Video of the Day: Weezer's "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To"

BuzzSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 16:00:21 -0700

I questioned the substance of Weezer's single "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" off their upcoming album Raditude when I heard it a couple months ago, but the video is the kind that actually makes me like the song more.

I'm crediting the video's director, Marc Webb, who helmed (500) Days of Summer, for the retro-hip look. It's set in a '50s-ish town called "Weezerville" with tons of Americana touches, like a barber shop and plenty of era-appropriate costumes.

Watch the video and see if you don't enjoy "If You're Wondering . . ." just a little bit more. Oh, and if you ever had a crush on Rivers (I know I'm guilty), this clip might bring those old familiar feelings back. To see all the fun, just read more.

Buzz-Worthy Video of the Day: Adam Lambert's Time For Miracles

BuzzSugar — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 11:30:04 -0700

Adam Lambert's new song "Time For Miracles" leaked online a few days ago, and I was admittedly mixed about it. Now, the music video for the song is making the rounds on the blogosphere, and I'm actually digging it more than I thought I would!

It's from the upcoming film 2012, so it has the obligatory movie scenes, but dare I say, Lambert's pretty darn sexy in it. (I bet TresSugar would agree with me!) Plus, the way he starts wailing around the three-minute mark could even give Christina Aguilera a run for her money. I'm still waiting for his video duet with Kris Allen, but until then check out "Miracles" and tell me what you think when you read more.

Video of the Day: Kanye West and Spike Jonze's "We Were Once a Fairytale"

BuzzSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 11:30:21 -0700

Spike Jonze is the man today. After Where the Wild Things Are took the top box office spot over the weekend, the Internet is also buzzing with this new short film he made with Kanye West. I'm on a bit of a Jonze kick myself, so I was excited to check it out - especially since I liked their combined efforts on West's video for "Flashing Lights."

This film is called "We Were Once a Fairytale," and it features a drunken West acting belligerent at a club. (Maybe that's not a stretch given the Taylor Swift incident.) Up until about the six-minute mark, the footage is actually kind of boring, but then things get bizarre, and obscure Jonze imaginings start popping up, including a creature that could be the cousin to a Wild Thing, living in West's stomach. Really.

It's interesting to say the very least, so let me know what you think after you read more.

Video of the Day: Summer Lives on Thanks to Thao With the Get Down Stay Down

BuzzSugar — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 12:15:16 -0700

This weekend I'll be heading to the Treasure Island Music Festival for two days of music just outside of San Francisco. The awesome lineup includes MGMT, The Flaming Lips, The Decemberists, and Yo La Tengo just to name a few. I'm also excited to see Thao With the Get Down Stay Down, whose front-runner rocks out on her guitar to catchy, upbeat tunes that always make for a fun live show. In a new video for "When We Swarm," the band dances happily lakeside with a bunch of friends, making it the perfect pick-me-up if you're still in denial that Summer is long gone and Fall is here. Check it out below.
