WATCH IT: Kylie Minogue "Timebomb" (Christian Larson, dir.)

The performance never ends for pop legend Kylie Minogue. She saunters off the video set, but she never stops vamping for the cameras, be it a street surveillance cam or a stolen iPhone. Director Christian Larsen keeps up with Minogue's quick pace, even when she hops into a Porsche and then a motorcycle, heading into Chinatown for a rendezvous that's clearly headed toward something explosive. --> watch "Timebomb"

WATCH IT: Coldplay "Paradise" (Shynola, dir.)

Directing collective Shynola is most known for their animated work on clips by artists like Radiohead and Junior Senior. In this new verion of Coldplay's "Paradise," they keep it live action and grimy. Sure, the little girl star of the clip is impossibly cute, but she is caught up in a narrative that mixes in (un)healthy doses of Don You Go Roun Roun to Re Ro style Brit gangster menace.
