New Music: CSS / Donita Sparks: "Alcohol" [Video] / "Pretend We're Alala" (CSS vs. L7) [Stream]

Brazilian electro-punks CSS may be tired of being sexy, but they're certainly not *hic* tired of booze. Talented fan Jared Eberhardt won the band's previously reported video contest with his clip for "Alcohol", from last year's Cansei De Ser Sexy. Eberhardt, who wins a prize of 2,000 euros (about $2,700), put this stop-motion sequence together using the band's green-screen footage, making good use of his free time between jobs.

It's easy to see why Eberhardt subtitled the clip "My Drinking Bunnies". "Wallace & Gromit"-like rabbits are all over the place, whether downing libations or miming the song's bouncy new-wave debauchedness on their little rabbit instruments (as the real CSS play on a TV screen). Any guesses what the bunnies will do if someone puts on some Death From Above?

BONUS! L7's Donita Sparks has mashed-up her band's still awesome 1992 single "Pretend We're Dead" with CSS' "Alala", and the Brazilian group-- which released its own live version of the grunge-era hit on the "Let's Make Love and Listen to Death From Above" single-- is hosting the results on its MySpace.
