Below is a dichotomic new music video for the title track from Meek Mill‘s album Dreams & Nightmares. The footage starts off rather dreamy, but at a flip of a switch, it intensifes bringing you into an urban Mad Max-like landscape. Ha…and then closes out to what looks like a Ciroc product endorsment.

Did you every want to ask Free Energy questions like who were they pretending to be when lip-syncing in front of a mirror as kids and which is their favorite Spice Girl? Well, sixth graders Connie and Olivia from Kids Interview Bands had the opportunity to hit the group (minus Paul Sprangers) with those hard-hitting questions and more at Ace of Cups in Columbus, Ohio, which you can view below.

When Black Cab Sessions came to Philly, local Twitter accounts were all abuzz, but as time went by, we just never seemed to hear much more about their visit except for a teaser trailer. And when the session finally saw the light of day, U.S. viewers weren’t able to access it. Well, we were reminded this morning about the Philly Black Cab Sessions, which is filling us with so much pride as we watch it over and over again. It’s Monday morning, and we thought that you might need a pick-me-up too. Check out some of the familiar faces of Philly’s music scene talking about the city that we all love so much with performances by local favorites Meg Baird, Grandchildren, “Reading Rainbow”/Bleeding Rainbow, Tone Trump, Freeway, Plastic Little and Spank Rock as well as visiting artists The Morning Benders and Rain Machine (a.k.a. Kip Malone) HERE! Good morning, and enjoy!

Check out the latest Random Tea Session featuring Daniel Ryan Belski performing a pretty, string-laden version of "Lights Out" off his EP They Always Haunt At Night. If you like what you hear, you can swing by The Random Tea House tonight to catch a full acoustic set from Belski. He’ll also be plugging in on Friday, March 1 to open for Juston Stens and The Get Real Gang at Johnny Brenda’s.

Scranton transplants turned Philly staples The Menzingers will provide the undercard for post-hardcore veterans Hot Water Music tonight at the Electric Factory. The local quartet released an unsung hero of records, On the Impossible Past, early last year on Epitaph Records. Formulating pop-punk anthems that exhibit snarly vocal grit with guitar and percussion providing clean controlled continuity while always prepared to launch a sonic assault when the emotional fire is ready to rage. Electric Factory, 421 N. 7th St., 8:30pm, $27, All Ages – Michael Colavita

Yeah, it’s effin’ cold out! That’s why this Saturday you can find a whole evening’s worth of entertainment all under one roof at Kung Fu Necktie. The night will kickoff with a solo set of panty-dropping vocals from Sun Airway’s Jon Barthmus. Then prepare to be engulfed in sonic waves when Nightlands, a.k.a. The War on Drugs’ Dave Hartley, hits the stage to share some new tunes from his latest album Oak Island. (You can check out our recent interview with Hartley HERE.) And you don’t have to leave after his performance because you can either stay downstairs for Sugar Town’s 12th Anniversary and benefit show for Ladyfest Philly with Radiator Hospital, Bike Crash and Batty, or head upstairs and pretend like you are at a house show with Catnaps, Roof Doctor, Tutlie and Incorporated Village of the Ghost. See – there is no need to go anywhere else. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 7:30pm, $10, 21+ – H.M. Kauffman

Below is a new feel-good track called "Closer" and music video from Shorty boy-boy to help bring you into the weekend. It was filmed at South Philly’s Studio A and around the city, and was produced by RGB Video Production. They’ll be performing live on Saturday, February 9 at MilkBoy Philly.
