Sunset Television understands that going to dances can be weird and vaguely uncomfortable, and they play it up in their video for Beirut's “Vagabond”, a black-and-white clip that sees some Navy men on a shore leave that's even stranger than the rest of their year, when they live on enormous metal ships that can destroy the world. 

The band's horn-centric indie folk fits well on a community centre's stage, especially when it's the soundtrack to men chasing chickens, dancing awkwardly with girls that hate them, performing magical faux-pas, as well as a general sense of love that is either unrequited or dismissed outright in favor of getting drunk, puking, then drinking some more. Could the whole thing by the military to boost enlistment, like Top Gun and those commercials with Godsmack, but for indie music fans? I'll let you know as soon as I get back from the recruitment office.

Watch the clip below, and purchase Beirut's lovely new album The Rip Tide, out now.

Nicki Minaj bored of acting sexy for men

The 'Check It Out' rapper was constantly told to act and dress in a seductive way when she started off her hip-hop career but she resisted.

Now that she is famous, Nicki insists that it's important to embrace your uniqueness as a woman rather than conform to the stereotypical concept of sexiness that pervades throughout the pop world.

"When I started getting serious about rap, the people closest to me were like, 'You should dress this way, you should speak that way, you should rap this way.' I just started feeling super caged in," Contactmusic quoted her as telling Daily Telegraph newspaper.

"It seemed the only look for women in hip-hop was sexy. I thought you had to do that. But it's boring. The typical sexy. I mean, girls wanna be sexy but I also think you have other sides of yourself," she said.

Nicki made a conscious decision to alter her look before her album 'Pink Friday' was released in 2010 because she realized she had been suppressing so much of her personality.

"Right before my album came out I felt like I had been hiding my personality - my comedic side," she added. (ANI)
