Florence & The Machine's New Video Leaves Us Emotionally Confused
Everyone can write songs about being miserable (Scattergood), but songs about being happy must be difficult to do well, since there are so few of them around. Which makes Florence & The Machine's Dog Days something special. Why, then, does the clown-featuring video feel the need to bring abject terror into an already heady cocktail of emotions?

Of Montreal: New Video, Promise Of Something Right Good Next Week

The New Ladyhawke Video Has Frights, Commercial Potential
First things first. It is spooky week here on the Lipster, so it is only appropriate that we should mention something frightening about the new Ladyhawke video. A mountain made from scary cats' heads! Shudder etc.
