So, in the new Fiona Apple video “Every Single Night,” we’ve got our heroine being stalked by a giant snail, in bed next to a man with a white undershirt, boxers and an animal head, random shots of what appears to be a human brain, and so many quick cuts you might get whiplash. So far, so Fiona. Ms. Apple has always been as intriguing a visual artist as she has been a musician, and this clip-although it may be […]

The Viewfinder: Q. Parker’s “Show You How”
A few weeks back, we posted a Singles Bar column on “Show You How,” the debut single from 112’s Q Parker, and made note of the fact that it was a solid R&B track, the type you would’ve taken for granted in the Nineties but now seems fresh again. Well, Q has now released the visual for the song, and it’s a well-crafted clip. It stays true to the lyrics (Q is the guy who steps in with love and […]
The Viewfinder: Mayer Hawthorne’s “Henny & Gingerale”
Looking on the back of your CD copy of Mayer Hawthorne’s How Do You Do? and wondering where the hell the song “Henny & Gingerale” is? Well, guess what? It’s not on it! “Henny” is a bonus cut available on the digital version only, and the Detroit-based soul singer has just shot a video for the uptempo cut. There ain’t much to it, really. Mayer is in his geek-chic glory, presiding over a house party full of attractive young ladies. […]
The Viewfinder: A Bunch of Kids Re-Enact the Beastie Boys “Sabotage” Video
Trust me, you need this in your day. In tribute to the late Adam Yauch, a filmmaker by the name of James Winters got his kids and nephew to re-enact the Beastie Boys’ classic 1994 video “Sabotage.” Complete with fake mustaches, even worse wigs than the Beasties wore in the original video, and some pretty decent effects, this will be the best 4-minute rabbit hole you’ll fall down all week.
The Viewfinder: Nelly Furtado’s “Big Hoops (Bigger The Better)”
Come on. Y’all act like you’ve never seen a person on stilts before! Lyrically, the video for “Big Hoops (Bigger The Better)” the new single from Nelly Furtado’s forthcoming The Spirit Indestructible, references a passel of ’90s pop culture reference. Visually, there’s not much in relation to the song, but the video is still pretty hard to turn away from. It strikes a decent midpoint between Nelly’s hippy-dippy early work and her flossy recent work, and it’s kinda cool to […]
The Viewfinder: PT Walkley’s “The Way That You Are”
Sometimes a song and a video just makes you smile. I’d been procrastinating on covering singer/songwriter PT Walkley, whose album Thriller (yeah) came out about two months ago. However, in the midst of doing some research, I came across his video for “The Way That You Are,” and I had to post it. The song has a springlike, etheral vibe, and the video is pure silliness. Goofy grins, vaguely creepy “O” face-type expressions, and showers of everything from silly spring […]
The Viewfinder: Kanye West’s “Lost In The World”
Kanye’s “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” spins off yet another video. Check out the clip for “Lost In The World.”
The Viewfinder: Rihanna’s “Where Have You Been?”

The Viewfinder: The Fades’ “Joy”
In the build up for the upcoming Ragnarok full-length, The Fades have revealed their next single as “Joy”. The undisputed winner of The Fades recent “vote for our next single” poll that ran earlier, “Joy” is quite the departure from hypnotic former single “Meccano”. With lots of pop sheen, “Joy” is much more in your face in a less abrasive way and is oddly reminiscent of The Clash making the upcoming Ragnarok all the more interesting in terms of diversity. […]
