WATCH IT: Yeasayer "Madder Red" (Andreas Nilsson, dir.)
The bald hairy rotund slimeball dating the hot young starlet is classic Hollywood. Director Andreas Nilsson's tale for this Yeasayer video is similar to that, but blown out to full wackiness with an actual hairy testicular-shaped creature capturing the heart of actual starlet Kristen Bell.
Andreas Nilsson, director: "I had a friend who worked as a shepherd. One day after work at the pub he told me a story. He had delivered a sheep. But the sheep was highly deformed. It looked like a huge hairy testicle with just a small mouth, one eye and a leg. The little guy wasn’t a stillborn; he was waving nervously with his little arm, like he was saluting the world, celebrating his arrival. ‘Hello world, I’m here.’ A colleague of his kicked the sheep, smashing into a wall, sadly his life took a quick turn.
It was a heartbreaking story, a story about not fitting in, and cruelty of life. I’ve wanted to do something based on this character for a while. Yeasayer was the right moment". [source]

WATCH IT: MGMT "Flash Delirium" (Andreas Nilsson, dir.)
It's like The Shining, but instead of creepy twins and hallways of blood, it's your oddball extended family, trying to surprise and delight you with good cheer. In other words: It's horrifying, even without considering the ventriloquism interlude. But, none of that initial weirdness can compare to the moment MGMT member Ben Goldwasser reveals the music that can be made with a slit throat, especially when there's a parasitic worm to help carry the tune. It's a delirious sort of twist in an equally delirio-psychedelic video, but exactly what you'd want from the return of MGMT and director Andreas Nilsson. --> "Flash Delirium"

VID COMMENTARY: Lenny Kravitz/Justice "Let Love Rule"
Having elucidated the Manchester Orchestra "Shake It Out" video for us, directors Isaac Rentz and Keith Schofield are at it again with this joint commentary over and about Schofield's acclaimed video for the Justice remix of Lenny Kravitz "Let Love Rule." It's basically everything you've ever wanted to know about this video, but weren't aware you could ask.
I vote for Rentz/Schofield as the Siskel/Ebert of music video commentaries. Or at least the Lyons/Mankiewicz.

PS: Very big thanks to both Keith Schofield and Isaac Rentz!!
