Cloud Nothings music video for “No Future/No Past” is as in your face as you can ask. Director John Ryan Manning teamed up with Urban Outfitters to bring us the video, which features the same man traveling across various parts of the land. It’s quite a trip.
Catch the video below.

Arctic Monkeys have released a music video for new b-side “You & I”, which features Richard Hawley. The clip finally features all of the Monkeys, including Nick & Jamie. You get some fun in studio footage of the band recording the song with Hawley, along with some bad-ass hanging outside of the studio.
Catch the clip below. As Arctic Monkeys US properly puts it, it’s like a grown up version of the Teddy Picker video.

The Walkmen played a show at The Metro in Chicago as a part of their 10th anniversary celebration. They played a new song called “Heartbreaker” to end the show and Daniel Arthur was there to film it for us. Check out the performance below.
Santigold has a new album on the way later this spring. It’s called Master of My Make Believe. “Big Mouth” is the first track that we are getting from the album.
Big tribal percussion banging and a big dance groove that drops hard. She doesn’t hold back in anyway on “Big Mouth”. She even takes a stab at Lady GaGa, and the music video even gives us a visual aid. This song rules, plain and simple. It’s good to have Santigold (r.i.p. Santogold) back.
Download the mp3 below and catch the music video after the jump.

Rockland’s Kuhlamity chimes in on the ongoing SOPA & PIPA debate, which is something you better be well aware of. If not, read up.
Kuhlamity gives us a well mannered delivery while sharing his frustrations. He will put you at ease with witty lines like “thought my bitch was supposed to fuck me, not my central government.” It’s comical, but it also accurately captures the root of the problematic situation at hand. I respect that.
Watch/listen to “What Is Democracy?” below.
Last week I shared Alex Turner’s cover of Patsy Cline’s “Strange” that he did for Triple J’s Like A Version. Now we have a video of the performance. It’s a delight to watch first hand. Check it out below.

Lana Del Rey performed on SNL this weekend, but you already know that. For better or worse, you probably have your mind made up about the performance. But, if you did miss it and are interested in watching it, the performances are posted after the jump.
She definitely has some work to do live. It’s a big stage and all, but performers perform when they have to. I’m pretty disappointed with the performance.

Howler are releasing their debut album America Give Up next week via Rough Trade. The album is streaming over at NPR right now. I’ve really liked what I heard, and definitely recommend you guys check it out.
Here’s a music video of “Back Of Your Neck”, a song from the album.
Back in October I shared with you a band called Inspired And The Sleep. Last month they shared a new song called “Running” and I totally missed it. It’s a good song, definitely worth your time. You can catch the music video below and download the song via their bandcamp.
Miniature Tigers new funk-synth song “Female Doctor” comes to us in the form of a funny music video which takes footage from a European reality tv show. Lots of cleavage.
“Female Doctor” is on the bands new album Mia Pharaoh, out March 6 via Modern Art Records. Check out the video at Spin, and grab a mp3 of the previously released “Bommerang” which is also on the record. It sounds like a mix between The Morning Benders/Of Montreal. It’s awesome.
