MGMT present a bizarre and hilarious modern morality tale for the melodic Me &amp; Michael.Delivered in a crudely homemade&nbsp;aesthetic by director Joey Frank and&nbsp;Randy Lee Maitland, it&#39;s a fast-moving satire of music biz shenanigans in the internet age: MGMT happen upon the song Me &amp; Michael, by the unknown&nbsp;Filipino group True Faith, on the web.&nbsp;And they love it so much that they steal it - a decision that has far-reaching consequences.Frank and Maitland&#39;s DIY approach takes a bit of getting used to, but it is actually quite a liberating influence on the story, which is gripping and comic, but also has something important to say&nbsp;(about the not usually fascinating subject of intellectual copyright). In fact, this is so well put together, True Faith have their <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zK_m6EgVSQ" target="_blank">very own Me &amp; Michael video too</a>.&nbsp;As for the truth about the provenance of Me &amp; Michael - well, this may lead to a few questions being asked. And is it just me, or does the chorus actually sound like China In Your Hands by T&#39;Pau..?&nbsp;&nbsp;

MGMT - Me and Michael

Sometimes, you run out of coffee and the only thing getting you through that day in the office is the bald eagle man with whom you sometimes get intimate. Or at least that&#39;s the story Amber Coffman and Zia Anger are telling here.The playful clip sees Coffman perform in a dreamlike office environment - all hazy and pastel-coloured. With Coffee stains on the ceiling, and on her dress, Coffman makes the best of the dreary, strange office space by dancing through it. It&#39;s a peculiar series of events - but this is what happens when you don&#39;t get your morning coffee...

New York indie pop duo&nbsp;Chairlift have released a&nbsp;touching new&nbsp;video directed by&nbsp;Allie Avital, for&nbsp;Crying In Public.&nbsp;And not unlike the image in&nbsp;Man Ray&#39;s photograph&nbsp;&#39;Larmes (Tears)&#39; shot in 1930, the video focuses on a&nbsp;collection of glassy tears&nbsp;adorning&nbsp;lead singer&nbsp;Caroline Polachek&#39;s&nbsp;face. We follow our heavyhearted singer through the streets of New York&nbsp;as she inspects the natural tears formed by winter&#39;s frost&nbsp;thawing away,&nbsp;while still more tears collect on her face. And although her lyrics suggest that she is sorry for causing a scene, she&nbsp;never&nbsp;wipes the tears&nbsp;away,&nbsp;accepting the&nbsp;feeling of vulnerability without any shame.&nbsp;
