A short film about Kanye West by Spike Jonze

Kanye West and Spike Jonze follow up Flashing Lights with. Something. After the success of Flashing Lights it seemed perfectly reasonable that Spike Jonze and Kanye West would team up for another music video. I'm not sure that this is what anyone expected. Part meditation on the misery of fame and money, part surrealist art film, 0% music video, it's like someone filled the Real World hot tub with acid and sent them out on the town. It's a long video, but do stick around the ending.

We are, yeah I said it, we are

America Responds to Kanye West

Kanye West's VMA outburst: The A.V. Club finds people who think it's due to the devil, an NBC marketing ploy, and a metaphor for racism. Don't care about Kanye? Even so, I think you'll at least appreciate that the video he embarrassed himself for, Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It), is pretty fantastic. (previously) BWE has the video of the incident. This is not the first time Mr. West has had bad behavior at the VMAs. This outburst is just the most recent in the long line of public embarrassments for Kanye, which include the great gay fish South Park episode. That incident ended up super sparkly and ruined fish sticks for him forever. And, of course, there was the original inappropriate moment: George Bush doesn't care about black people. There was also that embarrassing incident with Obama. (no really, Obama mentioned him) You could say this is an emerging meme. For more horrible pop culture news read The A.V. Club's Daily Buzzkills.

Can't Tell Me Nothing: Kanye West's new video features Zach Galifinakis and Will Oldham. "The hilarious clip was shot on Galifianakis' farm in North Carolina and illustrates the many trappings of big pimpin' on the homestead: rollin' tractor-style, hay bailin' and stayin' faithful in a room full of hoes (better known as cows)." Some backstory.

Miles Davis? Kanye West? The Beatles? Oh... you mean Muzak? Ike played it in the West Wing, NASA used it to soothe astronauts' anxiety. But it's not just your daddy's elevator music anymore.
