Head out on a cross-country drive with John Mayer in his latest video–for the new song “Shadow Days.”

The Viewfinder: R. Kelly’s “Share My Love”
I’m slowly inching closer to enjoying R. Kelly’s music again without all the psychodrama that surrounds it. A big reason for that is the fact that the music has actually been good. His last album, the Grammy nominated Love Letter, was the R’s best work in a good fifteen years. Not coincidentally, it was the most pure R&B record he’d made since then. Nice to know that, in his forties, Kelly has sort of dropped the R&B-thug persona and is […]
The Viewfinder: Kid Is Qual “Conflict Girl”
Are you dying for new Kid Is Qual material, too? Then “Conflict Girl” is sure to whet your appetite for the upcoming Ladies Choice EP. “Conflict Girl” is everything fans have come to love and respect from Kid Is Qual times eleven. Synthed up, fuzzed out electro rock at its finest in a neat two and a half minute package is what “Conflict Girl” is all about. If you ever wondered what a movie mash-up of Million Dollar Baby, Girlfight, and Fight Club […]
The Viewfinder: Van Halen’s “She’s The Woman”
As Van Halen’s tour continues to criss-cross the country to mixed reviews , the guys are also still plugging away at singles from their comeback album, A Different Kind of Truth . “She’s The Woman” sounds like classic-era Van Halen (actually, it’s way better than I figured it has any right to be,) but the video…ooh, the video. Did the guys just make this clip out of obligation under the assumption that it wasn’t gonna get shown anywhere anyway? I mean, performance videos are a hallmark of hard […]
The Viewfinder: Drake’s “Take Care” (feat. Rihanna)
You’ve got to admit: Drake & Rihanna have quite a bit of chemistry together. The video for “Take Care,” the title track of Drake’s second album, tries a bit too hard to be artsy-fartsy, what with the weird animals and stuff-but the truly engrossing visuals come from watching Rih-Rih and Drizzy interact. The song is also pretty dope-although I’m gonna have to keep referring you back to the Jamie XX/Gil Scott-Heron collaboration album We’re New Here, which contains the song […]
The Viewfinder: Arctic Monkeys’ “R U Mine?”
To quote my wife: “If this is what happens after extended exposure to Josh Homme, I approve.” I think she’s talking more about Alex Turner’s new look than the song but I agree nonetheless. At this point, the Padawan Learner is soon going to exceed his Jedi Master in all things rawk and “R U Mine?” is the proof. My problem with Arctic Monkeys is that their recorded output is uneven for such an amazing band. Their last album, Suck […]
The Viewfinder: Tenacious D “To Be The Best”
music / New Releases / pop culture / Pop Music / Release Dates / rock music / The Viewfinder / Videos
I am probably one of the only people who considers The Pick Of Destiny one of the greatest movies ever made (Yep for the soundtrack too) so it’s no surprise that I am jumping for joy at the announcement of a new album and video from The D. To be fair, “To Be The Best” is more of an album teaser than an actual single but that’s okay because Jack Black and Kyle Gass never fail to entertain (Again, I […]
The Viewfinder: Hank & Cupcakes’ “Liquid Mercury”
David Lynch meets Talking Heads in the video for Hank & Cupcakes ‘ “Liquid Mercury” off their upcoming full-length. If you haven’t heard of this multicultural duo yet, you’re missing something big. The song is catchy and so densely layered with awesomeness that you’ll need at least ten listens to take it all in. The video also has so many things going on that it demands repeat viewing. The sounds that these two make are just magical. Cupcakes is a simply entrancing performer […]
The Viewfinder: Demon Hunter’s “My Destiny”
Demon Hunter is not reinventing the wheel by any means when it comes to their brand of Christian metal but there is one thing that sets them apart from most: viciousness. “My Destiny” off the upcoming True Defiance (Out on April 10th through Solid State) is one heaping pile of viciousness from the moment the buzzsaw riffage opens the song along with the metronome precise drumming. Add vocalist Ryan Clark screaming like never before and you have one great metal […]
The Viewfinder: Karyn White’s “Sista Sista”
She’s back! Karyn White has a video out for her new single, “Sista Sista.”
The Viewfinder: IAMDYNAMITE “Stereo”
I am pretty sure that duos are the new quartets in modern rock music. If that is untrue then nobody told IAMDYNAMITE who rock harder than most and have the most fitting name considering their music is downright incendiary. On “Stereo”, IAMDYNAMITE deliver a hard rocking three and a half minutes of foot stomping, hand clapping furiousness (Pretty sure this isn’t a word). The video for “Stereo” is liable to give you seizures not because it’s strobe filled and flashy […]
