from streaking through times square to the unhinged fisticuffs in their new clip, matt & kim sure know how to make entertaining videos. for the video for “cameras,” from last year’s sidewalks the duo let their violent side take over and have at each other brandishing anything at arm’s reach in their rehearsal space. this a neat bit with a kick-drum pedal at 2:04.
this might be the best close-quarters fight since uma thurman and daryl hannah’s in kill bill 2.

the new video for cold war kids’ “louder than ever” off the upcoming mine is yours (jan 24) plays like dream come true for an undiscovered beauty destined for the catwalk. at the expense of being severed from her boyfriend, a demure damsel is put through the fashion wringer to become a stunning looker. yeah, there’s shots of the band, but really my focus was on the brunette with the cheekbones. and how!
