WATCH IT: MSTRKRFT "Heartbreaker"

Is there anything more beautiful than finding love in the dollar store? Other than a bargain on a nice Jesus figurine, obviously. Director Vincent Haycock presents a fantastical night at a kitschy value store for this new track from Toronto electronic duo MSTRKFT featuring John Legend. None of them are in the video, but we do get a simple, yet sweet story: A young hipster courts the girl behind the counter, while his friends create a party vibe among the cluttered racks full of cheap stuff. All good, so long as they don't wake the boss from his siesta. --> watch "Heartbreaker" (Quicktime)

WATCH IT: Seether "Careless Whisper"

Director Tony Petrossian pays homage to the glorious 8-bit animation of classic video games in this video for Seether's similarly nostalgic cover of the 1984 Wham hit "Careless Whisper." Most of the game spoofs have Seether character fighting modern day ills — Wall Street greed, swine flu, environmentally irresponsible companies, terrorism, Donald Rumsfeld — but get depicted in recreations of such old school Atari hits as QBert, Dig Dug and Pitfall. --> watch "Careless Whisper"

WATCH IT: Mastodon "Oblivion"

The metal space rangers of Mastodon explore the further reaches of the solar system in this sci-fi fantasy directed by Roboshobo. Unfortunately, things become highly irregular — and, let's face it, metalheads probably don't make the best astronauts. An airlock gets left open and disaster ensuues.  --> watch "Oblivion"
