“I’m looking for something that’ll… break through. You know?” James Woods’ Max Renn yearns in David Cronenberg’s 1983 cult classic Videodrome. Oh, how things have changed. In today’s day and age, we’ve already drowned in media. It’s swallowed us. We’re nothing but a bubble amidst one infinite, engulfing abyss. Intimidated? You should be. With each passing second, you’re losing opportunities to take advantage of a culture that’s moving ahead and at an exhausting rate. You could very well be alone… left behind… abandoned. Terrified yet? Yes? Well, that’s more like it.

Ceremony – “Adult”
Judging from this 1950’s-inspired video, it’s probably safe to say the dudes from Ceremony are pretty excited for the return of Mad Men this weekend.
The Cribs – “Come On, Be a No-One”
Probably the most interesting thing about this new clip from UK punk-poppers The Cribs is frontman Ryan Jarman’s haircut. It’s not often that someone walks into a barbershop and says, “Give me the Johnny Ramone circa 1977.”
Earl Sweatshirt’s Live Debut
Just when we think we might be growing tired of Odd Future’s antics, they give us another reason to pay attention again. At long last, the collective welcomed back their (arguably) most talented member, Earl Sweatshirt. Watching Tyler & Co. so genuinely happy to have their friend back is almost enough to get you all choked up – that is until you realize the name of the song they’re performing is charmingly titled “AssMilk”.
