This is one of those songs that just goes on and on, and you just don’t want it stop, but to keep going on and on. Also, there’s a kid in the music video who looks like Putin.

I saw this video on mtvU the other day. This band is not necessarily usually my sort of thing. It features visuals that remind me of the True Detective opening credits.

You know the Sprint Framily Plan commercial in which they drop the beat and everyone starts dancing? “Music Is Life” by Elliphant is the song from that commercial. Elliphant is the moniker of Sweden’s Ellinor Olovsdotter. She’s bringing us a wild mix of hip-hop, reggae, and dance. This is all to say, Kyle Mooney has great taste.
