QUICK CLIP: Brilliant Colors "Round Your Way" (Jess Scott/Kevin McCarthy, dir.)

San Francisco noise pop band Brilliant Colors in a DIY video — co-directed by the band's singer Jess Scott with Kevin McCarthy, both of whom put out a collection of flyer art together — that's as rough-hewn, soft-edged, fuzzy, gritty and all sorts of other conflicting things. --> watch "Round Your Way"

WATCH IT: Lenny Kravitz "Stand" (Paul Hunter, dir.)

Lenny Kravitz enjoys a bit of a "Hey Ya" moment in this freewheeling video parody of a rigged '70s gameshow where he takes on multiple roles and generally cuts loose in a way that's as unexpected as the song itself. This director's cut takes a few dialogue breaks and reprises the song in a credits sequence that features some outtakes in the Cannonball Run Outtake format. --> watch "Stand"
