The Drums "Magic Mountain" (The Drums, dir.)

Magic Mountains? Magic Mushrooms? Who knows, except that this is a glassy and stately wander through the wilderners (with swords), presented like a classic b/w film. There's also an ending dedication to Elizabeth Taylor, which makes me think a film buff with a serious Criterion fetish can tell us what inspired this video, sicne it's clearly not Game Of Thrones

Lily Allen "As Long As I Got You" (Chris Sweeney, dir.)

Saying the new Lily Allen video was shot around her appearance at legendary UK festival Glastonbury may have you thinking: self-indulgent, boring, live crowd, etc. Not with Lily Allen, who has a lifelong personal connection to the fest, having attended every year since she was a little kid, and a greater interest in showing the people and the vibe than a heroic look-at-me performance. 

It's kind of like Woodstock, but without any mention of the toilets or the brown acid.
