<description><![CDATA[Yesterday we showed you Coldplay's video for &quot;Violet Hill.&quot; Not content with just one clip for the Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends single, the Brits have turned in an alternative take directed by Mat Whitecross that one-ups the original's dusty Italian backdrop, magnifying lenses, and violet hills and skies with a dancing George W. Bush and some unexpected pogoing from Karl Rove. Even though the political commentary's as obvious and light as the song, it's entertaining.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[What do you get when you combine the selling power of Bud Light's Santogold with the laconic New York charm of the Stroke's Casablancas and the non-laconic L.A. sizzle of N.E.R.D.-y Pharrell Williams (not featuring Lindsay Lohan)? Basically, a well-produced Neptunes-style sneaker jingle with the guy from the Strokes and Santi on it. Could be worse ... we like commercials that sound good. The Guardian gives us the deets about how the power trio plans to lace up and sell us new kicks.<br/><br/>1 Vote(s) ]]></description>
