Awesome Music

While we’re digging the deconstructed vocal and musical stylings of this track, we’re most intrigued by the visuals, composed entirely out of vector illustrations on an old oscilloscope.

Uffie’s long time coming first album, Sex Dreams and Denim Jeans, includes classics like Pop the Glock as well as new ones, like this bangin’ single featuring Pharrell Williams. Ke$ha is f*cked.

While you might have heard beatbox artist Hikakin’s awesome Super Mario Bros. theme, we bet you didn’t hear his rendition of Harder Better Faster Stronger. His Kanye ain’t bad either.

The werewolves and shapeshifters of True Blood don’t got nothing on D.O. double-G, wooing Sookie Stackhouse with his hypnotic flow: ’cause if you live in Bon Temps, you need a Bon Pimp.

Directed and animated by Anthony Francisco Schepperd, this video for Blockhead‘s song The Music Scene is beyond trippy. A hundred different screenshots can’t capture the insanity of this video.

The Kube is a teeny tiny portable MP3 player that can hold up to 8,000 of your favorite tunes. Plays up to 6 hours of continuous music on one charge and recharges in an hour with included USB cable.

YouTube sensations OK Go offer up their latest pop tune, in this odd little stop-motion vid clip. While it’s not groundbreaking like some of their other clips, it still must have taken a ton of work to shoot.

Jamie Hewlett’s video for Gorillaz hits iTunes today (6/15), and not only is it a catchy tune, it’s got guns, bombs, a one-eyed octopus, a sinking ship and a sub that looks like a shark. Here’s a tease.

Sit back, chill out, and let your mind drift as you watch Yannick Puig’s beautiful, poetic animation for French recording artists Kwoon. From the looks of things, the moon is a very strange place.

Munitio’s Teknines 18k gold earphones are designed to look like the slug from a 9-mm gun, but with top-tier listening specs. This is about the closest you’d ever want a bullet to your brain.

This nifty music video for Breakbot’s Baby I’m Yours was created from a series of ~2000 handpainted watercolors by Irina Dakeva. The song is pretty awesome too.

We don’t get the whole little kids on the playground thing in this video, but we’re completely wild about the rockin’ sounds of The Black Keys, one of our favorite indie bands at this very moment.

Cool musicians (like Ian McCulloch here) are featured in La Blogotheque’s Take Away Shows, filmed playing in non-concert settings; minimal edits to keep things authentic. (Thanks Thorir!)

A veritable App Store of its own, On My Way, a music video from the Israeli band Izabo, is filled to the brim with a gazillion clever uses of iPhones and their features. (Thanks C.J.!)

This short animated film by Alex Varanese is a wonderful tribute to 8-bit video game style. Alex says he was inspired by both Michel Gondry and R-Type, and you can definitely see both influences.

Here’s how you milk your fan base: Roland recently released a limited edition mouse modeled after its famous Boss DS-1 distortion pedal. Far from ergonomic, the mouse still sold out quickly.

This Flash game by the Bell Brothers asks you to solve a variety of circular puzzles by using your mouse’s scroll wheel as the primary controller. It’s a simple concept, but downright tricky at times.

Who’d ever think of using a news program theme to create party music? That’s just what Aussie group Pendulum pulled off, turning the old ABC News Australia theme into a club banger.

Bidi-bidi-bidi beats here in this fun music video from Eclectic Method, featuring some of our favorite robots, including R2-D2 and C-3PO, Twiki, Johnny 5, WALL-E and EVE, Teddy and B9.
