Even when their songs are subpar, Cursive deserve a warm pat on the back for their ambitious, high-concept (and narrative) videos. The veteran crew's Mama, I'm Swollen single "From The Hips" was their best song in years, offering a chance... CONTINUE READING NEW CURSIVE VIDEO - "I COULDN'T LOVE YOU"»

Since it's LOST Thursday (yes, we forgot about the change from Wednesday until last night, too), here's a bit that came to the inbox a few days back: Thanks to Adam Schatz and Jeff Curtin for tipping us off to the the worst -- but funniest -- way to catch up with each week's bygone LOST chapter. Previously On LOST will write, record, and post to MySpace a song after each episode, offering a recap and handy reminder of the madness that went down. The first song's called "We're Going Home." Kitschy, but cute (and a fun link to forward to similarly LOST souls). Plus it's really fun to sing along to! C'mon, everybody: "We are the Oceanic Six ... we are the Oceanic Six ... I think I'm gonna grow a beard..."

Harold Perrineau, the actor who plays Michael on Lost, has a truly bad video, directed by Daniel Dae Kim (Jin on Lost), for his truly bad song "Stay Strong," which is in the vein of Billy Joel's "Christmas In Fallujah," only more '80s and with a Billy Ocean vibe. But what we really wanna know is ... does this mean Walt is OK??? Damn we are so ready for this.
