Serena Maneesh - DIWSWTTD
Remember those days when your kid was so darn cute you could've just put a bag over his head, tied him up and beat him silly with a baseball bat... they grow up so quick. I'm just joking, they don't beat the kid with a bat, or do they... no they don't cuz you can't show that, or can you............ enjoy.

LCD Soundsystem - Home
Everyone wanna be a rock star, even the robots. After successfully inventing "crazy eyebrows" (they said it could never be done!!!) an old man sets to work on creating a robot from some body's 1982 garbage (Light Bright, Ghetto Blasters, that tube thing from behind the dryer. Dryer Tube. Totally 80's dryer tube.) Anyways, against all odds and realms of reality, it works! But just as the robot was entering its new found world with hope and optimism, it ran into a hipster, wearing guy shorts and a mustache, oh no. But, turns out a fake robot has more aluminium brains than a hipster and ditches that scene. Yay! Our robot then becomes a rock star of sorts and really puts into perspective how elaborate this whole video really is. Look at all the people! What festival let a fake robot headline? Glad I didn't pay $250 for that, though it does look pretty fun. Enjoy.

No Age - Losing Feeling
No Age go back to the simpler times of mouse meets mouse, one mouse finds "potion", mice drink potion and turn into "human best friends" who start playing noise pop together. Potion lable (LOL). Enjoy.

Twin Shadow - Slow
Back in the 90's there were these Calvin Klein commercials on Much Music (canadian!) that featured awkward emaciated non-specific gendered teens in a wood paneled basement, with a bare light-bulb hanging (bare light bulbs and basements always = something bad gonna happen) and a off camera male voice telling the victim or teen, they looked sexy and coaxing them to remove clothing followed by more "yeah that's sexy". Total creepfest. Anyway, lots of similarities to this video, though it's deemed Not Safe For Work while the Klein ads were free for all to view as you flipped between "Videoflow" and "Animaniacs" and had wood paneled nightmares. Enjoy.

The Very Best - Julia
This video reminds me of a "Criminal Minds" opening sequence, could be the sparse warehouse, the out of focus shots or the lifeless bodies. Definitely the lifeless bodies. "Hotch" and the gang are gonna have their work cut out for them as these unsubs have clearly matured in terms of their killing appetite. They are now blatently making dope tracks about it and posting flashy directed videos on the internets (they sooooo want to get caught, BAU in your face!!). Internets! Sounds like a Garcia episode. Enjoy.
