David Bowie "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)" (Floria Sigismondi, Dir.)

David Bowie - The Stars (Are Out Tonight)

The siren song of rock 'n' roll comes calling again for David Bowie, tempting him from his "nice life" with his lovely wife into something filled with more madness and more sex. Can he resist? Well, we already know the answer to that, but director Floria Sigismondi brings the mixed emotions to the surface in this slightly NSFW video starring Bowie alongside Tilda Swinton as his wife.

Lianne La Havas "Gone" (Colin Solal Cardo, Dir.)

Lianne La Havas - Gone (Official Video)

Director Colin Solal Cardo hails from La Blogoteque, which specializes in performance videos that truly capture the sense of discovery and surprise that usually gets lost in translation when music hits film. "Gone" is more of a narrative clip, but there's still plenty of mystery and magic as you need to stay tuned until the end to figure out what's happened to the lovely Lianne La Havas.

What Was It? RYAN PATRICK CUMMINGS

Dance artist Ryan Patrick Cummings pays homage to graphic designer Peter Corriston — best know for creating the album art for Physical Graffiti, Some Girls and lots more — in this video that's styled just like a record cover, right down to the shrinkwrap and promo stickers.

Interactive alpha channel Tanlines Video

The interface for this interactive Tanlines video by OKFocus will be familiar if you've ever fumbled around with Photoshop. Insert layers, swap backgrounds, use filters and futz about to your heart's content. Ever time you add or subtract a band member or instruments it affects the track, which basically means you can remix the audio/video in real time. Cool.
