Los Campesinos "Avocado Baby" (Craig Roberts, dir.)

In the world of TV game show hosts, Gareth is the best. Or at least he was ten years ago. He sadly drinks a lot, has let himself go and is about to be replaced by a younger version of himself. During the rehearsals for the show things get stranger and stranger until he finds himself in a casket getting carried off stage. What will Gareth do to save his job....

It's a one shot video with no cuts or blends. It took a morning to plan and rehearse and the shot chosen was the third and final take. 

WATCH IT: Simian Mobile Disco "Cerulean" (Featherstone & Samuel, dir.)

Motion graphics artists Jack Featherstone and Will Samuel create what's either an homage to 1980s video games or the best screen-saver ever. It hardly matters if you classify this as a 'real music video' or not, since the hypnotic visuals are synched to the track in a way that makes it impossioble to not watch, even if nothing much really happens. The journey of the heroic dot across the screen is relentless and engaging, enough to inspire anyone run off and play some Flash based web games.

WATCH IT: Los Campesinos "Romance Is Boring"

Don't be fooled by those Harlequin novels and sappy TV shows. Romance is boring. It's endless nights of TV, watched in silence. Beer is involved. So are tears. And it'll end in violence. Consider this required viewing for all engaged couples (or anyone who has ever been married to Charlie Sheen) from director Alex DeCampi and twee punkers Los Campesinos. --> watch "Romance Is Boring"
