Tune-Worthy: Jay-Z and Kanye West in OTIS, directed by Spike Jonze
Besides being a music video from two of the music industry’s top talents, I may love Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “Otis” because: I’m an Otis Redding-discography owner that needs to hear his soulful voice more often. It’s directed by Spike Jonze, who must have thought: “Somewhere between a Levis commercial and that new movie Bellflower. Done.” Random Aziz Ansari at 1:31, 1:37, and the best one at 2:31.

Read MoreTune-Worthy: Lady Gaga’s “Telephone” featuring Beyonce
Lady Gaga and her sidekick Beyonce (along with director Jonas Åkerlund) just took a song I didn’t much care for and turned into something I’m going to obsess over. My media-soaked mind went into overdrive with the constant barrage of pop references. Tarantino. Thelma & Louise. You’ll probably need a cheat sheet just to be sure you saw what you think you saw. Oh look. MTV was nice enough to put one together for...
