The video for Kelly Clarkson’s latest mega-infectious single “I Do Not Hook Up” has leaked onto a Chinese video sharing site. Although the clip may be a bit too literal, it’s still fun to see Kelly seduce model Lee Kholafai at a highfalutin soiree and give her rowdiest bar performance since she drunkenly schooled a metal band on “Sweet Child o’ Mine.”

The National’s Matt Berninger recently teamed up with St. Vincent to cover Crooked Fingers’ “Sleep All Summer.” Quite the indie dream pairing, huh? Aside from the addition of some gentle horns, it’s a fairly straightforward and lovely cover that can be found alongside a bunch of other great tunes on Merge’s 20th anniversary album, Score!.

The new trailer for Spike Jonze’s much-delayed Where the Wild Things Are is not just a visual feast, it also features an acoustic and studio mix of Arcade Fire’s “Wake Up!” Too bad we all have to wait until its October release date, I want to watch this now.
