WATCH IT: The Black Keys "Howlin' For You" (Chris Marrs Piliero, dir.)

Tricia Helfer is Alexa Wolf, a sexy assassin with a troubled past. She'll bang ya, but then she'll hang ya. Thus begins "Howlin' For You," an insanely great fake movie trailer of a video directed by Chris Marrs Piliero for The Black Keys. This She-Wolf takes down many a man in this clip, ranging from Shawn White to Corbin Bernsen to Sir Todd Bridges. The Black Keys, however, are smart enough to stay on her good side, serving as sher loyal, yet nicely inebriated Mariachi band. --> watch "Howlin' For You"

WATCH IT: Modest Mouse "Fly Trapped In A Jar" (Saline Project, dir.)

This candy-colored and frenetically insane performance video took a long time to get officially released — an early version of the video was leaked, then pulled, then shitcanned for a couple years, but then reworked and now released with the full blessing of Modest Mouse (and their label). The final video a day-glo vibe and cuteness that would fit in with kiddy programming, if not for the hopping mad Isaac Brock character that leads the alien band. --> watch "Fly Trapped In A Jar (An Alien Musical)"
