Let's do some math, class. Awesome Band (No Age) + Awesome Song ("Fever Dreaming") + Awesome Video Director (Patrick Daughters) = Awesome Music Video. See, learning can be fun, after all.

This is the new video from Los Angeles noise-punk duo No Age for their new single, "Fever Dreaming," taken from their awesome newish album, Everything In Between. It's directed by acclaimed auteur Patrick Daughters, whose breakout video for Feist's "1234" established him as a master of one-take music video.

The video takes place in a living room set up in a warehouse space. As the cacophonous anthem builds and builds, so does the chaos within the video. As the camera slowly tracks in, the items in the room seem to self-destruct as soon as they reach the edge of the frame.

It's a thrilling piece of filmmaking for a fantastic song. You can read a really informative and fascinating interview with Daughters about the making of the clip over at Pitchfork. Watch No Age's "Fever Dreaming" video, below. Everything In Between is out now.

You may remember Catlin Crosby's face from such shows as Malcolm In The Middle, That's So Raven and That '70s Show, but it's her voice that you should really be getting to know. The Hollywood pop princess is so good, she's already worked with Babyface, Robin Thicke and even Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson.

Her self-titled debut album is loaded with the kind of Regina Spektor / Feist-y ditties we've come to expect in the backgrounds of iPod commercials and big-screen teenage romances. In the whimsical video for first single, "Still Have My Heart," Caitlin bops around an animated scratch-paper backdrop, dealing with a string of doofus blind dates, including one with a dentist! And yes, those dates are really Zach Levi, from Chuck, Albert Reed of Dancing With The Stars, House's Jesse Spencer, and Robert Hoffman, from Step Up To The Streets.

Watch this little charmer, keep an eye out for Caitlin Crosby in upcoming Danny DeVito movie, House Broken, and check out Caitlin's side-project site, loveyourflawz.com, where "imperfect is the new perfect."

I've been super into Via Tania lately: the Chicago-by-way-of-Australia singer-songwriter just released her second album, Moon Sweet Moon, and it's full of dreamy-yet-substantial, bliss-and-wonder-filled tracks -- "The Beginning" is an absolute gem -- with some guilt-free disco thrown in to marvelous effect. Fans of Kate Nash, Feist, and even Kerli, start downloading.

But, most interestingly, it's obvious that Via Tania (born Tania Bowers) has been visiting Natasha Khan's Bat For Lashes School of Beauty, right down to the feathers and penchant for primary colors.

+ Watch Via Tania's "Wonder Stranger" video, and find out more about Bat For Lashes' new album, Two Suns.

More two-of-a-kind action:

Company Of Thieves is a band out of Chicago made up of Genevieve Schatz on vocals, Marc Walloch on the guitar, and Mike Ortiz playing drums. Their sound is kinda Feist-y. Soft, throaty melodic vocals over jagged, bluesy riffs and rhythms. Just a pinch of attitude.

But before you get to all that, you're much more likely to hear of Company Of Thieves as the band behind "Oscar Wilde," basically a musical remake of Rushmore with the band cast in all the leading roles. Lady-in-chief Genevieve Schatz plays Max the choirmaster, JV boys' basketball manager and kung-fu yellow belt, to name a few. The video is so engrossingly true to Wes Anderson's quirky masterpiece that you'll have to watch it twice before you even hear the song. Why don't you go ahead and do that right now?

+ Vampire Weekend love Wes Anderson, too.
