Taylor Swift's shocked! Again! As seen in the Hollywood Reporter
Sunday was a good day for Taylor Swift. A glowing profile by 60 Minutes' Leslie Stahl, followed by her cleaning up at the American Music Awards; she took home the awards for Favorite Country Female Artist, Artist of The Year, Favorite Country Female Artist, and Speak Now won Favorite Country Album. This, of course, follows a career that's been as consistently incredible as anyone's in music. So is Taylor used to, blase or even jaded about the success? OH, HELL NO.

​A while back, we ran a feature detailing the ins and outs of Innerstate Ike's rise as celebrated MC in the hip-hop scene. In that piece, Ike gave great detail to the night when he was shot, leaving the MC paralyzed and his best friend, Colfax Cac, dead. In homage to the slain rapper's influence on the anniversary of his passing, a touching tribute video has been making the rounds.

New Hollagramz video for "Galactic Leash" hopes to psych you out

​If there is one thing we've come to expect from Denver's music videos recently, it's that they seriously enjoy freaking us out. It's like they're all specially created to make us start audio-visually tripping. Case in point, David Dohrmann's new video for the Hollagramz track, "Galactic Leash," which looks like something you'd be shown in a hippie biology class.

New Pictureplane video for "Negative Slave" is bonkers for UFOs, pyramids and crystals

​We've grown to expect offbeat videos from Pictureplane over the years, but the just-released video for "Negative Slave" officially takes the cake as one of the most subtle yet oddly unsettling videos in his repertoire. While it's full of insidious and easy-to-miss oddness, if you pay close attention, you'll possibly end up learning something -- or, rather, Pictureplane hopes you walk away knowing a little more about yourself.

New Fingers of the Sun video is absolutely the most adorable thing in the history of ever

Fingers of the Sun kick summer into full gear with its video for "The Leaves Were So Green," directed by Zorab Ovsepyan and released this week, a song that sounds like a sunrise looks. Taken from its self-titled album released earlier this year, the song is a summer jam with a hook that's hard to let pass through your head.

3OH!3's "Robot" is like when the Beastie Boys made "Intergalactic," only it's not nearly as good

Yup, that's a robot.
​3OH!3 released a video for "Robot, " the first single from its yet-to-be-released studio album late last week, and its alright. There's nothing wrong with it, really, but there is also nothing stunning happening in this visual tale of a day in the life of a robot dude (though the song itself is about an emotionless woman) who gets wild in the street, at the mall and in the club. It just kind of looks like a commercial.

A first look at "The Deadliest Game," the lead video from Sole's Mansbestfriend Volume 5

Sole has been very hard to ignore recently. He's been releasing tons of content in a variety of formats for free or cheap as he's preparing for his next album in the Mansbestfriend series (due May 15), as well as a new release from Sole and the Skyrider Band (Hello Cruel World due July 19). His latest video is enough out of Sole's usual territory we figured it's worth a look.

Sole expands his "rap as journalism" with two new videos

Categories: Moving Pictures

​When we last checked in with Sole (aka Tim Holland) a couple months back, he was just starting to explore the notion of "rap as journalism," in which he turned pre-existing songs and beats into political statements, quickly and without a lot of investment. He's since gone on to do a few of these, including two new videos that dropped in the last week.
