Here are some cool videos. The first is the music video for the song "What To Say" by Born Ruffians from their upcoming album Say It.

Perennial favourites of the show Sebastien Grainger (formerly of Death From Above) and Josh Reichmann (currently of The Josh Reichmann Oracle Band) have formed a group together, awesomely titled Bad Tits. They're using the familiar aspects of their old music, heavy guitar from Grainger and amazing synth from Reichmann, but they treat them very differently. Through some substantial producing they come up with a new sound that should delight their older fans. Also, the video is wacky and awesome.
