WATCH IT: Mike Posner "Cooler Than Me" (Jason Beattie, dir.)

Why settle for rose colored glasses? Mike Posner puts on a series of spectacles that totally change his perspective. One pair brings a standstill party to life, another separates the world into anaglyphic 3D, while another fulfills the promise of x-ray spex. --> watch "Cooler Than Me" (MTVU premiere)

WATCH IT: Audio Bullys "Only Man" (Jonas & Francois, dir.)

Anyone remember the Sir Mix-A-Lot classic, "Put Em On The Glass"? Well, this is nothing like that, but the song title does explain the basic thrust of this Audio Bullys video directed by Jonas & Francois. A clear partition blocking off the camera serves mainly as a place to display a series of some creatively decorated sneakers, where the tread patterns are in the form of various images that relate to the lyrics. Some of the tread patterns are logo parodies and homages to famous images — I personally like the Joy Division reference — while others form musical instruments and notes and a whole lot more.
