BLOC PARTY: One Month OffJanuary 7
Bloc Party raid your classic fairytales with modern weapons of war in this latest video directed by the D.A.D.D.Y. team. The band, again, avoid actually appearing in the video, instead opting to portray the music with innocents Red Riding Hood and Miss Muffet getting mowed down by tanks and grenades. Watch the music video (qt).
DUELING DEEJAYS: Superduel 2.0January 6
HEADMAN: On And OnJanuary 5
Headman is often a favourite for runway fashion show, mixing electro with rock elements for stylish effect. This video, directed by Simon Owens, is decidely, not so glamourous. Instead finding inspiration in Coco Rocha style Irish dancing with poor lighting and grainy film stock puts this video in the "indie" category. Watch the music video (qt).
BEYONCÉ: Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)January 4
As far as pop music goes, this single from Beyoncé slew the back half of 2008. A guaranteed panty flinging at every party I deejayed, and will undoubtedly continue to plow through the early 09. One of a duo of Sasha Fierce videos directed by Jake Nava, this is the one that features that glimmering robo-power glove. If I'm not mistaken, the mind blowing choreography is courtesy of gender bender performer Jonte (and in my opinion, the REAL Sasha Fierce...) UPDATE: Apparently I am mistaken. Choreography is by JaQuel Knight. However, I wasn't all wrong. JaQuel is apparently one of the female back-up dancers in the video... in gender bending drag. Watch the music video (qt).
SHOCKING PINKS: EmilyJanuary 3

Being signed to DFA Records tends to get you some notice when it comes to innovative indie dance music, and Shocking Pinks is such a band. No fuss drone punk from New Zealand fronted by Nick Harte, listen lightly and find an articulated My Bloody Valentine influence. The work released by DFA is broadly a compilation of previous work. Newer work under the DFA label is yet to be released. The video is directed by Ron Winter with Ben Dickinson. Watch the music video (qt).
