WATCH IT: Beastie Boys "Make Some Noise" (Adam Yauch, dir.)

The Beastie Boys teaser/trailer that preceeded this video already tells you nearly everything you need to know here: A star-studded cast — including Seth Rogen, Elijah Wood and Danny McBride as the three Beasties — and a general premise that starts with "What happened after the Boys left the party from "(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)". That said, this still rocks pretty hard, especially for old-school fans who will appreciate this Back To The Future stroll down memory lane.

WATCH IT: Tom Vek "A Chore" (Ollie Evans, dir.)

Indie-Alt star Tom Vek is finally back and he's a chick. Actually, he's the host of an old-timey performance/chat show called T.V. Island where a female-fronted new wave band performs the track as Vek serves as interviewer and cue card holder, although by clip's end it's clear than even that basic set-up is probably just a ruse. --> watch "A Chore"

WATCH IT: Rafale "Everglades" (Victor & Vianney, dir.)

There's been wunderkinds in business before, but never this young and never with such adult tastes. A boy exists as a miniature Gordon Gekko in this video for electro act Rafale, going about a typical financial titan's day: A lonely day of work, followed by a lonely few drinks at a bar and then an even lonelier attempt to escape it all with a prostitute. 'Atta boy. --> watch "Everglades"
