No MGMT nor Ratatat.  Instead the video features Drake, who parties with Kid Cudi.
Yes, the concept of the video partying, drinking and getting wasted.

Check out Kid Cudi ft MGMT & Ratatat – Pursuit of Happiness video below:

OMG. Kind of shocking.
No children were harmed in the making of this Ray Tintori directed video.

Spaceman is such a great pop song and here´s the new, quite excellent video. Brandon Flowers wears a red bodysuit with feathers looking sci-fi avantgarde. The Spaceman video is directed by 24-year old Ray Tintori whose visions of psychedelic other wordly landscapes we have seen in MGMT´s Time To Pretend and Electric Feel videos.

Well, it´s rather a rework of Time To Pretend. Diplo takes the riff and plays around with it. The result is a totally new piece, quite different and artsy.

Listen to MGMT – Time To Pretend (Diplo Remix) below:

It´s the time that everyone lists their favorite singles and albums of the year. MGMT and Santogold are high on the lists and I agree, L.E.S. Artistes is probably the best song of 2008 and Time To Pretend also reflects the year very well. But the list that I noticed the most is Slant Magazine´s best singles of the year. Slant puts two of my favorite artists, M.I.A. and Madonna, on top.

1. M.I.A. – Paper Planes
A song about immigration whose sound draws a provocative link between violence and capitalism, “Paper Planes” was the bomb way before that conundrum known as M.I.A. licensed it to Sony and Fox and Billboard and Grammy dutifully responded. This ubiquitous anthem is the singer’s least murky provocation to date, an ironic address of terrorism as a matter of moral and political judgment, but feel no guilt for stomping along to its driving beats. That’s just M.I.A.’s way of pulling up the people to her cause. Also, you know Noam Chomsky’s got it on his iPod.  (Slant / Ed Gonzalez)

2. Madonna – Beat Goes On
No amount of fake scandal and misbehavior (A-Rod! McCain=Hitler!) can make up for the fact that Madonna’s bid for hip-hop relevance flopped. So it’s fitting that Hard Candy’s best song, “Beat Goes On” (a Pharrell-derived, note-perfect hybrid of “Ring My Bell” disco and darkwave tech-hop that also features Kanye West’s best rap of the year), hasn’t even been officially released as a single yet despite garnering substantial airplay on the nation’s biggest dance station. Three cheers for the counterintuitive!  ( Slant / Dave Hughes)
Beat Goes On is so uplifting, it´s one of those songs that makes you believe everything is possible. Listen to Madonna – Beat Goes On below:
