WATCH IT: Chrysta Bell "Bird Of Flames" (Chel White, dir.)

Those hoping for a sequel to "Crazy Clown Time" will have to wait a bit longer, but David Lynch fans should dig the vibe of this Chrysta Bell, who perfectly plays the part of classic Lynchian chanteuse on This Train, an album length collaboration with the filmmaker. Lynch didn't direct this video, but Chel White is clearly under his influence as he delivers a cabaret performance piece that's halfway between the natural world and sci-fi. --> watch "Bird Of Flames"

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
