WATCH IT: Ernest Gonzalez "Etchasketch Trees" (Air, dir.)

Director Ariana Natale — aka Air — describes this video for Ernest Gonzalez as a dreamy dance through psychedelic realms of the subconscious, performed by modern dancer Nasim Haroun Mahdavi" which is more succinct and correct than anything I could write. --> watch "Etchasketch Trees"

WATCH IT: El Trio De Omar Rodriguez Lopez "Miercoles"

Here's a little more Spanish for ya: Mars Volta guitarist Omar Rodriguez Lopez presents his jazzy/folky/spanishy new trio El Trio De Omar Rodriguez Lopez with a stripped down performance video that is the exact opposite from the man who previously brought you this. (The alternate review of this video is: Here's a little Miercoles for your Monday.) --> watch "Miercoles"

WATCH IT: Jesse & Joy "Chocolate"

Oprah may think she's all that with her special studio set constructed entirely out of Godiva chocolate — ok, maybe her net worth of $2.7 billion also helps with the pride — but this clip is perhaps even more impressive, surely at a fraction of the budget. Director Carlos Lopez Estrada and his stop-motion animation team plays with a variety of sweet treats to create this very appropriate video for "Chocolate," by Mexican duo Jesse & Joy.
