Art vs Science "Creature Of The Night" (James Chappell, dir.)

"Creature of The Night is guaranteed to get dance floors and festival crowds cranking and its wildly imaginative clip, influenced equally by the likes of Michel Gondry, Terry Gilliam and The Mighty Boosh, perfectly demonstrates the band’s offbeat sense of humour.

Complete with a dancing sunflower, fire breathers, morphsuits, choreographed dance sequences and  mind-bending optical illusions, the clip is the perfect visual precursor to Art vs Science’s electrifying Creature of The Night tour." - Music Feeds

A Virtual Cube of Music Videos for The Presets

We all know that videos don't need to be passive — in fact, Mashable thinks that all videos will be interactive soon enough — and they don't need to fit in the traditional 16x9 HD screen shape (or, god forbid, the dreaded 2x3 iPhone vertical). So, behold The Cube: A six sided virtual object you can manipulate with different images and audio on each surface. 

Pretty cool... even though it makes me wish for a virtual Rubik's Cube video...

Miley Cyrus and Wayne Coyne Deliver a Very Odd and Very NSFW Short Film

Maybe Miley Cyrus felt like she needed to follow-up last night's NBC concert special with something a bit more risque. Well, mission accomplished. Any parent who felt relieved by the more wholesome/fun prime time Miley, will likely be running for cover from this short film she made with Flaming Lips mad genius Wayne Coyne. We're talking serious NSFW: Drugs, nudity, cursing and all sorts of other bad stuff. There's a loose narrative involving Miley's missing brain, Moby and boobs, but it's best to let Wayne himself explain [via Rolling Stone]:

"The video story is something like this: Moby is an evil, power-hungry cult leader. He wants the world's most valuable (according to our story) psychedelic supernatural possession... John F. Kennedy's brain....the brain contains the original formula for the drug LSD!!!

Miley Cyrus has the magic brain!!! And Moby enlists a nympho Manson girl-type blonde superfreak to go steel the brain from Cyrus.

She steals the brain from Cyrus while Cyrus is still in bed in a drug-induced coma. Cyrus finally wakes up and is mega-pissed that her BRAIN has been stolen. She enlists a burned-faced Santa and a lesbian Bigfoot ( that are hovering in a nearby spaceship) to hunt down the blond superfreak that stole her brain. They have a relentless pursuit, all the while Cyrus laments the loss of her magic brain and Moby gains powerful rainbows from hell. In the end, the blond superfreak kills Santa and Bigfoot and a baby mole ends up with the brain…" 

Oh yeah. And the Flaming Lips are disguised as rainbows, mushrooms and flowers watching from the sky room where a giant diamond explosion happens."

Daniel James "Ain't No Money" (Mark Jenkinson, dir.)

Marky J brings out the animal(s) in Daniel James’s raw and gospel-tinged new single “ain’t no money”. We watch our corrupt cooperate company-straddling villain being followed and threatened by a herd of bizarre, weird and wonderful taxidermy animals as he stumbles and trips through the streets of East London. Shot with real cinematic ambition there is almost a voodoo undercurrent that unsettles this film leading our man to his inevitable conclusion.
