Vampire Weekend - Cousins

Ella Marule — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:00:00 EST

Indie rockers Vampire Weekend are back with the first video from their sophomore album, Contra. Bandmembers, primarily frontman Ezra Koenig, ride on a track up and down an alley while performing the new single, with a little "weird" thrown into the mix. Cousins isn't a departure for the band, but with their unique, lovable sound, that would be pretty hard to accomplish.

Hip hop indie duo N.A.S.A. keep rolling out the hits, bringing on guest artist after guest artist. This time up, it's Tom Waits and Kool Keith delivering Spacious Thoughts. As expected Waits' voice melds into dub tracks well, as he continues to apply his decades of experience.

Charlotte Gainsbourg ft. Beck - Heaven Can Wait

Surreal, absurd, and just plain off-the-wall, Charlotte Gainsbourg's Heaven Can Wait is a visual banquet. There's so much going on that it's hard to take in with just one viewing, which is fine because it's worth watching twice. Beck's involvement in this is fitting, since he's a veteran at weird for weird's sake.

Chris Brown - Crawl

The same day Rihanna's Russian Roulette premieres on 20/20, Chris Brown's new single Crawl premieres on The Wendy Williams Show. OUCH. Court of public opinion aside, Crawl features a lovelorn Brown lamenting a broken relationship with model/singer Cassie, with an overall hopeful ending. Whether this is an apology or not, it's clear he's trying to remind us of his softer side.

Pre-Gaga footage of Stefani Germanotta continues to leak out into the public, such as this performance at NYU's annual talent show Ultraviolet in 2005. Now you have footage to point the haters to that will solve about 50% of their problem!
