Julian Casablancas + The Voidz "Human Sadness" (Warren Fu & Nicholaus Goossen, dir.)

Do you watch "November Rain" and lament that they don't make 'em like that anymore? This magnum opus from Julian Casablancas + The Voidz might be a bit too grimey and odd for you GNR fans, but even Saint Axl should recognize that this is about as audacious and indulgent as a rock video there ever was. 

So, put your lighters up (or put em to other use) and settle in for a 13+ minute rumination about the meaning of life, or, at least the meaning of rock.

Daft Punk "Lose Yourself To Dance" - official version

If you caught the teaser clip from the VMA telecast, then you basically know all you need to know about the new Daft Punk video — the first official one to be released off Random Access Memories. Our favorite French robots get joined by Pharrell and guitar/disco legend Niles Rogers for a glittery performance to an adoring crowd. There's a feel-good innocense vibe to it all, that depending on how jadded you are will be either underwhelming, or a welcome respite from the NSFW onslaught.
