Phoenix - "Trying To Be Cool"

With temps rising into the triple digits over here in NYC, we at NYLON HQ are trying to be cool in more ways than one. So far, the only thing that appears to be working is an oscillating fan to the face and this EMiL remix of Phoenix's "Trying To Be Cool" on repeat. MELISSA GIANNINI

White Poppy - "Wear Me Away"

Now that

it's scientific fact

Mazzy Star released "California" this week after almost half a decade of reunion rumors to give us a taste of

Classixx - "All You're Waiting For" feat. Nancy Whang

LA-based electro DJ duo Classixx have teamed up with LCD Soundsystem's Nancy Whang to create a seriously lavish and awesomely bizarre music video for their boogie-licious track, "All You're Waiting For." It has everything you could ever want: a yacht, some bitchin' hats, a speedo-clad butler who dances, and puppies! GRETA GARMEL

In their new single, the Isle of Wight born-and-bred Champion brothers manage to take the somber out of lost love, replacing it with beach-y undertones, haunting hooks, hip-swaying synths, and cheeky lyrics like , "I'm not the reason why it's cold in your heart." Basically what we're saying is that it's a summer anthem for Smiths fans still holding out for a reunion--and more fun than cannonballing into a stranger's swimming pool. Eve better?
