WATCH IT: Tom Waits "Hell Broke Luce" (Matt Mahurin, dir.)

Director Matt Mahurin delivers a distinctively dark blend of gothic surrealism to this Tom Waits march about the absurd awfulness of war. The images come at a steady clip, but the main image is of Tom dragging a house through dangerous ground on a journey that could be as futile as everything else. Even if that's the case, this four minute journey is more than worth your time, since genius don't come 'round too often. --> watch "Hell Broke Luce"

WATCH IT: Falling In Reverse "Good Girls, Bad Guys" (Zach Merck, dir.)

With a concept that should be sitcom gold — What if there was a Hair Metal dude living in Compton circa Boyz N The Hood? — and a reminder that the Budweiser "Whassup" gag should be resurrected every few years, Zach Merck delivers a video that plays like a mash-up of Snoop Dogg and Blink-182. --> watch "Good Girls Bad Guys"
