We mean Edgar Allan Poe, of course.

San Francisco rockers the Stone Foxes have a new “Tell-Tale Heart”-inspired video for their latest single “Everybody Knows,” and you can watch it exclusively here.

“The idea for the video was to bring the lyrics to life, and match the eerie mood of the music,” member Shannon Koehler says of the clip, which director David Dutton shot in one day in downtown San Francisco. “With the lyrical plot being loosely based on Edgar Allen Poe’s A Tale Tell Heart, we tried to make the movie dark, spooky, and increasingly chaotic to convey madness. The heart of the young boy is constantly spliced in to serve as the anchor of the story, and is meant to haunt the viewer through the movie like it haunts the businessman.”

Check out the murderous new Stone Foxes clip in the player below:

Santigold releases video for 'Girls'

When it comes to celebrating the exuberant women of New York City, Santigold’s giving Lena Dunham a run for her money.

The singer, whose song “Girls” is featured on the official soundtrack for HBO’s Girls, released a video for the track yesterday. It’s a giddy montage of ladies dancing and lip-syncing, interspersed with clips of Santigold and her two backup dancers going ham in what looks like a hotel bedroom.  Should offer just enough feminine pride to hold you over until next week’s episode.

Watch Free Energy get wet in new 'Girls Want Rock' video -- EXCLUSIVE

FREE-ENERGY

Philly rockers Free Energy release their second album today, and to help celebrate it, they’ve got a brand new music video.

The indie-rockers have debuted the clip for their single “Girls Want Rock,” which you can watch exclusively here. The song comes from their new Love Sign and suggests that Free Energy, which hit the scene back in 2010 with Stuck on Nothing, are still in the business of fun, cheeky rock ‘n’ roll.

The video, directed by Brook Linder, features the group running around the palm-tree-lined streets of Southern California, go-carting, and jumping into oceans, rivers, swimming pools, hot tubs, and any other water sources they come across.

Check it out below:

Ke$ha leads a band of furry pranksters in 'C'mon' video: Watch it here

Did Ke$ha just produce her generation’s “1979″ video?

No, no she didn’t, but the singer’s new clip for “C’mon” shares some of the basic DNA of that classic Smashing Pumpkins video. Directed by Darren Craig, the video finds Ke$ha jumping into a van with a gang of costumed ne’er-do-wells (and/or fetishists) who run around town causing low-grade trouble. Convenient stores are trashed, cops are disrespected, and general recklessness is achieved.

Watch Ke$ha party like it’s “1979″ in the new “C’mon” video below: READ FULL STORY »

Watch Sarah Jaffe's mesmerizing new video “Mannequin Woman” here -- EXCLUSIVE

SARAH-JAFFE

Hello, Friday! Start your TGIF vibes off right with some charmingly soulful folk-rock from Texas, courtesy of Sarah Jaffe.

The Denton-based singer has released a new video for her The Body Wins single “Mannequin Woman,” which you can watch exclusively here. The magnetically minimal clip — directed by a team consisting of Richard Krause, Toby Halbrooks, and David Lowery — features the Texas native performing her song while a strange, ghost-y essence floats in and out of her.

Jaffe, who’s been making waves out of the Lone Star State for a few years now, recently made her late-night TV debut on Kimmel, and she’ll keep the buzz alive this year when she hits up South By Southwest this spring.

But until then, you can check out what Jaffe’s got to offer in her hypnotic new video below:

Watch Wake Owl's new video 'Gold' here - EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE

Wake-Owl_510x317.jpg

Wake Owl is the nom de studio of singer-songwriter Colyn Cameron, a worldly rambler who intricately constructs hymns out of warm-strummed folk, breezy country hardware like steel guitars and violins, and his slightly psychedelic coo.

His new single “Gold” (which has also been featured on Grey’s Anatomy) comes from the forthcoming EP Wild Country, which will be available January 29 via Vagrant Records. Check out the exclusive premiere of the video for “Gold,” which deftly translates the track’s dusty swirl into visual form, below.  READ FULL STORY »

The last time David Bowie put out an album, Harry Styles was nine years old and Arrested Development had yet to be canceled. Today, One Direction are stadium headliners and AD is back, and the legendary chameleonic rocker has decided to make his return as well.

This morning, Bowie released a new single called “Where Are We Now?” and announced that the release of his new album The Next Day, will come in March.

“Where Are We Now?” is a low-key, elegiac tune, bundled with a delightfully weird music video. Check it out hereREAD FULL STORY »

One Direction get silly (and shirtless) in new 'Kiss You' video

The cheeky lads of One Direction have (mercifully) decided to put the kibosh on their “You still have to squeeze into your jeans” ballad “Little Things,” and now they’ve got a new single ready to go for the new year — “Kiss You,” the most zippy, infectious track on their sophomore release Take Me Home.

A video for the song has just hit the web, and, in keeping with the 1D brand, it’s an endearingly inane blend of upbeat silliness, terrible dancing, and awkward “Look, we’re almost naughty. But we’re not. But we are.” touchy-feely-ness. Listen, I don’t pretend to understand why hordes of girls are so enamored with the idea of the boys getting romantic with each other, but there are enough shots in the video below — like the one below — to suggest that 1D’s handlers are very aware that the appeal exists. Also, Zayn, that “ZAP!” tattoo is permanent. READ FULL STORY »

PSY's 'Gangnam Style' becomes first YouTube video to earn a billion views

psy-gangnam-style.jpg

PSY can now make the same claim McDonald’s does: Over a billion served.

That’s because PSY, that Korean Big Mac of a sensation, has seen his “Gangnam Style” video pass the one-billion mark in YouTube views, becoming the first video to ever reach that milestone. The clip, which the K-pop star posted in June, rakes in seven million views a day on average, according to Google (which owns YouTube).

For some perspective, consider the fact that PSY’s number of YouTube views — which YouTube currently clocks at 1,000,382,639 – is approximately one-seventh of the total world population. Of course, that doesn’t mean that many individual people have actually seen the video; no doubt, at least 750 million of those views come from haggard music bloggers embedding the clip countless times into posts like this one.

Still, it’s quite an achievement for the once-obscure Korean rapper. One expert told the BBC that he “reckons” PSY’s earned “something like $8 million” this year on the power of the “Gangnam Style” video alone.

Help PSY reach a trillion views by giving the clip another play with the video below:

Tim Burton, Winona Ryder team up for creepy Killers video 'Here With Me': Watch it here

Thought the Killer’s recent Christmas video “I Feel It in My Bones” was pretty weird? Leave it to Tim Burton to make things weirder.

For their “Here With Me” clip, the Las Vegas band enlisted the Frankenweenie director to helm and Winona Ryder to star — as a mannequin. Yes, it’s as dark and creepy as it sounds, but, in typical Burton fashion, it’s also kind of sweet and touching.

Get spooked out by the Killers’ “Here With Me” video below:
