Cults are back with another music video, this time for my second favorite track off their debut LP — “You Know What I Mean”. The video is directed by Isaiah Seret (also directed the video for “Go Outside”) and stars couple bandmates Madeline Follin and Brian Oblivion and was debuted earlier this week, thanks to the good people at NPR’s All Songs Considered.
Disclaimer: This video may cause seizures…but it is awesome. This was one of the most expensive concert tickets of last year, but looked worth every penny.

What happens when you combine the vocal stylings of Lana Del Rey and the Hunger Games? One of the best parodies I’ve seen in awhile.
This was all made possible by the very talented Chicago writer, actor and improviser, Holly Laurent. Laurent’s channels Lana Del Rey flawlessly. Heck, if I didn’t know better, I could easily mistake this for a legitimate Del Rey track. Granted, if you know nothing of the Hunger Games, you may not enjoy this video as much, but it’s hard not to laugh at lines like “they drew the name of my sis, but don’t you fuck with Katniss, i’ll kill you fo’ sho’.”
But you don’t have to take my word for it, check out the video and decide for yourself.
And if you feel like comparing it to the original, “Video Games”
I’m a strong believer that puppets make anything better. Don’t believe me? Check out the video below for The Spring Standards’ oh-so-good track, “Queen of the Lot”, and I dare you to disagree.
The Spring Standards’ 2012 album release is coming soon! Stay tuned.

Noted as one of several forthcoming cinematic offerings from Danger Mouse and Daniele Luppi’s Rome project, which will comprise a theatrical live-action project, the heralded collaborative single with Jack White now gets the visual treatment. The video for “Two Against One” welcomes an animated cut, actually done rather well, might we add. Expect to see more aesthetic offerings from the album in the near future. The video is part of an interactive project by acclaimed music video director Chris Milk and animator/co-director Anthony Francisco Schepperd. Check the link for more. Enjoy
