Broken Bells | October [3D-Video]

// August 12th, 2010 // No Comments » // Video

*Insert Sarcasm* This has to be a great day in videos. First we got M.I.A.’s, Illy Video [here], now we have Broken Bells’, October. The video is supposedly in 3D and it allows you to navigate through game-boys, tape recorders and asteroids (wish I could make this up). *Exit Sarcasm* As much as we are joking, we gotta give it to them having the option to move you mouse around in something that looks like Windows Media Player visualization mode. Great track nonetheless

The Ghost Inside is out now.

M.I.A. | Illy Girl [Video]

// August 12th, 2010 // No Comments » // Video

Honestly, I didn’t think M.I.A. could make a video worst than XXXO[here]….boy was I wrong. Come to think of it, I think she made Illy Girl so we can like XXXO more. Kinda smart. Anyway, enjoy the video for Illy Girl above. Due to me being susceptible to seizures I could only make it :30 seconds in.

M.I.A| “XXXO” [Video]

While Maya Arulpragasam (M.I.A.) latest album is a hit or miss with most fans, her latest single and video “XXXO” is a standout track from the Lp. Enjoy the brilliant visuals above, I’m sure London D will approve. “Maya” is in stores now.

M.I.A. | XXXO [Remix feat Jay - Z]

// June 11th, 2010 // No Comments » // Listening Section

Does Jay – Z know how to pick them? He always seems to jump on a track and make it that much better. While a lot of people weren’t feeling M.I.A. track, XXXO before Hova got on the remix, we are sorry, but get ready to hear this blasting from every club and block party this summer.
