CHEMICAL BROTHERS: Escape Velocity

DJ Jess — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 21:06:52 +0000

Drop a couple hits of E, grab your glowsticks, a whistle, a blowpop, and get ready for the rave. The new video for “Escape Velocity”, from the recently dropped album Further by Chemical Brothers, is an SVA film student’s wet-dream of flashing lights, psychedelic trickery, and a DIY aesthetic any auteur on a budget would love. Turn off the lights, turn the volume up, way up, let your mind go, and your body will follow. Download Escape Velocity

GOLDFRAPP: Alive

DJ Jess — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 16:33:05 +0000

The new video for Goldfrapp’s “Alive” features 1980′s aerobic vampires, goth modern dancers, and takes place in a disco straight out of 1978 a la Dee D. Jackson’s “Automatic Lover”. In other words, it’s brilliant. Check out the video below and follow this link to download Alive!

And for shits and giggles:

MARINA & THE DIAMONDS: Oh No!

DJ Jess — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 22:49:09 +0000

Never been one for starfucking or for romanticized celebrity crushes (except Morrissey, of course) but Marina of Marina & the Diamonds is the full package: deep eyes, full lips, witty lyrics, classic pop hooks, and a voice that stops you in your tracks and brings your jaw to the floor. If you haven’t picked up her album The Family Jewels, grab it now, or click here to download Oh No!. Check out her adorable video for it below!

CRYSTAL CASTLES: Celestica

DJ Jess — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 19:41:00 +0000

The unassuming but ultimately chilling and sexy new video for “Celestica” by Crystal Castles. Definitely living for the pale skin, ruby lips, heavy grease paint around bright glass eyes, and beautiful, near whisper vocals. Follow the link to download Celestica.

ROBYN: Dancing on My Own

DJ Jess — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 21:01:43 +0000

Robyn’s new record Body Talk is quietly becoming my favorite record so far of 2010. Seemingly flippant and forgettable at first, it’s hooks and lyrics secretly latch onto the sentimental parts of you, while lightly begging you to join her on the dance floor. Now I’ve got the record on repeat and can’t get enough. Check out the video (and the gorgeous pompadour!) for “Dancing on My Own” below, and follow the link the download Dancing On My Own (Rex The Dog Remix Edit)!

FREE ENERGY: Bang Pop

DJ Jess — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 00:01:20 +0000

Here’s some 30 year olds hanging out in high school and flirting with 17 year olds. Catchy tune, though. A “Rock n’ Roll High School” for the class of 2010! Follow this link to download Bang Pop by Free Energy!

CHRISTINA AGUILERA: Not Myself Tonight

DJ Jess — Wed, 05 May 2010 20:57:13 +0000

There are so many amazing and outrageous looks in this video, we don’t even know where to begin. The song may be slight, but the disarming and stunning combination of fetish, glamour, sex, and naked men in the rain, makes for an unforgettable and welcome video. Click here to download Not Myself Tonight (clean).

M.I.A.: Born Free

DJ Jess — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 01:00:56 +0000

The outrageous, political, and instantly controversial video for M.I.A.’s “Born Free”. Using the red headed youths as a metaphor for social and racial profiling, not to mention any number of current or personal tragedies that she could choose to be commenting on, makes for a riveting and provoking video.

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM – Drunk Girls

DJ Jess — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 23:00:32 +0000

The new LCD Soundsystem single is even more fun than the opening singles from their last two records, if that’s possible. It has a joyous, Devo-esque flair to it, but don’t take my word for it. Watch the video below, and download the track here!
