It’s the moment when you either tell your friends goodnight or order another round. If Austin quartet The Bright Light Social Hour is acting as the soundtrack to your night – you’re likely going to be waking up with a party-induced headache.

Eliza Doolittle’s Stalked By Fuzzy Monsters In “Mr. Medicine”

eliza doolittle mr medicineLittle Miss Rollerblades, Eliza Doolittle is back with another playful music video, this time for her catchy single “Mr. Medicine”. In the vid, the long-haired Brit has the sneaking suspicion she’s being followed as she wanders the streets alone at night — and she is, by a menagerie of animals, a gingerbread man, some bike riding monsters and some bizarre triangle-shaped creature. Our Popping Up songbird doesn’t seem a bit concerned by her furry stalkers, even as she reaches her front door — perhaps because Mr. Medicine is inside, keeping these “beasts” at bay? Tell us what you think of the Coachella performer’s latest vid.

Kanye West Releases Less Seizure-Inducing Alternate Video For “All Of The Lights”

2011-Kanye-West-All-Of-The-Lights-ft.-Rihanna-Kid-CudiLooks like Kanye West cares just as much about his fans with epilepsy as his fans without. The rapper released an alternative cut to his “All Of The Lights” video safe for everyone to view/be disappointed by. The major differences: the (gorgeously shot) opening prologue is gone, as are the neon credits list of non-featured featured artists. What’s added are some extra subliminal shots of Rihanna in another outfit, and some tweaking of the fonts and lights. All in all, it’s a slightly different version of a pretty underwhelming video.
