In this weekend's show we'll have Bonnaroo clips from Aesop Rock, The National and Aziz interviewing Fabrice Fabrice.

There's one clip, though, that was too long for us to air but too funny for us not to share.

Enjoy this little teaser and tune in for more on Sunday night/Monday morning at 1AM EST on MTV2.

We are so pleased to bring you Of Montreal's latest video, "Suffer For Fashion".

It was directed by Norwegian director, clothing designer and possibly Renaissance woman Sigrid Astrup. Her directorial resume mostly includes Scandinavian bands we've never heard of like ENTAKT, Surfact, Sidste Ambulance & Snake and Jet. We'll be Googling those all day.

The video is a visual collage, literally, being made and re-made as you watch with some treated live performance shots sprinkled in, featuring the Kevin Barnes (by way of Prince) trademark ruffled blouse. Enjoy another sparkly pop track from the guy in Of Montreal.

Today is so boring.

Hence.

This.

We're way obsessed with the Shout Out Louds' new album. It may be the best new album from The Cure we've heard since Wish. We've seen interviews between this band and American journalists go down, so we're know they aren't necessarily fluent in English but you'd never guess from their lyrics.

We are absolutely chomping at the bit to start playing their video for "Tonight I Have To Leave It." You'll have to make due with some linkage until the paperwork gets sorted out.

And by way of Stereogum, do check out their La Blogotheque performance.

First of all: M.I.A.'s new look in the "Boyz" video? Neneh Cherry circa "Buffalo Stance", right? So awesome.

Watch the video here, see a behind the scenes on the set at iFilm and vote for her to win in the next MTV Battle of the Videos - she's up against Muse (also awesome) and The Academy Is.

After the jump we included the Neneh Cherry video for some compare and contrast.

Word in our email inbox is that there'll be a new Cold War Kids video very shortly for "Hospital Beds". We asked in our nicest voice and they agreed to let us show you a couple of stills from the video.

We don't know what the story is but we can tell you it's directed by Jay Martin at DNA (Eagles of Death Metal, Thrice, Wolfmother).

More photos after the jump.

Can we all come together, hold hands and agree that "Hey Jude" is Paul McCartney's best song (or at least top 5)? While some people are spending their time interviewing the King of Starbucks, we were way more interested in reading about how Sean and Julian Lennon are on speaking terms again.

I guess the fueding started with some comments in a newspaper regarding the Onos, but does anyone else remember the legendary Behind the Music apperance when Julian says, "Yoko Ono is raping the Lennon name,"? Classic. We are officially impressed with Sean's capacity to forgive and forget. If you can date Bijou Phillips you can live through anything.

Julian Lennon "Too Late for Goodbyes"

Sean Lennon "Dead Meat"

A brief history of Jawbox. 

Formed in Washington D.C. circa '89.

Moved from Dischord to Atlantic Records and caused a major indie ruckus.

Proceeded to record what many consider the best LP of their career, released in '94.

Made it to '97 before being dropped by their label and breaking up.

This video is seminal for everyone in Jimmy Eat World, the Get Up Kids, the Dismemberment Plan.

Who is this Heinrich and why does he maneuver? This video offers no answer but does reference the music video style of the Replacements.

It is directed by E. Elias Merhige, whose style your might recognize from Marilyn Manson's "Anti-Christ Superstar" (ahem) short film. Or from Suspect Zero. Maybe Shadow of the Vampire?

It rather looks like a Jay McInerney novel come to life. Enjoy the creepy new Interpol.

Today NME announces the Verve are to reunite and play a three date winter "tour".

Subsequently several Anglophiles in our office wet their pants as this is way better than a Blur reunion.
