       If you're looking for a way to procrastinate because you're down to that last round of studying and you just can't stay focused until you take a break (it's actually good for you to take breaks in between studying [i.e. study for one hour, take twenty minute break; study for 45 minutes, take ten minute break; and so on until you've got it to increase productivity/keep you from reaching a mental block]; I can always find a way to defend procrastination) check out the videos below for some of the releases you might have missed over the last few weeks.
"Take Yours, I'll Take Mine" Matthew Mole (it's simple, sweet, and addictive, just like the single)
"Pull Down the Moon" Cattle & Cane (it's just as adorable as the song and will make you smile)
Bob Dylan's interactive music video for "Like A Rolling Stone" (because interactive videos are all the rage)
"Death Is A Party, Invite All Your Friends" Palaye Royale (these guys should already be super fucking famous)
      And check out the official video for "Follow My Feet" from The Unlikely Candidates too, because it is completely unacceptable that music like this has been flying so far beneath the radar for this long (every track on their Follow My Feet EP is just as perfect so get it on iTunes now).

Salvage /  by E

       MTNS came out with their music video for "Salvage" and it's just as unobtrusively moving as the song itself. 
       Check out the video below, get their debut EP Salvage from iTunes (featuring the single "Lost Track of Time"), and listen to all the tracks for fantastic lyrics, gorgeous vocals, and music you won't mind having stuck in your head all day.

Argentina (Parts I, II, III) /  by E

      This was more than worth the wait between 2010's Champ (and their cover album, 2011's Ten Songs, Ten Years, Ten Days) and now, because this is perfect.
       Tokyo Police Club puts on one of the best live performances I've seen and their music's fantastic; the vocals are awesome, the melody never fails to be completely addictive, the beat forces you to move, and the lyrics are just so great, so check out "Argentina (Parts I, II, III)" below and start getting excited for the band's next album.

Fairytale of New York /  by E

       There is no way I can be expected to focus on books for multiple hours this far into my 'college career', and listening to Christmas music is more fun than memorizing laws anyway.
       "Fairytale of New York" is probably the best Christmas song of all time (or at least tied with "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" [listen to The Gods of Macho's version here, because I'll keep talking about it until you love it]) and Gianni Luminati and Sarah Blackwood's (of Walk Off the Earth) cover is gorgeous and kind of really perfect.
