KRADDY - "ANDROID PORN" (MOCHIPET REMIX) - MUSCLEBEAVER

After watching this video we feel like a couple of tweaked-out, Log Cabin, Republican Congressmen after leaving a gay night-club to drive home drunk to our sleeping wife and kids. Try and make sense of that while making sense of this video. Is your mind blown?

HYBRID - "BREAK MY SOUL" - DIR. MIKE TRUMAN

This video is notable for being nicely shot on the Canon 7D, nicely edited with overlapping opacity layers and for all being done by Hybrid's very own Mike Truman.

"INSTRUMENTAL VIDEO NINE" - BY BEEPLE

When we close our eyes and listen to electronic music this video by Beeple is exactly how we would imagine it is made.

OK GO - "THIS TOO SHALL PASS" - DIR. JAMES FROST

Ok Go just upped their own anty on one-off videos by building a massive Rube Goldberg machine... and paying for it with corporate sponsorship. The video, directed by James Frost (noted for his Radiohead "House of Cards" video), was shot in an Echo Park warehouse and reportedly took 60 takes to get a perfect cycle.

On a side note:
We would love to see a foundation like Canada's MuchFACT created in the US to support the future of music video. We think it's an important aspect of promotion for new and established acts, as well as for the development of emerging directors, that should not die with the demise of MTV. This video, and the rapid-fire transmission of it around the Internet, proves the importance of the medium. We hope State Farm Insurance and other sponsors would see the importance of establishing such a foundation.

LESLIE EARLY - "YOUR CAR" - DIR. SOOJIN KWON

A nice hand-drawn animation for a change. The song "Your Car" is about an old Honda Civic Leslie Early drove in high school. "It was red, had no air conditioning, and only a radio/cassette deck."
