Explosions, abominable snowmen, skulls, flying-v guitars used as weapons, shredding jams in a snowstorm-- this is my kind of video. (via Brooklyn Vegan)

New Music: Ghostface Killah [ft. Novel]: "Message From Ghost" [MP3]

Mark Richardson — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 12:10:00 -0400

Ghostface Killah releases a low-key and straight-up track in support of Rihanna (but really, for all his ladies), urging her to stay strong and "protect ya neck." A few lines miss but it sounds like his heart is in the right place. (Nah Right, via Idolator)

MP3:> Ghostface Killah: "Message From Ghost"

Pitchfork.tv: William Fitzsimmons: "If You Would Come Back Home" [Video Premiere]

Tyler Grisham — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 15:30:00 -0400

In this Josh Franer-directed clip for William Fitzsimmons' "If You Would Come Back Home", the troubadour gets strung-out in a dilapidated house. Maybe if he didn't spend so much time in dilapidated houses, he wouldn't be so down. Just a thought.

Mark Richardson — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 10:15:00 -0400

U2 got a little crazy on Letterman last night, which means that they won't go crazy (that makes no sense). The song with the goofy title is from No Line on the Horizon.
