This Guy Really Commits to His Cover of Fun.’s “We Are Young”

This is like a karaoke film version of Inception and I think I love Chuck Ninja. His commitment to his craft is admirable. I bet he makes a good party dip too.

Feist’s “Bittersweet Melodies” Video Gets Irina Werning Treatment

Irina Werning Back to the Future

I could stare at Irina Werning’s past-meets-present photo essays forever. Her attention to detail is outstanding and her ability to bring her subjects back to a very specific moment in time and capture it on film is like nothing else I’ve ever seen.

Feist’s new video for her song, “Bittersweet Melodies”, uses Irina’s photo essay along with a small amount of behind the scenes video footage from some of Irina’s shoots.

Of Monsters and Men “Slow and Steady” Live from Music Hall of Williamsburg

Of Monsters and Men are becoming the indie darlings of 2012. There’s something so soothing about their sound – it’s not something I could get down with on a daily basis, but when the sun goes down and I need to relax, these kids sure know how to set the mood.

As if they weren’t adorable enough, check out this clip of lead singers Nanna and Ragnar (for those of you who don’t know, the band is from Iceland) riding a roller-coaster at the Mall of America.

p.s. I’m totally going to hell for this but I kind of love that he looks like Chaz Bono.
