WATCH IT: No Doubt "Push And Shove" (Sophie Muller, dir.)

No Doubt takes us back to the pattern-positive world of 'Hey Baby' (though checkerboard instead of houndstooth) by way of the spotlit black and white of 'Hella Good'. Sophie Muller follows the band on a high-energy but relatively low-stakes nocturnal tour of NYC with drinks and horsing around down by the river. Gwen and the crew are charismatic and engaging but I still kind of wish they had discovered the 'crackcident' party in Bushwick.  --> watch "Push And Shove"

WATCH IT: Joey Ramone "NYC" (Greg Jardin, dir.)

After making a splash with Jelly Beans, director Greg Jardin takes his stop-motion skills to the streets of NYC for a lovingly rough and tumble and awesome tribute to the Patron Saint of Punk Rock, Joey Ramone, and his beloved hometown. There's over 100 cameos here that ranges from Joey's brother Mickey Leigh, bandmate Tommy Ramone, and prominent fans like Anthony Bourdain, Kristin Schaal, Andrew WK and Reggie Watts. --> watch "New York City"

WATCH IT: Citizens "True Romance" (We Are From LA, dir.)

As that mid-riot make out couple proved: Sexytime can happy anytime, anywhere. Directing squad We Are From L.A. recreates that classic couple, in addition to a bunch of other face-suckers who could care even less about their surroundings. --> watch "True Romance"
