Some artists shy away from what could be considered controversial content in their music videos. The Glass gleefully dive in to questionable content headfirst, showing the (very negative) effects of drug use on their video for the song “Four Four Letter” in stark black and white contrast.
The song is off of the band’s latest At Swim Two Birds, which is out via Plant Music. You can also hear the Black Van remix of the song “Four Four Letter” right here.
Fresh off of his newest album Age Of Adz, Sufjan Stevens has just released his the first music video.
Featuring the song “Too Much” the video features some out-of-this-world dancing mixed with extremely trippy effects throughout. There’s not a lot to ponder here, just a lot of dance moves and crazy video tricks. And isn’t that what we all really want anyways? Enjoy!

UK’s favorite rockers, The Wombats have been diligently hammering out their sophomore full-length under the tutelage of famed producer Eric Valentine (Queens of the Stone Age, All-American Rejects) for a couple years now.
Now the first single, “TOKYO (Vampires & Wolves)” is ready to be heard. Featuring an intensely dance-centric beat and flavorful synths, the song showcases the Wombats’ evolution musically. Check out the music video below, in which the band engages in gruesome rock-star behavior, sugarcoated with drugs and booze.
Look for the Wombats’ new album early in 2011, with a tour announcement sure to follow.

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!
