Cut Copy

Cut Copy from Melbourne, Australia is a little bit indie and a whole lotta dance. The band began in 2001 as the project of Dan Whitford and has since toured with Franz Ferdinand, Junior Senior, and Bloc Party. Their new album In Ghost Colours will be released in March in Australia (when in US?). Til then we suggest you watch their new video.

New Music Videos

We've got some new music videos from some of our favorite artists:

Fashion Trends

A couple of trends that we can't wait to get our hands on:

Onsies: these cute little shorts can spark up anyone's outfit. We like these ones from Urban. Just make sure you buy the right size, no camel-toes here!

Floral: Mix and match these crazy floral patterns for a look that's

bold and feminine. Of course the prettiest are found at Antrophologie.

Bright Tights: The perfect way to tie up the outfit. Buy a pair of tights in bright colors like mustard, poppy, and sky blue. Check out the ones at American Apparel. They come in a variety of colors and are super-durable.

Crazy Australian Teens

A kid in Melbourne, Australia decides to throw a party while his parents are out of town, then gets fined $20,000 by the police. Funnier than the outfit he chooses to wear on a news report, is the news caster getting increasingly impatient with him. We want to fly to Australia so he can throw us a party.

NYLON TV: Converse

We feel extremely connected to this video from NYLON TV because quite often we have had to go through the same struggle to get our converses perfect... poor us.

Knife

You know your song is really popular when everyone starts remixing it and all the remixes are amazing! Grizzly Bear is a band from Brooklyn consisting of Daniel Rossen (songwriting/guitar), Ed Droste (songwriting/guitar), Chris Taylor (clarinet/production) and Christopher Bear (drums). Their song Knife was released on the album Yellow House in 2006.

Girl Talk's remix is a little more hip hop:

The Born Ruffian's remix is a little more pop:

But of course, we always like the originial:

Rip Off

What's not to love about Urban Outfitters? They're fun, cheap, and the clothes are cool. Well, we were upset to hear that all of these reasons can be attributed to the artists Urban and other stores like Hot Topic rip off. At http://youthoughtwewouldntnotice.com/ artists post their work and pictures and stories of the ripoffs.

Also, check out http://urbncounterfeiters.blogspot.com/ which is mostly about Urban Outfitters and think twice about buying that Urban Outfitters shirt.

MGMT

Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden make up the band MGMT. They started at Wesleyan University and have toured with Of Montreal. Nylon Mag writes: "It wasn't all work—"we had a great time taking LSD in Los Angeles although we didn't talk to any celebrities or end up swimming at a mansion"—but, in the end, the time was certainly productive: Columbia scooped the boys from Cantora (an independent label that NYU students, early MGMT fans, formed to release the band's 2005 EP Time To Pretend) and signed them to a six-figure, four-album deal. The result: Oracular Spectacular, their sure-to-be-a-hit debut out now on iTunes and in stores January 22 from Flaming Lips' producer Dave Fridmann." They have an interactive music video for their song Electric Feel. Watch a screen capture of it now:

Be Kind Rewind

We can't wait to see Be Kind Rewind, the newest film from Director Michel Gondry coming out January 25th. Jerry (Jack Black) becomes magnatized and erases all the movies in his friend Mike's (Mos Def) video store. In order to save the video store the two recreate all the films, including the Lion King, Ghostbusters, Driving Miss Daisy, and Rush Hour, and become celebrities in their home town. We can count on Mr Gondry to make it so much more than another Jack Black movie (Nacho Libre?), check out the trailer to see for yourself:
