Fatboy Slim: That Old Pair of Jeans Video by SummerSeventySix
Fatboy Slim is probably past his peak music-wise, but he's consistently had great videos. His latest premiered on British TV last night, and it's easily up there with the award winning classic videos by Spike Jonze for Praise You and Weapon of Choice.
The new video for the single That Old Pair of Jeans features comedian Chris Bliss athletically juggling in time with the music (more of his juggling here). It's totally mesmerizing, and simply has to be seen. Actually, the song isn't too bad either.
Talented at juggling? Make your own video and send it to Fatboy Slim. The winner gets their video published. More details and the video are available on Fatboy Slim's MySpace page.

WMC 2007 Directly from the frontlines of the 2007 Winter Music Conference, Flavorpill commissioned m ss ng p eces to make a video capturing all of the music and mayhem of the event. The result is a kinetic party that manages to wrap Miami flavor, a little irony, the love of music and even the South Beach institution La Sandwicherie into one. We don't know...

Nouvelle Vague: Nugroove vol. 5
With bossa nova-kissed covers of vintage new wave, lilting French accents and sweetly soothing vocals, Nouvelle Vague's eponymous debut in 2004 was a global hit, providing the perfect soundtrack for romantic first dates. Currently touring with their equally charming and catchy second release, Bande à Part, Cool Hunting joined singers Mélanie Pain and Phoebe Killdeer, producer Olivier Libaux and accordionist Wendy McNeill for a few games of bowling before catching their New York performance at Webster Hall. In the video you'll see their flirty live show, find out who's the best bowler in the group and learn what some of their songs are really about.

Brian Dewan
In this, our 50th episode, we visit the Catskill, NY studio of artist Brian Dewan. His sculptures are pre-digital, unpredictable electronic musical instruments. Dewanatron, as he calls the genre, is a family of instruments which hazard unpredictable behaviors and self playing tendencies. They make all previous and future instruments obsolete. We also bring you to Pierogi Gallery where we first learned about Dewan.

Brazilian Girls: Nugroove vol. 4
On the heels of last week's review of Talk To La Bomb, Cool Hunting Video's 49th episode is an exclusive look at the Brazilian Girls that marks their latest album's release. Crossing multiple genres, representing a mutli-culti mix of ethnicities and with lyrics in five different languages, the New York-based band resists easy definition. Since last October, Cool Hunting Video has followed the quartet to the studio, caught live shows, and visited backstage, capturing candid, behind-the-scenes moments with the burgeoning group. The resulting video is a portrait of a band that's as eclectic as the musicians themselves. Like always, but especially for this installment, headphone use is recommended.

Hess is More: Nugroove vol. 3
Mikkel Hess (aka Hess is More), makes music for films, theater and multimedia (including a recent collaboration with the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen), has a current radio and MTV hit in Europe, and plays tennis. With his virtuosic ability to play multiple instruments and love of jazz and experimental electronica, Hess creates a sound palette that is all at once original, hypnotic and timeless. Cool Hunting Video caught up with him on the court and in the studio to discuss his creative process when he was in New York City this summer. You can also catch his work on the upcoming compilation Luftkastellet 4 or, if you're in Brooklyn, see his U.S. debut on 25 October 2006 at Monkeytown.

Quantic: Nugroove vol. 2
Known for deftly blending a wide range of multi-ethnic sounds, calling Brighton-based DJ Quantic a consummate crate-digger is almost an understatement. With that in mind and with the impending North American release of the 26 year-old's fourth solo album, An Announcement to Answer, we tagged along with Quantic on a recent visit to a Brooklyn record store. There and in an interview, he shared some tips and gave us a little insight into his current collecting habits, which naturally show up on An Announcement. The disc—a laid-back journey through jazz, funk, hip hop, and soul—are what you'd expect from a musician who's traveled throughout Africa and Puerto Rico, creating and recording much of his album on the road. From playful beats laced with trumpet samples and warm guitar loops to guest appearances by labelmate Ohmega Watts and LA-based chanteuse Noelle Scaggs, the eclectic lineup is well-balanced, never boring, and plenty lively. Due out tomorrow 25 July 2006, you can get it from Ubiquity or from Amazon.
