‘Krautrock: The Rebirth of Germany’ spans 1968 to 1977, examining ‘how a radical generation of musicians created a new German musical identity out of the cultural ruins of war.’ Check out the full hour-long doc, posted here, which features music and interviews from Kraftwerk, Can, Faust, Popol Vuh, Neu! and more.

The AV Club recently launched Undercover 2012 — the third round in its ‘let’s have a band cram into a small, round room and cover a song off a list’ web series — and the latest clip finds Canadian dream-pop outfit Memoryhouse giving The Police’s 1981 hit ‘Everything Little Thing She Does Is Magic’ a makeover.

This is a particularly hilarious bit of footage that’s just surfaced: Check out a pony-tailed Trent Reznor leading Nine Inch Nails (and dancing like a madman) through a lip-synched performance of debut single ‘Down In It’ on the wonderfully dated ‘Dance Party USA.’

With his excellent new solo album ‘Between the Times and the Tides’ now out, Sonic Youth guitarist Lee Ranaldo today released a second music video to promote the record, this time for the track ‘Angles.’ The clip, directed by Ranaldo’s wife Leah Singer, premiered today at Vulture and can be seen here.

The debut album from techno duo VCMG — aka former Depeche Mode bandmates Vince Clarke and Martin L. Gore, working together again for the first time in 30 years — has been out a couple weeks now, but Mute Records is just now debuting an odd 70-second trailer for the 10-track ‘Ssss.’

The original lineup of Killing Joke — Jaz Coleman, Kevin “Geordie” Walker, Martin “Youth” Glover and Paul Ferguson — next week will release the band’s 15th studio album, ‘MMXII,’ and are preceding it with a new music video for the record’s first official single, ‘In Cythera.’

Last month we brought you a stream of Belle and Sebastian’s somewhat languid cover of The Primitives’ jangle-pop classic ‘Crash,’ recorded for the Scottish band’s ‘Late Night Tales’ mix CD — and now comes the music video, featuring animated, Lego-like reproductions of B&S.
