I've been going a bit heavy on the electro and wacky shit lately, let's tone it down a bit.

Tegan and Sara - Back in Your Head

Where the hell is Sri Lanka anyway?

M.I.A.'s new album has only been out for about a week and she already has 3 videos. I never understand the logic of shoving out as many videos as possible in a month, then not promoting the album for the next 2 years. Regardless, if your idea of a good time is watching the "In Living Color" intro you'll love these vids:

Jimmy


Boyz



Bird Flu
