“A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men.” -Willy Wonka
Andrew Bird – “Eyeoneye”
This felt version of Andrew Bird has a hell of a lot going on inside of him. Not only are there tiny little men working on machines in his chest, but also vibrant stars and planets swirling around inside his head.
Chromatics – “These Streets Will Never Look the Same”
I dare you not to immediately put on Drive after checking out this latest video from Chromatics. Black and white images of cruising backed by smooth electro instrumentation will give you an itch only Ryan Gosling can scratch.
El-P – “The Full Retard”
I guarantee this will be the only time this week that you’ll see a puppet squirrel get a blow job.
DIIV – “How Long Have You Known?”
DIIV’s Zachary Cole Smith is apparently a big fan of the popular YouTube series, “Will it Blend?” Here, he chops up everything he can get his hands on, from cell phones to lava lamps, and mashes them into one easy-to-swallow pill. Let’s hope he has poison control on speed dial.
Florence and The Machine – “Spectrum”
Hello, Broadway? I have a feeling if that Flo brought the magnificent spectacle from her latest video (not to mention that insane hairdo) to the stage, we would go broke from seeing it so many times.
Jay-Z and Kanye West – “No Church in the Wild”
I think the Occupy Movement might be in trouble if the police start walking around with full grown elephants like in Yeezy and Jay’s latest music video.
M83 – “Reunion”
M83′s latest video sees the return of the kids with superpowers from their “Midnight City” video. This time, a pack of the little guys run rampant across Los Angeles like it was their last day at the Xavier Academy before summer vacation.
Nas – “Daughters”
I guess now it’s only a matter of time until new father Jay-Z comes up with his response track to Nas’ latest single.
Pusha T – “Exodus 23:1″
The ongoing beef between Pusha T and the YMCMB crew finally has visual accompaniment. It was shot in Pusha’s hometown of Norfolk, Virginia and features gritty images of city street life.
The Walkmen – “Heaven”
The video for the title track off The Walkmen’s latest album consists of archival footage and photographs from early in the band’s career. If anything, it’ll make you feel old when you realize that Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me Is Gone came out over ten years ago.
