It brings us great pleasure to bring you Tegan & Sara's newest video for "Alligator," taken from their fantastic 2009 album, Sainthood.

In this Marc De Pape-helmed clip, the guitar-toting twins engage in some Eskimo-looking ennui and rock some bitchin' knitwear on a fake, frozen-tundra set. Things get totally awesome when they breakout into some fantastic choreography that seems to be equally influnenced by Inuit folk dancing, mid-'90s hip-hop moves and high-school cheerleading.

The whole thing—the knitwear, the trash-bag igloos and the dancing—is just another reason for us to fall deeper in love with this Canadian folk-pop duo and the beautifully quirky music they make. Check out the video below. Sainthood is available now.

If you don't counting his So Far Gone mix tape, Drake's debut album Thank Me Later is one of the most highly anticipated hip-hop records of the year—and, with "Over," we finally get our first glimpse of what the Canadian MC has in store for us.

Produced by Boi-1-da and Al Khaaliq, "Over" is very much a first single, in that it sounds like Drake is almost overwhelmed by the opportunity to officially go off. Even though the track is less than four-minutes long, it sounds like he's pouring all of himself into every corner of the song.

"Over" is a mixture of singing, rapping and ingenious wordplay. We love the lines, "Everything is kosher/Two thumbs up/Ebert & Roeper," which also happen to be a favorite rhyme of Amanda Bynes.

Congrats, Drake. "Over" is a fantastic musical appetizer. We're still hungry, though, so bring on the main course! Thank Me Later is due out in the next few months.

According to the countdown widget on my super-secret Twilight fan site, there's only 116 days until Eclipse, the third installment of the Twilight saga, is released in theaters. I'm so excited, I almost hugged the head right off my Edward Cullen body pillow. True story.

I just heard some sad news, though. According to Celebuzz, New Moon director Chris Weitz will not be back behind the lens for Breaking Dawn, like many people expected. Summit Entertainment has yet to name a new director but if I get a vote, mine goes to Michel Gondry. Wouldn't that be bonkers?

In the meantime, Weitz will be busy with the film-adaptation of Neil Strauss' seduction manual The Game (which I'm hoping brings Mystery and his furry top hats to the big screen) and American Pie: Part 8275987. (Just kidding! It's only Part 4, entitled Another Bullsh*t Night In Suck City. Don't get your panties in a bunch, Stifler's mom.)

All is not lost, fellow Twi-hards. The Twilight Saga: Eclipse opens in theaters on June 30.

Shaun White

Getting massive air requires major riffs. If you look closely at a tape of Shaun White's gold medal-winning run at the Vancouver Olympics you'll see he's wearing headphones, as many snowboarders do, to get musical inspiration for halfpipe-bending twists and flips. Wondering how he gets big air? It must be a side product of the classic rock licks. During his recent run to introduce the spellbinding Double McTwist 1260 trick he was cranking Guns N' Roses' "Paradise City."

After hearing that, we asked for Shaun's list of his favorite songs for shredding. In the midst of promoting the Team USA Soundtrack he gave us a top 10 list that includes Razorlight's "In the City," The Doors' "Riders on the Storm" Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" and the Rolling Stones' "Play with Fire." While the Team USA Soundtrack (available at ITunes) doesn't have those tracks, it does include a couple of numbers by Honor Society and Mariah.

Here, in no particular order, are the rest of his board-bangers.

Led Zeppelin, "Whole Lotta Love"

Like so many men before him, Diddy has been bumming around Paris recently. No doubt hip-hop's original Bad Boy has been spending his time in cafes, watching the Seine roll by and contemplating life's great mysteries, his very existence and his very Diddy-ness. Or maybe he's just putting the finishing touches on his appropriately titled, long-delayed album Last Train To Paris.

Either way, he's seeing the sights. The above photo, which places Diddy in front of the "Mona Lisa" in Paris' famous Louvre Museum, was spotted on Buzzfeed and swiped from the man's very own Twitpic account. We'd like to invite you all to add your wittiest caption. Here are a couple to get you started:

1. "I told you she was checking out my ass."

2. "I was thinking about reforming Danity Kane and I think Mona Lisa might be perfect! She's fierce and she keeps quiet. (Cough—Aubrey O'Day—cough.)"

3. "Am I buggin' or do you see the gnomes, too?"

If you need any musical inspiration, check out Last Train To Paris' awesome, club-rocking second single, "Love Come Down," featuring the duo Dirty Money (featuring Dawn Richard of Danity Kane), below.

Welcome back, Kate Nash! We've really missed you—and your quirky odes to pumpkins and mouthwash.

