The new video for Expensive Looks “Vanishers”, from the debut record Dark Matters (Out now via Group Tightener) is full of life advice. If you're parents are fighting, no big deal, just grab your furry panda companion and go have a night on the town, and, then everything will be all good... How can you argue with that? Giacomo Francia directs, and does an incredible job. The track starts out slow before morphing into a utter head banger fit for any party occasion... Watch...

Dotropolis is 1/2 of Chicago, IL based Hip Hop duo R.J. and Technique. Upon first listen to the track "Baboon Face" I couldn't quite decide how I felt about it, but something kept me listening, and by the end of the track I was ready to throw it on repeat. The track was graced with production by L.A.'s own Flying Lotus and fits quite well paired with Dotropolis' unique flow. "I'm not a star, somebody lied, I got a chopper in the car but it's for the zombie invasion..." Watch and Listen...

"Ladies and gentleman, get ready to flip, flop, and fly!" Not quite sure what exactly is going on in this new Guards music video for the track "Do It Again" but according to the sleeveless hesher at the end of the video, I just experienced the "Get down, to boogy town" which, I guess is completely true. Whatever I just witnessed, I wish I had gotten down to boogy town in time, because boogy town looks really fun... Watch...

Well it's good to see that surf rock is still alive and well, even if it's coming from Denver, CO. SAUNA's 4 song "Teen Angst Tape" is making me wish for summer. Like, summer in Santa Monica in 1982 on the beach with cool shades and a 'Maui' button up tee, a dripping snow cone and a cute girl... Thanks allot guys, it's winter... Well, I can always dream I guess... Listen to "Teen Angst Tape"...
Admittedly, I am not a huge Sufijan Stevens fan... Although, I am a big Sister Crayon fan.

The track is off Sister Crayon's recently released covers album "Disquiet" (Available for free download here) and now has accompanying visuals by Saint Genius. Watch...
