Another year – another season, mind – another music festival. When it gets old, you’ll be the first to know.
It’s hard to believe that the Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival is only three years young, but maybe that’s why it’s looking so good. The official lineup was announced today and things are ready and rearing to go this August 12-14. Stadium heavyweights Muse and Phish leading the pack with two sets, and such movers-and-shakers from Arcade Fire, MGMT, The Black Keys, The Decemberists and Erykah Badu, to our favorites Foster the People and oft-on-our-radar Grouplove and The Vaccines, will take on the various stages at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, CA.

It’s that time again. It’s time for us to pick our favorite music video of the week! A lot of great material was released over the past few days but we had to narrow it down to one. We based our decision on creativity, music, and most importantly why you won’t see it on MTV…but should!

Remember a few months ago when Erykah Badu, while filming the music video for the song “Window Seat,” stripped naked and ran through downtown Dallas before pretending to get assassinated, a la John F. Kennedy? No? Ok, consider yourself reminded.

Erykah Badu may have stirred up some controversy with her music video for song, “Window Seat.” However, people from all over came over to the Adidas Mega stage to see the real Erykah perform on Lollapalooza‘s last night. Known for bringing female perfection to the art of neo-soul music, we imagined she’d promptly arrive on stage to blow us away.
Instead, we got a DJ mixing some beats for 15 minutes and Ms. Badu was nowhere to be seen for the first 20 minutes. Getting anxious, the crowd began to chant, “Erykah! Erykah!” wishing that the real deal would have started sooner. Finally, Badu walked out onto stage sporting a golden mohawk and larger than life earrings to match.

Remember how earlier this week, we reported on Erykah Badu’s latest video for the track “Window Seat,” in which the eccentric soul singer ran naked through downtown Dallas before pretending to be assassinated, a la J.F.K.? No? Well, the last sentence essentially covers it. The producers of the video had no permit to shoot (Dallas doesn’t require them), and the crowd in which Badu runs through in varying states of undress were not extras—just a bunch of really surprised Texans whom, it should be noted, did not file any complaints or call the police department.

If you’re going to recreate one of the most shocking, harrowing and culturally resonant moments in American history in your music video, you may as well do it with style – taking a cue from the Matt and Kim clip in which the two strip down in Times Square, Erykah Badu’s video for the new track “Window Seat” features the singer walking through the streets of downtown Dallas, stripping off her clothes until she is completely naked.
