New Justice Video - "Phantom II"

The reigning champs of indie video making climb back into the ring, here with less magic tees and more Justice birthday cake. Plus, despite the title and the sound, "D.A.N.C.E." was really just a leisurely stroll; at least here the kooky family in question makes nice with the beat. Their coordination is helped by the editor's scrubbing the footage, definitely, but with those pendant closeups, we get the sense it's the power of the cross  that compels them. - Source

Chris Rock Doing Bonnaroo's What? Stage

The hippie jokes are gonna be just a little more original this year! Bonnaroo announces Chris Rock will do a one-hour set of material on the fest's main stage, likely tackling politics, in-case-shit, and dirty twirling kids for one of the largest audiences ever to assemble and be openly mocked to their faces. Too bad it won't be in the comedy tent, but that's gonna be plenty fun this year, anyway. It features Zach Galifianakis, Janeane Garofalo, Mike Birbiglia Jim Norton, Brian Posehn, and "Late Time Chat About": a nighttime live talk show featuring skits, guests, and houseband, hosted by David Cross. Stereogum's drinking game suggestion: Take a shot every time a comic mentions Jack Johnson. You will be wasted. More on bonnaroo.com »
