Kid Cudi may eventually “pull the Kanye” (oh, that’s what that means now?), but for now you can catch the Josh Hartnett-produced video for Cudi’s new single “The Pursuit Of Happiness,” which cropped up today. Cudi slows things waaaay down for a live-for-the-moment/toke-’em-if-you-got-’em anthem (which also features duo Ratatat and Kudi’s fellow Grammy nominees MGMT)—all to pretty potent effect. As he says, “Everything that shines ain’t always going to be gold,” and everything leaked on YouTube ain’t always going to avoid copyright enforcers, so let’s get to it.

Never one to let an opportunity for online virality pass them by, Weezer have released the hybrid cover of MGMT’s indie-kid fave “Kids” and Lady GaGa’s actual hit “Poker Face” that they premiered a few months back in Slightly Cleaned-Up, Officially Sanctioned Single form. Watch as Rivers Cuomo toasts 2008… in May 2009! Judge for yourself whether Weezer’s take on GaGa’s No. 1 track is better than Chris Daughtry‘s! See if you can make it all the way through the clip’s five minutes and 36 seconds without wishing you were listening to “Say It Ain’t So,” or even “Beverly Hills,” instead! All these delights await you after the jump. More »
