Bring in the twerking girls! Mastodon commands it.
Yeah, have you ever seen a girl twerk to Mastodon? The results may surprise you as you behold their music video for “The Motherload”. It’s a devilish track that brings out the worst in all the creatures featured in the visuals.
A few days old, but it was new to me. This otaku appreciates the fan service. Pharrell knocked it out of the park in these very anime inspired visuals for “It Girl”. It probably won’t get any airtime, but the internet will love it.

You’ll never catch these two little spirits.
They are the major vibrant characters in this seriously dark music video from Flying Lotus. His collaboration with Kendrick Lamar is the soundtrack for the kid’s dancing antics and they go HAM.
Hard not to be impressed; trying to shine a bright light on a serious topic speaks levels alongside this brilliant track.

Gerard Way’s new solo venture, Hesitant Alien, is in stores now. The Guardian premiered the new music video for “Millions” this morning. It continues the visual stylings Gerard built on “No Show” with those trippy ’80s videodromes; who now are some talented weird dancers.
Unlike “No Show”, I actually like this track. Thus it gets my recommendation.
The internet world let out a collective swoon with the arrival of Ed Sheeran’s imperfectly choreographed moves within the romantic “Thinking Out Loud”. The song fits the gorgeous visuals quite perfectly, but I much rather close my eyes and think of my love over seeing Ed cut a rug..

A “Gust of Wind” blows Daft Punk’s helmets into Edgar Wright-Pharrell Williams autumn forest of color. Nymphs come to life to join Pharrell in a EDM happy dance.

Read something substantial last night in regards to Damien Rice. Found it profoundly touching about his break with former flame & collaborator Lisa Hannigan..
“I love her so much,” he told the Guardian. “And I love her so much that I love that she hasn’t spoken to me – because even in that I have learned so much over the last two years,” he said.
I don’t know. Words I took to heart quite literally. Here is the full version of Damien Rice’s “I Don’t Want To Change You” music video that has him twerking on a dock.

“Sonic Highways” premiered over the weekend on HBO and if you watched it, like I did, you know The Foo ended the episode with their lyrical music video for the lead single “Something From Nothing” that featured Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen.
My guess is that each episode will end in a similar matter. Which makes me quite excited seeing how the song now feels complete with all the Chicago backstory.
Going mainstream doesn’t make Bring Me The Horizon happy in “Drown”. Actually…it turns them into monsters! What doesn’t kill you, am I right?
Their brand new single and video for their upcoming 2015 venture is a bit tamer, but shows their depth quite beautifully as they portray a telling story of heartache.
Martin Doherty streamlines CHVRCHES’ live action-animated 6th music video from ‘The Bones Of What You Believe‘. “Under The Tide” intercuts Japanese anime visuals with stark shadow images of the band.
Happy that Lauren always shares the spotlight with her men. Makes for great collaborations.
Naw, still ain’t breezy. It’s August Alsina. He’s rapping his latest single – “Grindin'” – in a forest, by his whip, you know…going hardcore g sh*t. Like the car I see on the ride home with the words “Grindin” printed on his back windshield. He goes hard.

And the internet goes crazy. Enjoy the new steppin’ visuals for Kendrick Lamar’s “i”! He’s having a wonderful time doing something quite unexpected. Whether you like the track or not, the music video is one hell of a good time.

Praise!
We’re still dancing. This time with Theophilus London who has produced his primal visuals for “Tribe”. All I’ll say is, “Human Tree”.
I have praised Mr. London many times in our career, but if you’re not bumping VIBES in your headphones…you’re missing out one of the best hip hop albums of 2014.

One YouTube kind of hit the nail on the head with his insight. He believes this video is the prequel to “Need Your Love”. I think it’s after…meaning the two weren’t really exclusive. For both Calvin & Ellie broken relationships become destructive throughout the visuals until the two come together at the fantastical end.
One thing is for sure…Ellie’s still looking good.
You ready to run?
Tom Delong’s stellar non-Blick-182 project — Angels & Airwaves — invites you to join “The Wolfpack”. Here’s your mask, in the form of a brand new visuals. It features a compelling story with lens flare galore.

Don’t believe me, just watch…
Mark Ronson’s addictive collaboration with Bruno Mars & his gang. Just days before his SNL appearance, Bruno has steppin’ with a video that will funk you up.
Directed by Bruno Mars and Cameron Duddy
Great graphics from The Script. This video for “No Good In Goodbye” follows the out of this world tonal & color brilliance from their album cover. Sit back & enjoy a fantastic music video that puts The Script on par with Coldplay / U2.

Ready to go another round with Marshall & Sia…well, Winnie Harlow who is playing the part. The “Guts Over Fear” video is an epic story that tells a fighter’s tale as Eminem loses control. Dynamite production value from all angles.

I do dance. Poorly.But cutting a rug in an empty room is still one of my favorite pastimes. This what it looks like:
Haha. Shameless #2Chainz plug!
Should be excited. Only two more days to a four day weekend. Lee Brice’s “I Don’t Dance” is one of 2014 most romantic country tunes. Makes you rethink the loves of your historic career. Maybe?
I appreciate all the clicks, retweets, facebook posts on our Saturday Showcase. The feedback has been quite positive despite be being totally honest on the subject matter. I don’t consider it to be our Journal #10. That is being reserved for something else. #spoilers. Should *crosses fingers* be posted by Sunday. Gotta start writing my Favorite records of 2014 posts too!
Can’t believe it’s almost December. Only thing I got planned is Hockey next weekend. Might see a show this Friday. More of our 2014 Finale. Then we restart. Go out and dance a little before then. I’ll assist.
Jessie & her new hubby, Sam Burrows, are merely two of the many characters in the lovely new visuals for “You & I (Forever)”. Jessie wrote the song for Sam so it was only fitting to share cute moments in an old vintage photobooth together.
There are so much more here for a track that will be airing on various wedding playlists to come. Enjoy romantics.
