Father John Misty' aka Josh Tillman's tale of an awful romantic tryst gets a video that'd be more fitting for an ode to self-love, which maybe is indeed what this song is actually all about. Literally, kind of.

Directors Brian and Brad Palmer explore a surreal, dreamlike space of lost love in this lush new video for Smashing Pumpkins. The prevailing theme is of things splitting apart and coming together into something more limitless, represented at times by some twin imagery which which might remind you of the Siamese Dream cover, or the old Virgin Records "gemini" logo.

Objects in this video may be much larger than they appear in real life. And once you see the huge dangers lurking in this foreboding city, you'll understand why the main character is on such a frantic run. 

There's no finer place or time for an epiphany or a breakdown than a late night visit to the diner....

PS: Don't tune out after the final revolution since Childish — or, one of his personalities — heads out to the woods for some darker/weirder soul searching...

Even the simplest situation can be made awfully complicated. Director Saman Kesh enlists narrator Bret Easton Ellis to solve yet another mystery for Placebo. This time we have projectile vomit, a slaphappy creep, a rash and a possibly spiked blue drink.

And, we also have some NSFW elements, so you might want to study this like a Zapruder Film in the comfort of your own home.

PS: There's a quiz at the end. Good luck.
