The “twiggy” guitar tones, that “woohoo-ooh” falsetto vocal, and my gosh that finale! – they all add up to an unlikely
OK, A$AP Ferg’s “Let It Go” music video: Mutants! Ninjas! Teleportation! Damsel! Distress! Rocket arms! Explosions! AAHHHH! All of the explosions! TRAPLORD to the freaking rescue! Praise his name!

J-pop star Kyary Pamyu Pamyu drops yet another heart-warming song with some incredibly cute visuals attached. While her formula may be obvious, she’s still doing it incredibly well. Check a review for Kyary’s last album here.
Alternate Worlds by Son Lux Son Lux comes through with a handful of songs on a new EP titled Alternate Worlds. While I’ve never been a huge fan of this guy’s past efforts, there’s just something really “big time” and ambitious about the presentation of these songs
OFF! drops a new video for “Hypnotized,” which features a comedic altercation between two patriotic superheroes in ridiculous costumes.
