  • Spanish dance outfit Delorean have unveiled the video for "Uphold," a collaboration with Chairlift's Caroline Polachek. Director Eric Epstein uses the gorgeous Opus 40 sculpture park in New York to create some pretty stunning visuals. It's psychedelic and trippy in the best possible way. [Pitchfork]

  • Nine Inch Nails have enjoyed an amazing and successful career spanning two decades, but have somehow managed to refrain from performing on late night TV...until last night. Trent Reznor and company graced Jimmy Kimmel Live! with their presence and delivered a funky, slow-burning performance of "All Time Low." [Stereogum]

  • If you missed the chance to see FLAG during one of their many US shows earlier this year, you're in luck. The band has pieced together some killer footage of them performing at New York City's Irving Plaza back in September. It's 15 minutes of them slaying hardcore classics like "American Waste" and "Padded Cell." [CoS]

  • Last night, during a show in Syracuse, Chance The Rapper covered Coldplay's "Fix You." This is a definite step out of his comfort zone and he handles it relatively well. It's a bit awkward in places, but I give him points for creativity. [Stereogum]
