It is at once a great week and a sad week here at the music video roundup when we just have too many great clips we want to display, but still must adhere to the Rule of 10. Our job, after all, is nothing if not editing. In addition to the selections below, we highly advise you to check out Yelle's surreal adventure for the "Ba$$in" visual, as well as Thylacine's dramatic, weird, and poignant glimpse into post-Soviet Bulgaria with "Mountains." They're both totally worth your time, and missed out on the top 10 by nothing more meaningful than a coin flip. There's a lot of strangeness in Audio Visuals this week, balanced out by a few little servings of whimsy. Being the seasoned video connoisseurs that you are at this point, we're sure it's nothing you can't handle.
Do you like Jenny Lewis? Did you enjoy her in masterpieces of the 1980s such as Golden Girls, The Wizard, and Troop Beverly Hills? Then you're going to love this video! It's Hannah Nefler! Special appearances by Fred Armisen, Zosia Mamet, Feist, and Vanessa Bayer.
That Jesus. He means so well, but sometimes it just all goes wrong.
Tom Rosenthal has some good advice, especially if you don't want to be caught sleeping when the aliens show up to do a drive-by over your pastoral home.
Prides apparently loved this song so much, they decided to make two videos for it. The first, which you can see here, takes a definitively darker approach to the song. But this one is all joy and spontaneous choreographed dance. We can get down with both.
This gets points for being a straight up nightmare. Our hearts go out to whoever's bad drug experience inspired this video.
A touching tale of child Lucha Libre competitors. It's more heartening than you might think.
If this is what the God emoji really would look like, we will abstain from trying to know the unknowable. This is another video to file under the "creepy nightmares" tag.
We're suckers for bullet time here at the roundup, and the crazy mess happening around Mick Jenkins totally won us over.
Make your brain work! Follow along with this Russian nesting doll of a video while you ponder the existence of the tiny wooden doll man. Is he as lonely as he looks? Is he content? Does he feel at all?!
You had us at "virtual guy with a disco ball for a head," Tame Impala.
