• Gwen Stefani feat. Akon - The Sweet Escape (video)
  Songs like this make her album not a total waste. This one is light years better than 'Wind It Up'. [cred].
  
  
• Hot Chip - Arrest Yourself (video)
  The new video from Hot Chip is like a watching-paint-dry version of The Matrix.
  
  
• The National Pool - AO1 (MP3)
  The National Pool hail from Nashville and create an intresting fusion of indie rock and electronic elements on this track.

• The Mystery of Picasso - Google Video
  Watch Picasso in a time lapse video as he creates an oil painting...his own way. Just when you think you know what's going on, you don't. It helps me appreciate his work a lot more.
