Earlier this week, Reptar unveiled a new video for the song "Sebastian." It’s the first single from the group's proper full-length debut, Body Faucet, and it’s kind of a weird one that depicts the plight of St. Sebastian with acid-laced surrealism.

According to catholic.com Sebastian is “patron of archers, athletes, and soldiers, and is appealed to for protection against plagues,” and he died in the year 268. He’s also a bit of a controversial character, as he is seen by many people in the homosexual community as an early gay icon.

In his first solo video for "The Chill," burgeoning underground rapper Bias the Black comes across with of a bit of an awkward lyrical delivery that doesn't quite sync up with the song's instrumental flow. But as the words unfold it soon becomes clear that the man who’s rapping is a ghost, a former hit man who hasn’t quit figured out that he's been betrayed. ... Although he's on to something.

It's an interesting way to frame a concept such as this, even though the supernatural angle might not be immediately clear, especially if you haven’t watched the trailer for his upcoming EP, Noir: Phantom. In light of these things, the title starts making sense.

Bias the Black is part of Glenn Saddler’s FartherOut crew, and if the look and feel of this video seem familiar, it's because the director, Kyle Drew, also put together Saddler’s “Fais Gaffe Se Tois,” which arrived last week.

Kreayshawn can't get enough of these, uhm, Southern rappers. First, a whole album with Gucci Mane, and now a quickie with 2 Chainz. This collabo seems more palatable for some reason. The video, directed by Alex Nazari, adds a nice gothic touch to the grinding rhythm behind "Murder." But I kept waiting for somebody to eat the raw meat.

Decatur Dan's back at it. In his second video with 2 Chainz in as many months, it's the technical camera work that could make this shoot unique. Looks like those jumpy, seizure-inducing edits might get trumped by the dizzying spin Dan puts on his camera in this behind-the-scenes video. Talk about getting turnt up.

And if you haven't seen his recently released first video with Big K.R.I.T., it's a part live-action/part animated affair that finds Dan creatively stretching yet again.

In case you hadn't noticed, Black Lips are playing a show at Terminal West on Saturday (May 12) with Riff Raff and Eli Porter. Both of the opening acts owe a good bit of their respective stardom notoriety to the viral power of the videos they've unleashed unto the masses via the Internet. In honor of their unwitting ascensions, Black Lips singer and guitarist Cole Alexander gives us a list of his 7 favorite Internet sensations.

7. Jan Terri — “Losing You.” Jesus Christ! Who makes this shit up? Jan Terri make's this shit up, that’s who ...

6. Duane “the Teenage Weirdo” — “Pop Goes Duane” + "Jean Genie" live at I-Rock Nightclub. Duane is a weird art-punk from Detroit who once appeared on the hit television show, “The X factor,” and is completely obsessed with Atlanta's child / JonBenét Ramsey murder mysteries. He has created quite a buzz, and I hear that there’s a serious indie label bidding war going on over signing him right now.

There have been an awful lot of crusties hanging around L5P lately, huh?

Ralph, Dino's Boys, Acid Freaks, Resons, El Fossil, and Bums don't really fit into the dystopian crustcore fantasy (thank goodness), but the show at the Star Bar on Thursday (May 10) is free.

Come buy them a beer, give them your spare change, and shout anarchy before the music starts up around 9 p.m.

This video for deadCAT's "Littlefeet" has been circulating for a few days, and it looks pretty good, if you're into carnage and watching people's guts being pulled out of their bodies, which can be cool in the right context.

The high def. treatment here really takes the song to a new level, and I think narrative is saying something about the nature of complacency, conformity, and the human condition. But that all depends on who you relate with most in this video, the hungry masses, or the sacrificial lambs.

Either way it's a gorgeous but grotesque visual counterpart to the song — "illWAVE," if you must have a name for it.

The video for Glenn Saddler’s “Fais Gaffe Se Tois” (above) showed up on the Internet last week. It’s the first of a six-part video series that's put together like scenes from a short film, created by Kyle Drew and Saddler, and co-starring photographer Chelsea Turner. Each of these videos are the counterparts to songs from Saddler’s first proper album, Anthem, which is due out on his self-run FartherOut label on May 18.

“Fais Gaffe Se Tois” is a French slang term that means “watch out for yourself,” which is something like the Frano equivalent of “check yourself before you wreck yourself,” and, as you can see in this pinched hip-hop excursion, the song sets the stage for the first step onto a very slippery slope.

Saddler explains, “The entire short film is about a guy going through a pretty tough stretch of time. Work troubles, break up, existential grief, etc. We wanted to use the character (and his problems) as a stand in for our gen (and out problems). We wanted to pose the questions, 'How do you survive these times?' 'Do you assign blame?' 'Do you try to prevent these things from happening?' or do you just keep your feet moving and hope it turns around?"

If you're not on the Neneh Cherry tip yet, stop everything you're doing right now and take a few to watch this video. It's a video that the Swedish-born Cherry - stepdaughter of storied cornetist Don Cherry and half-sister of Eagle-Eye - recently filmed for her scatted-out cover of MF DOOM/Madvillain's iller-than-ill "Accordion" (from the instantly classic Madvillainy; original video here).

Cherry's collaborators for the tune, and for the entirety of her upcoming album The Cherry Thing (out 6/19), are the members of Sacandanavian avant-jazz supergroup The Thing. This is a truly amazing pairing, you guys. Cherry's floetic, metasexy approach meshes beautifully with The Thing's deep, eclectic controlled freakout. See also: the group's gorgeous cover of Suicide's "Dream Baby Dream." I'm getting wet over here.