After taking three years out, the British pop-maiden is back with a new video for the first single off her new album, My Best Friend Is You, which comes out April 20. The clip is for "Do Wah Doo," a Motown-fueled ditty about unrequited love, which has a growling opening reminiscent of "Your Honor" by Regina Spektor.

In the video, Ms. Nash as a flight attendant on a mod-tastic, '60s-themed plane and, amidst showing patrons the emergency exists and refilling coffee, she drools over a fellow steward who seems to have googly eyes for a girl who ain't her. Will she end up turning his head in the right direction—or will they encounter a major case of love turbulence? Guess you'll have to watch and see.

Check out the video of Kate Nash's new song "Do Wah Doo" below. Also, we've thrown in Foo Fighters' "Learning To Fly" clip for good measure. (That one's for you, Sully!)

In the dictionary, under the term "no-brainer-surefire-smash-jam," you'll find this song. After all, "Eenie Meenie" blends together the mall riot-inducing talents of Justin Bieber with the island-pop of Sean Kingston. In other words, it's kind of a big deal.

Bieber and Kingston have both made a name for themselves with hook-packed anthems celebrating the simple pleasures and painful heartbreak found in teenage love. So, it's interesting that, on their first-ever collaborative effort, the two would address the slightly—and I mean just slightly—more complex issue of a girl who can't make up her mind. Overall, the song reminds a little of Jay Sean's "Down," with its combo of dance beats and lovelorn vocals.

You can check out some interesting footage of the two working on "Eenie Meenie" in the studio at Sean Kingston's YouTube page. My World 2.0 is out March 23rd and Sean Kingston is currently working on his third, untitled album. "Eenie Meenie" will appear on both forthcoming LPs.

+ Kelly Clarkson will spend the summer with her sisters-in-song, touring as part of the re-invigorated Lilith Fair. Clarkson will join The Bangles, The Go-Go's and The Courtyard Hounds (Emily Robison and Martie Maguire of the Dixie Chicks). While it certainly would not suck without her, the tour is certainly improved by her presence. (Rolling Stone)

+ Justin Bieber just celebrated his birthday on March 1 and, with that in mind, Idolator has dug up some baby—and tween-age—pics of the "Never Let You Go" singer. (Idolator)

+ DJ AM might be gone, but he will never be forgotten—especially by Travis Barker. The blink-182 drummer, who survived a 2008 plane crash with AM, recently got the DJ's name tattooed on his arm as a tribute. (MTV News)

+ Shakira seems to have lured Spanish tennis star Rafael Nadal into her she-wolf lair. Watch the two volley back and forth on the set of her new video for "Gypsy." (PopEater)

+ Rihanna has been out of the news for, like, 45 seconds, right? Well her new haricut should fix that. The "Hard" singer recently switched up her 'do, opting for a tiger-striped bowl cut that some have compared to super-model Agyness Deyn. Rhi Rhi must've missed our recent post calling for a boycott of bowl cuts. Too bad. (LimeLife)

Rihanna, you know I love you, girl, but you have got to fire the stylist who sent you down the red carpet wearing this teal-colored Slanket. Seriously.

The "Rude Boy" singer showed up wearing this non-frock on March 4 at the Echo Awards in Berlin, Germany, and all I can say is, "Potthässlich!" (That means "very ugly," for our non-German-speaking readers.)

Was there a Snuggie runway show at this year's New York Fashion Week that I wasn't aware of? I mean, I knew the fleece potato sack came in a variety of colors—Royal blue! Pink! Zebra-print!—but I had no idea they were made with shoulder-pads and accessorized with nude Christian Louboutin heels. Yikes!

What do you think of Rihanna's red-carpet risk? Is this a fashion hit or miss?

Although we mentioned earlier he will be playing the third-annual Roots Picnic this summer, Mayer Hawthorne is having a bad day — at least in the video for "I Wish It Would Rain," off the multi-instrumentalist's latest album, A Strange Arrangement.

As Hawthorne slowly strolls along in this Henry DeMaio-directed clip, the Los Angeles sky looks crisp and cloudless. However, upon closer inspection, you see the singer is being showered by his own personal rain cloud, which obviously symbolizes the blues he's carrying around.

The rainstorm continues through his day, following him to a date with a girl at a coffee shop, a magazine stand and then on his way back home — all the while he sings this gorgeous, falsetto-fueled, '70s-soul ballad.

Check out the video for Mayer Hawthorne's "I Wish It Would Rain" below. A Strange Arrangement is currently available.
