The National | "Exile, Vilify" Video

Recently a contest was held to make a video for The National's contribution ("Exile, Vilify") for the video game, Portal 2's soundtrack. The winner (out of 320 entries), as chosen by the band themselves, is about a sad looking sock puppet. I have to say though, I prefer the video that was chosen as #1.00000000001. Watch both down below.

Twilight: New Moon Soundtrack Looks Incredible

Although having never seen/read any of the Twilight movies/books, we have to say we're quite intrigued with the soundtrack for the second film New Moon. Seriously, look at the indie rock superstar tracklisting down below and tell us you don't feel the same. In addition to new Lykke Li, BRMC and many others, according to Ed Droste's twitter (and I quote), "FYI: Victoria Legrand of Beach House duets prominently on new song 'slow life'." How cool is this?

2. Band Of Skulls - "Friends"
3. Thom Yorke- "Hearing Damage"
4. Lykke Li - "Possibility"
