5 Things That Rock Harder Than ‘The Rocker’

Ayo! Scott only knows one way to rock out: with his cock out. His exposed member (ladies, all together now: AYO!) got harder than Rick Allen’s severed arm when he saw that Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute from The Office) was playing a wild drummer from an ’80s hair band in The Rocker. Then Ayo! saw the movie and put his penis back in his pants…

Gutter Twins Destroy All With Idle Hands

What do you do when you’re an aging, over-40 alt-rocker, but you still want to make a music video that the children will respond to? Hire a bunch of kids to blow shit up and film it!

In their new video for “Idle Hands,” the Gutter Twins follow this formula for success. If you don’t know the GTs, it’s a group consisting of Greg Dulli (lead singer of seminal late ’80s indie rock group Afghan Whigs) and Mark Lanegan (lead singer of early ’90s Seattle grunge staple Screaming Trees) who released their debut Saturnalia in March on Sub Pop. Watch “Idle Hands,” their explosive second video, after the jump.

Ratatat Hunts A Predator In “Mirando”

Brooklyn’s indie-electro duo has crazy visions. Like any good dance music artist with a taste for trippy imagery, Ratatat thinks outside the box for the “Mirando” video, the latest from their highly-anticipated third album LP3. They match the track up with scenes cut from Arnold Schwarzenegger’s classic 1987 action flick Predator. We hope this means we’ll be seeing more jungle scenes and infrared cameras from Ratatat in the future. Watch the full video below.

Beck & Danger Mouse Team Up On “Chemtrails”

From MF Doom to Cee-Lo, Danger Mouse has worked with some of the best. But if there’s one artist we would have paired him to do an album with, it’s the always unpredictable Beck.

The singer/songwriter has spent his 14 year career weaving in and out of different genres, and Danger Mouse has been experimenting with a similiar brew of rock, hip-hop, and electronica since coming on the scene in 2003. The two have been hard at work on Beck’s 8th studio album, Modern Guilt, which is due in stores this fall. After the jump, listen to “Chemtrails,” the first taste that leaked yesterday.

The Ting Tings Get That iPod Money

Looks like the next “it” band to blow up from an Apple advertisement could be The Ting Tings. Although the British pair have never gotten a major commercial look, lead singer Katie White and instrumentalist Jules De Martino could very well become the new Feist, who blew the fuck up last year when “1,2,3,4″ was featured in a Nano commercial.

In addition to the Apple co-sign, the Ting Tings’ new single “Shut Up and Let Me Go” will appear on their debut album, We Started Nothing (due out May 19). After the jump, watch the commercial and a video of the duo performing the song live in LA.
