Lady Gaga feat Sesame Street: "Telephone" Video

Today is a bit of a slow day. Along comes this perk-me-up of a video, marrying Gaga's "Telephone" with some Sesame Street characters like the Yip Yips and Grover. Weird but absolutely fun to watch [via Buzzfeed].

Two Door Cinema Club: "Something Good Can Work" Video

The video for Two Door Cinema Club's single "Something Good Can Work" debuted earlier today. I love the Irish boys for putting out such a charming and unforgettable pop tune that keeps on playing over and over in my head. Yeah, it is really addictive. Definitely makes the cut for the perfect summer soundtrack.

Laura Marling: "Rambling Man" Video

It comes as no surprise that Laura Marling's second album, I Speak Because I Can, has been roundly applauded by pundits and casual listeners alike since it was released a few days ago. A precocious talent at 20, her new album has been heralded as her coming-of-age record, with songs that feature more mature lyrics and portray a darker, more sophisticated side. As a fan of her debut record, I Speak was, honestly speaking, slow burner for me. But I love it now.

Laura Marling debuts her "Rambling Man" video this week. As a bonus, I have a live recording of "Rambling Man" from Laura Marling's gig at the Royal Festival Hall for your listening pleasure. My heartfelt gratitude to the original uploader.

She & Him: "In The Sun" Video

Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward return on March 23 with their follow up album, the aptly titled Volume Two. "In The Sun", which is the first single off the album, is so delightfully twee and cute and reminds me of 500 Days of Summer (great movie, by the way). I hope the rest of the record will be as sugary-sweet as this song.

Lady Gaga ft. Beyoncé: "Telephone" Video

Lady Gaga has outdone herself yet again! "Telephone", which just premiered yesterday, is a provocative and wickedly insane 9½ minute long spectacle starring Gaga and a very diva-licious Beyoncé. Bordering on campy, the video features blatant product placement (Virgin Mobile, Chanel and Polaroid just to name a few) and the Pussy Wagon from Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill. Truly epic.
