M83's "Reunion" video is kind of creepy

2012-05-31T11:03:00.000-04:00

Okay, first off M83's "Reunion" is a great song.. Hands down. The video is amazing as well--it's probably one of the most artistic pieces of storytelling we've seen in a music video all year. That being said, there's just something creepy about kids with other worldy powers and glowing eyes. Creepy. Check it out above.

Lisa Marie Presley plans first tour in five years

2012-05-30T11:13:00.000-04:00

As Elvis's only child Lisa Marie Presley could easily be considered the heir to the throne of rock and roll. However, she has been quite absent from the kingdom over the past five years with no touring in that time. That's about to change this June. She'll be hitting the road for some shows starting right here in New York City with a performance at Gramercy theatre on June 14. The full list of tour dates is posted after the jump.

Kylie Minogue sets off a "Timebomb"

2012-05-29T14:18:00.000-04:00

It's hard to believe Kylie Minogue has been making music for 25 years. She's celebrating the anniversary this year by pulling out all sorts of surprises. "Timebomb" is a single that came out of nowhere. You can download it on iTunes and elsewhere, and check out the video above.

Races sprint out on summer tour

2012-05-29T11:12:00.001-04:00

There's probably a big benefit to being signed to a label like Frenchkiss Records, and Races will hopefully continue to reap the rewards. The band's debut Year of the Witch is out now--they're hard at work on the follow-up as well. However, in the meantime they'll be heading out on to the road for a series of shows.

Jessica Hoop's stop motion

2012-05-22T15:13:00.000-04:00

If we're not mistaken, Jessica Hoop managed this cool effect in her video with a stop-motion effect--Frame-by-frame movement. It always looks awesome, and "Born To" is certainly no exception. Check it out above.

Soso come in summer

2012-05-22T12:01:00.000-04:00

Soso's new video for "I Never Thought You'd Come In Summer" is something else. I mean, come on, there are a few (nearly) naked men dancing in it with some reverse filter effects. Don't worry, that's not the whole video (though that would make for a great video--some indie band need to get on that).
