[BEST VIDEO EVER] Major Lazer "Get Free"

[BEST VIDEO EVER] Major Lazer “Get Free”

Holy Caribbean Vacation Fantasy. I’ll have you know, I am bootie-shaking and gyrating and letting out little gutteral moans as I write this. Like, right now. In the middle of my office. Bootie shaking and doing the butterfly and also googling places to get hair-wraps in Los Angeles, since I can’t afford a plane ticket...
[BEST VIDEO EVER] The Coathangers "Merry Go Round"

[BEST VIDEO EVER] The Coathangers “Merry Go Round”

Apologies to all rom coms, but not all relationships walk the straight line of normalcy. Some zig-zag and some loop and some spin round and round, like a merry go round (if you are bright, you will see where I am going with this). Not everyone gets why someone would want to deal with all...
[BEST VIDEO EVER] Nü Sensae "Spit Gifting"

[BEST VIDEO EVER] Nü Sensae “Spit Gifting”

I could tell you what I see in my head and it hurts—that hockey-checking shrieker in the tattered flannel tying me up to a rickety board in Nü Sensae‘s basement lair, just kicking me and spitting on me over and over and over again until I drown in it (Ed Note: is “hurts” a euphemism “totally turns me...
[BEST VIDEO EVER] White Lung "Glue"

[BEST VIDEO EVER] White Lung “Glue”

  White Lung’s video for “Glue” trades in some of the crisp cinematography and narrative of earlier videos for a grainy, staccato assault on the senses.  Here we get an acid-washed mash up of heavy machinery, doomed horses, chaotic live footage, minivan head-banging, and some sharp, wild-eyed women hanging out in a grungy bathroom. The...
[BEST VIDEO EVER] Charli XCX Ft. Brooke Candy "Cloud Aura"

[BEST VIDEO EVER] Charli XCX Ft. Brooke Candy “Cloud Aura”

I wasn’t going to write about this new Charli XCX and Brooke Candy video because I’m pretty sure we’re one post away from a restraining order BUT THEN I realized that I, Yasi Salek, have a teeny-tiny 1.5 second cameo in it and then all bets were fucking off because I’m famous, bitches. Also this...
[BEST VIDEO EVER] Dan Bodan "Aaron"

[BEST VIDEO EVER] Dan Bodan “Aaron”

Call me a gullible sap. Call me a fag. Call me a fag hag, even. Sticks and stones, people. Sticks and stones. Dan Bodan stabs and soothes like icy-hot while channeling a twisted, lovesick, seedy James Blake in this tragically romantic video for “Aaron,” which will no doubt unearth chilling memories of your tempestuous relationship with...
[BEST VIDEO EVER] Lana Del Rey "Ride"

[BEST VIDEO EVER] Lana Del Rey “Ride”

If you haven’t seen Lana Del Rey‘s new video for “Ride,” I suggest you lock yourself in a private place with a laptop and a box of tissues (these are multi-purpose tissues for our male readers) and brace yourself for the roller coaster of emotion and adrenaline that is the next ten minutes of your...
[BEST VIDEO EVER] Brooke Candy "Das Me"

[BEST VIDEO EVER] Brooke Candy “Das Me”

Not that I’m obsessed with Brooke Candy or anything (I’m obsessed with Brooke Candy) but I’ve maybe watched her new video for the song “Das Me” about 20-30 (60-70) times since it premiered on Dazed Digital the other day. In my defense (#norestrainingorder) it has three of my very favorite things in the world: 1....
[BEST VIDEO EVER] Eating Out "Burn"

[BEST VIDEO EVER] Eating Out “Burn”

This new music video from Vancouver punk super group Eating Out is making me feel all sorts of carefree, like I just want to quit everything and grab a bunch of 40s and friends and forget all of my problems and just ride a shopping cart down a hill of freedom. Made up of members...
[BEST VIDEO EVER] Grimes "Genesis"

[BEST VIDEO EVER] Grimes “Genesis”

I can’t even really get too into talking about this new self-directed Grimes video for the song “Genesis” because I just get overwhelmed and choked up and a little warm in my face so I will just tell you that our pal Hanni El Khatib came up with a new hashtag inspired by it. It...
[BEST VIDEO EVER] Count Mack f. Brooke Candy "Theme Music"

[BEST VIDEO EVER] Count Mack f. Brooke Candy “Theme Music”

While I actually listen to this Count Mack and Brooke Candy song at least once a day (paired with an iced coffee and a little bit of twerking it really does wonders for your mid-afternoon slump), I’ve barely watched the video since the first time I saw it (which was ten days ago, we’re nothing...
[BEST VIDEO EVER] Black Lips 'Noc-A-Homa'

[BEST VIDEO EVER] Black Lips ‘Noc-A-Homa’

This photo pretty much sums up my feelings about this new Black Lips video. In telling the tale of the beloved former Atlanta Braves mascot Chief Noc-A-Homa (GET IT??? Oh, baseball), the Lips bring back the fallen hero (actually I don’t think he ever fell or anything, he was just quietly retired in 1986) to...
