Can We Please STOP Singling Out “We Can’t Stop”?
Hi cultural critics! Boy, I know this might not be news to you, but I just have to say it again: you know who is lame lame lame? That Miley Cyrus character and her new song, “We Can’t Stop.” Ugh.

Video: “You & Me” – Disclosure
Disclosure just released the video for their latest single “You & Me” (feat. Eliza Doolittle) and EVERYONE NEEDS TO WATCH.

Music Video: YACHT "I Walked Alone"
The new YACHT seems to at first to be a mere epileptic fit, but it quickly evolves into something much more. The video is supposed to convey a sense of community, and for that there are many circular camera pans that create a sense of gathering around a central figure–YACHT’s newest song.
