Toe Jam by The BPA

Toe Jam is a great video. Watch and enjoy the absurd gunfights, pong games, and other amusing things the directors came up with.

Jerk It by Thunderheist

I have to admit, what I like about Jerk It is the attractive woman moving her body. The shots of her face as she focuses on her arms, mastering a pulsating motion, they're so hot.

This Is The Dream Of Win And Regine by Final Fantasy

My first experience with Final Fantasy is the video for This Is The Dream Of Win And Regine. It's a lovely bit of electro-acoustic violin, punctuated with moments of trying to keep crowds away.

Province by TV On The Radio

Older generations of rockers are in love with TV on the Radio. Trent Reznor recruited them to tour with him a few years back and David Bowie apparently did backup singing on Province. It's not hard to hear why they get so much fuss.

Hot Lips by Pacific

A stylish song paired with a stylish song: Hot Lips is a lovely bass driven dance song and a black and white animated short with the occasional touches of color.

A Thing For Me by Metronomy

A Thing For Me looks like it was great fun to shoot. They find plenty of variations on ball bouncing off the lyrics and they do it all with an enthusiasm to match the joyful pop song.

The List by Metric

Unfortunately the video for The List is your basic live-footage-of-band-playing-the-song. But the song is some fine indie pop, so give it a listen if you haven't heard it.

Muppet Face by Xiu Xiu

Muppet Face is probably more of what I expect from a Xiu Xiu video than any other Xiu Xiu video I've ever seen. Callous soldiers, human dismemberment, and Jamie Stewart's singing.

Basin Street Blues by Kid Koala

The video for Basin Street Blues makes the tune feel more like it was designed as a soundtrack for the animated short than the other way around. It's a somber, chopped up mourning for the poor man with no brain.

Futures by Zero 7

Ordinary grocery store commodities mutate and morph hypnotically into each other to the tunes of Zero 7's Futures. The downtempo pop is catchy but the visuals alone are worth the experience.

DVNO by Justice

If you want music to dance with and make the girls sweat, I recommend four capital letters: DVNO.

Golden Cage by The Whitest Boy Alive

Golden Cage is a relaxed indie rock track with a stream of consciousness animated video involving doors opening out of doors and people falling through their skateboards.

Joy Comes In The Morning by Xploding Plastix

Xploding Plastix's electronic jazz often sounds like the soundtrack for an action thriller. So it just makes sense that the video for Joy Comes in the Morning is an action packed duel between a bunny controlling a giant robot and a cat monster. It makes the song sound more like the soundtrack for an animated short instead of the animation seeming like a video for the song.

If I Had A Heart by Fever Ray

Cliptip's post tells me "If you were waiting for a new The Knife record, you will be pleased with the debut of Fever Ray." I am waiting for a new The Knife record, and If I Had a Heart is satisfying. The video's slow, organic, dark visuals mirror those qualities in the song.

Staring At The Sun by TV On The Radio

TV on the Radio's first big hit was Staring at the Sun, is at base a catchy pop tune, distorted and layered with effects to become something unique. The video mirrors the song, messing with the band-playing-the-song formula using images of the performers as a base for experimenting with colorful effects.

Bleep #1 by MOTOR

Today's video wants you to have a seizure, so be careful when watching Bleep #1. The song itself wants me to dig up an Atari 2600 and shed tears of nostalgia.

Gone Daddy Gone by Gnarls Barkley

Chances are you've already heard Gone Daddy Gone, and have probably even heard Gnarls Barkley's take on it. Their video tells the tale of the doomed love a computer generated bug feels for a blue eyed girl. Also featured: many panty shots.

Butterfingers by Bomb The Bass featuring Fujiya and Miyagi

A puppet mixing board plays out Butterfingers for it's music video. It's a cute visual counterpart for a sublime trip hop tune.

Happiness by Goldfrapp

Goldrapp's video is an interesting look at Happiness. The song is a bouncy fun tune, with lyrics that shift between quick solutions to finding happiness and sober reminders of just how difficult it is to find. The video fits these themes pretty well, especially at the end. A joyous crowd celebrates while an elderly couple is ignored when they have trouble getting the man's wheelchair up on the curb.
