It's been a minute (a few minutes, really) since we had a Kid Sister video to enjoy. The Chicago MC broke out two years ago with the Kanye West-assisted "Pro Nails," with a video directed Zombieland auteur Rueben Fleischer.

Now, with her album Ultraviolet finally on shelves and in stores, Kid Sis is back on disc, wax, tape, and, for our purposes here, on screen.

"Right Hand Hi" is a fab piece of J.J. Fad electro-hop, with a half-dozen hooks crammed into a tight, burst of a jam. The video has some flashing lights, some flashy choreography, and a projected Kid Sister doing her thing on building walls.

While we're wrist deep into a pint of ice cream, napping off the working week, Taylor Swift will be GRINDING. Girl is pulling double duty at Saturday Night Live this week as both host and musical guest.

It's been quite a year for Taylor. She and the writers will have plenty of material to mine for sketches. It sounds like she's down for whatever, so here's 5 skits we'd love to see happen.

We Were Once A Fairytale, a short film collaboration between Kanye West and Spike Jonze, only recently came out (you can cop it on iTunes), but we're already starting to get some bonus materials.

Below, in the viral video of some behind-the-scenes action, Spike Jonze gets increasingly peeved at a text-addicted Kanye West, who's spending more time on his smart phone than listening to his director. Kanye gets slapped, and a nation of Taylor Swift fans rejoice. (Note -- We can all agree that violence is not okay, right? And that this video's just a joke? And that Kanye himself is probably in on it?)

Behind the Scenes With Kanye from We Love You So on Vimeo.

Welcome to Bummertown, population: Kanye West. How does the world not love him, let us count the ways.

Ever since the "Heartless" one interrupted teen queen Taylor Swift's moment of VMA glory he's really caught a bad one. First, his highly anticipated (if hard to imagine going off without a hitch) tour with Lady Gaga got canceled (we investigate like 60 Minutes here).

Then, after some erratic behavior had been reported here and there (and on, um... TMZ), Kanye skipped out on the BET Awards. The show, which was taped this past weekend, would've seemed like a logical place to find West, who was nominated for nine awards, but he was a no-show.

Now, in the wake of rumors that Yeezy has jetted off to India to find himself, dude's clothing line has been discontinued. His Pastelle line will apparently never see the light of day. (Or, it'll just haunt some dusty TJ Maxx racks.) Here's hoping for happier days for the dude. Despite what you might think of his personality/public displays of speech-making, he's still a much-needed voice out there in pop.

T-Swiz is going back to school. In this lilting, articulate, lovely little jam, Taylor Swift sings about the weight of the world that teenagers carry on their shoulders during those formative years.

Let's just get this out of the way now shall we? Yes, I fully expected (hoped?) Kanye was gonna burst on camera here at some point, grab the guitar and say, "TAYLOR, I'MMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT SIXTEEN IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FORMATIVE YEAR EVER." Rimshot.

With that obligatory joke out of the way, let's just enjoy this rather enjoyable tune from the album that just keeps on giving, Fearless. It's a more dreamy look for Taylor, as opposed to the goofy, teen-rom-com-style "You Belong With Me." And yes, that's really Taylor's real-life best friend, Abigail in the video.

This has been a crappy week to be both a music fan and a ticketholder. In the past week alone:

+ Kanye West and Lady Gaga's "Fame Tour" was canceled, causing anyone who knows, loves, and/or hates Kanye to wonder why: Kanye needs time for Kanye? Poor ticket sales? (I solidly CANNOT BELIEVE people wouldn't want to see Lady Gaga in concert after she practically disemboweled herself at the VMAs.)

+ Miley Cyrus came down with strep and canceled tonight's scheduled concert in Omaha. Boo! (But feel better, gurl!)

+ Then Paramore had to postpone their L.A. show yesterday because Haley Williams pulled her voice. Wah!

+ And, I'm not even kidding, The All-American Rejects had to cancel their scheduled this shows this weekend because poor Tyson Ritter's got a bum leg. Ugh!

Okay, first of all, I hope everyone feels better (and stops interrupting Taylor Swift or whatever). But all of these concert cancellations JUST SO HAPPENED to occur the same week as the International Olympic Committee decided which city would host the 2016 Summer Olympics. And if you read between the lines, you'll discover the REAL reason why Gaga and Kanye and Miley and Paramore and The All-American Rejects' shows were canceled! Don't believe the hype! It's all just a big conspiracy theory!

OBVIOUSLY Lady Gaga, Kanye, Miley Cyrus, Paramore, and The All-American Rejects are trying out for the Space Olympics... which have ALSO BEEN canceled. No idea what I'm talking about?

Drake, Kanye West (sorry!), Lil Wayne, and Eminem's new video, "Forever," was directed by the legendary Hype Williams and is featured in the new LeBron James film More Than a Game.

Watch "Forever" now, and celebrate the air horn, the club, LeBron, and the struggle.

Now who didn't enjoy Sean Kingston's, RedOne-ified, track "Fire Burning" (not that you, nor I, nor anyone else in America, had a choice in the matter)? But with remembered lyrics such as, "My pocket started tickling, the way she drop it low," and "She get it pop it lock it drop it, That birthday cake," I was completely refreshed when Kingston's second single off his new album, Tomorrow (out September 22) gave honest accounts of rejection and insecurity.

While it's still a moving and shaking track, Kingston shares the pain of a girl who said he'd "look better if he was thinner"; well, girl, "you should have loved him for his inner" ... no joke, 'cause Sean's "inner" is Lil' Sean, a wacky, CGI-dancing sprite who can walk on water.

In the "Face Drop" video, the same pretty much applies to all romantic rejects, who join Sean Kingston in a swirl of purple lights and rainbows to kick up an animated dance party on top of a pool. Don't believe me? Just watch the Ro Rao-directed video yourself. The featured style of animation, also on Kingston's Tomorrow album cover, is very Graduation-era Kanye West (sunglasses and everything), minus the interruptions.

This week, the Internet has been so atwitter with Kanye West VMA mashups, parodies, LOLpegs and so much stuff that I'm surprised Al Gore didn't have to go run and create a whole other Internet just to keep up with the contast demand for jokey Kanye interruption photos and videos. You can even have Kanye interrupt your entire website. Kanye's even been interrupting himself.

Taylor Swift's stock's through the roof, and Kanye kind of won too (for Team Kanye) by turning himself into a meme and making us all laugh through the week by turning into the new LOLcats. Here are 10 of the funniest Kanye interruption images.

PLEASE believe me when I tell you that at this point in the week I've seen just about EVERY Kanye West stagecrashing/ interruption mash-up/ hybrid/ parody ever created. Trust me. I get it. I work at MTV, I was at the VMAs when it happened, I like funny things. I've seen them all. I'm pretty sure my mom's even sent me a few. Hell, I think she even MADE a few Kanye interruption JPEGs.

But this Kanye/ Taylor VMA tribute, by Houston singer-songwriter Without A Face (he's on Ludo's Redbird Records and tours with the band) is one of the most fun, as it parodies Taylor Swift's "Love Story" and Kanye's "Heartless" and involves hilariously timed VMA footage of Kanyegate (the shot of Beyonce's face is priceless), as well as references to U2 and KANYE'S SOUTH PARK FISHSTICKS!

Okay, Without A Face, I'ma let you finish, but first, lemme say, this is one of the best Kanye/ Taylor VMA parodies I've seen all week!!!1!
