Presented as a black and white mini movie , The Drums released their music video for their single “Magjc Mountain”. It follows them up a mountain( that I assume is magic) while they explore their surroundings while wearing armor and shooting flames from their hands and picking up diamonds. Shout out to Elizabeth Taylor. I wonder if that will make more sense in volume two installment. The Drums new album Encyclopedia is released on September 22nd.

Rare Footage of Teenage Kanye West Rapping
Rare footage from 1996 captures a young Kanye West performing at the opening of the Fat Beats record store in New York City, offering an early glimpse into an artist who would later reshape music, fashion, and popular culture. In the video, West appears fresh faced but already self assured, delivering his verses with a confidence that feels striking in hindsight. Even at this early stage, there is a sense of intent and presence that sets him apart from the surrounding crowd.

Honestly I think I’m going to have to watch this a few more times before I can make out story of it, if there is one.Most notable parts include the sassy boardroom runway pant suit moment, The faceless scene changes wardrobes, pigs and cheerleaders for suicide.

Sufjan Stevens, “Year of the Tiger”
Not a new song but a new official video for a song. Year of the Tiger was released back in 2001 but recently has been brought back to life by director and animator Geoffrey Hoskinson. The video has colorful animations of abstract lions slowly coming closer staring right at you, eventually multiplying and making a final creation. It’s all very hypnotizing. I like the paper like feeling the animation had. Check it out:
