Lustra have premiered their new video for “Scotty Doesn’t Know (The Second Coming)” from upcoming album What You Need & What You Get on their MySpace. The video involves the band as a moving crew which destroys the place and a hot real estate agent who apparently dances in school girl outfits in her off time. I like the video…not sure what it has to do with destructive moving crews, but it’s a good excuse to smash things.
Check out the video below the jump and tell us what you think…

Peter Frampton is angry that all of the kids are stealing the signs off of his lawn. Frampton, 70s legend of the “talking guitar,” which was cool for a while back then, is mad that someone keeps stealing the Obama signs off his lawn, so mad that he called his local paper, the Cincinatti Enquirer, to offer an interview about the incidents.

Check out UH HUH HER’s new fully animated video “Explode” (read BeatCrave interview here). The video was created by Jodi Sandler, a Canadian fan who traveled to Paris for inspiration. The video is beautifully put together and captures the essence of “Explode”–the second single from the group’s Nettwerk debut album COMMON REACTION. The clip is dreamy, imaginative, and provocative clip. The use of reds, whites, and blacks, captures the sexuality of the song perfectly.
