WATCH IT: JP/Chrissie "If You Let Me" (Chris Marrs Piliero, dir.)

Without giving too much away, this is the kind of video that should appeal to fans of Twilight and/or True Blood. And yes, I guess that sentence gives away everything you need to know about this cinematic video for Chrissie Hynde's new musical endeavor, JP, Chrissie and The Fairground Boys. --> watch "If You Let Me"

WATCH IT: M.I.A. "XXXO" (M.I.A., dir.)

Swans, Unicorns... If only there was a Double Rainbow. This video for the new M.I.A. single "XXXO" is best described as a celebration and/or condemnation of the Internet's cheesy visual clutter, mashing up nearly every plug-in and effect out there to create a motion graphic montage that would make an Ed Hardy shirt look understated. --> watch "XXXO"

WATCH IT: Broken Social Scene "Forced To Love" (Makapoon, dir.)

Canadian alternarock supergroup of sorts Broken Social Scene bring a little organic destruction and creation to a museum in this video directed by Makapoon (aka Adam Makarenko & Alan Poon). Performance is presented as deconstructed and jagged 3-D projections, an effect made possible by a scanning technology that sounds reminiscent of that Radiohead video that was created with frickin lasers. --> watch "Forced To Love"
