Hunter, Jonny Makeup, Kate McGivney, TKOmri, Josh Becker & Dhani Mau, Sarah Adler & Katelyn Roof, Taylor Kane, Hannah Haddix, Mark Bosse, George Verger, Kit Williamson, Ollie Stone, and Ryann Donnelly. And thank you to my mom for not bombing the Cleveland airport when they cancelled her flight and stranded her 500 miles away from me the day of the show.

We tried to turn the TV on that night at midnight because we knew SNL was doing this, but we missed it and had to wait til the next day to catch it online. Cannot believe somebody’s job for a day was to make a wig for Amy Poehler to imitate my boyfriend on national television. HEY TRANNY! (IT’S TRANNY.)

MGMT seems to be everyone’s new favorite band, and… well, I guess we’re no exception. It’s sort of like Klaxons-lite with all the charm of the happier moments of Lo-Fi-Fnk. And they’re cute, so. Duh.

The video for “Time to Pretend” is a gem in the age of Flash-inspired visuals: a completely ridiculous collage of ridiculous images on vectors that somehow manages to be a perfectly legitimate music video. But so far our favorite song on the album is fifth track “Kids.”

Just watch. It’s not what you think it is.

The Presets are back with just as much of the magic as ever.

The new Cobra Starship video, our favorite song on the new album, featuring a pie to the face of one attractive Mister Julian Gilbert.
