This Bollywood action sequence puts our own summer blockbusters to shame. This shows that over the top originality and ingenuity will beat an over-budgeted Hollywood movie any day. You probably can't remember a single scene from a transformers movie but we guarantee this clip will stick in your brain for years to come. more ›

OK Go continue their streak of memorable videos constructed through partnerships that recall ye olde days of when the upper crust (in this case corporations) acted as patrons to the arts. And, if such arrangements continue to allow a band like OK Go unfettered creativity without having to beg for alms, we're O.K. with that. more ›

Yet another reason we're glad that Tom Hardy's in The Dark Knight Rises? If he hadn't become an actor he might have been .. a rapper. more ›

Yeah, it's a little long, but it's late on a Friday and you're not doing any work anyway. And this is funny. And touching. Watch it, you'll see. more ›

The economy's in the crapper so people are doing whatever they can to get a job. Anything goes. Literally! Gotta admit though, if we had an opening we'd totally hire this guy. more ›

We don't know about you but our Sunday nights have grown far drearier since Breaking Bad ended its season. Seriously. You now, we like Boardwalk Empire and all, and appreciate seeing Ted Danson be uniformly hilarious in Bored To Death but no one can fill the void that Jesse, Walt and (the recently departed) Gus have left in our life since departing the airwaves for god knows how long. So let's reminisce a bit about happier times, shall we? more ›

Believe it or not this is a beer commercial, despite the fact that there's no beer. Or anything that overtly brands it as a commercial. Here's to your weekend; may it be this full of fun and positivity. (Also, and we may be a little biased, it really reminds us of a certain other video.) more ›

This kitten doesn't know the meaning of the word "failure." We hope you attack the weekend with this much unbeatable gusto! more ›

We can't tell which is better; is it this man's description of this car accident or is it the video editor's hyperkinetic style? more ›

If you listened to Wilco new album The Whole Love when it was streaming last Sunday you know that the band is set to turn out not only a highly anticipated album but one that -- upon initial listens at least -- seems to continue the trend of the band getting ever better with age after a brief stagnant period. Let's further build excitement with this just-released video for a track from the disc's center point, "Born Alone," shot my Chicago musician / filmmaker Mark Greenberg. more ›

We love us some Tom Waits. El jefe de Chicagoist Chuck and I have both seen the man live numerous times and I think we can both agree that he is one of the, if not THE, finest performers of our age. Word is he has a new album coming out (finally!) so we're especially tickled that this video has been making the internet rounds over the past two days. If you know the words, sing along! more ›

Oh. My. God. When K-Rob sent this our way we just knew we HAD to run it. more ›

When it's THIS hot outside there's only one way to deal with it. These people have it down. Go do something magical and fun today. more ›

tUne-yArDs plays in about an hour and a half at Pitchfork but if you aren't heading there (or even if you are) there's a great interview with her on tonight's Sound Opinions. For a taste of what to expect, and a taste of just how she does that which she does sao well, here's a video of her performing "Powa" at the Sound Ops taping. more ›

If Glee ever pulled something like this we might be willing to give that show a second chance. Luckily for us that'll never happen. more ›

This early 1990s commercial reminds us that while we might be at the top of our game today, there's always the risk of the figurative Suntory whiskey commercial in all of our futures. more ›
