Metric Lend Score to a Christopher Mills Short Film

Scoring short films with your songs is totally going to replace the music video. It’s not like music videos make it onto television anymore anyway.

Regardless, Metric have provided their track “Collect Call” from Fantasies as the score for the Christopher Mills short film of the same name. The film is a lot like the song actually — there seems to be a lot going on throughout, but at the end it’s difficult to find something memorable to take out of it. The film’s style is definitley unique, and features 2D pallbearers and the constellation version of Emily Haines.

Major Lazer’s New Video Is Amazing

null

Major Lazer is kind of different. Maybe the second or third most popular cartoon musician on the planet (Gorrilaz and Dethklok being the other two), he makes even other cartoon seem normal by comparison.

According to Mad Decent, Lazer’s record label, Lazer is a Jamaican commando who fought in the “secret Zombie War of 1984” and lost both arms in combat.

His newest video only gets cooler and way weirder. Born from the song “Perculator” by the artist Cajmere, the remixed version is called “Percumajor.”

Along with a thumping beat and awesome effects, the video shows you all sorts of awesome stuff animated in a very distinct way.

The video has…(in no particular order) dinosaurs getting shot with lasers, a dog in a suit, one of those furry things from Gremlins (and an actual Gremlin). If any (or all…probably all) of those things sound awesome, you can watch the video right here!
