30 Seconds To Mars "Up In The Air" (Bartholomew Cubbins, dir.)

Thirty Seconds To Mars - Up In The Air

One thing about Thirty Second To Mars and director Bartholomew Cubbins — who is to 30STMs  singer Jared Leto as Wolf Haley is to Tyler The Creator — is that they know how to go big. And "Up In The Air" is massive in every way — the intro, the interlude, the location and the collaborators, which runs the gamut of several A-list circles.

Is Tropical "Dancing Anymore [NSFW]" (Megaforce, dir.)

IS TROPICAL - "Dancing Anymore" / NEW SINGLE!

The intro is basically a flip-flop of the classic porn trope: Instead of the hunky poolboy who comes to unclog a drain, both with the pool and the previously demure housewife, we get a dorky boy left in care of the house (and pool) by a sexy housewife.

His imagination runs wild and he winds up rummaging through drawers and then his own drawers (if you catch my drift).

Bastille "Laura Palmer" (Austin Peters, dir.)

Bastille - Laura Palmer

Despite the lack of a log lady, this video takes some unexpected twists as director Austin Peters goes a bit meta: What looks like a fairly stock performance video with trendy VHS camcorder touches,  random outlaw b-roll characters, and even some "hey, we're making a video" behind-the-scenes stills becomes something else entirely when those random folks storm the set, kidnaps Bastille singer Dan Smith and decide to make their own damn video.
