The rigors of travel get perilous for our protagonist [hope he gets hazard pay] in the latest from Tame Impala, which may make you think twice about your next plane ride...
It's never a good idea to cheat on your cult leader. Especially if he has the abs of Alexander Skarsgard. The True Blood actor stars in this new video, showing a fondness for robes and women.
Remember being in school, getting stoned with the hot teacher in her car and then taking her to cartoonish erotic heights? Yeah, me neither. But, it's a good fantasy. And a good video.

Here's the problem with bullying nerds: You never know if they're capable of building a robot suit and coming back to kick your ass like Iron Man 3. --> watch "Take Me Over"

Don't get hypnotized by those introductory kaleidoscopes, because director Jared Eberhardt keeps taking this Beni clip to unexpected places. The motif is actually a troupe of nearly naked women — festooned with what looks like fawn-tail merkin and various projection/video treatments. There's also a recurring skull image that makes sense in an ending sequence that discofies Dali's naked lady skull. --> watch "Someone Just Like You"
Rapture singer Luke Jenner lassoes a crumpled mylar food bag and rides it through Brooklyn, held aloft by the power of two shofar and shell blowing pseudo-Hasids. Only in Brooklyn, kids, only in Brooklyn. --> watch "Sail Away"

Things are quite sneaky in this seemingly, yet not really NSFW video for Australian dance act Sneaky Sound System. There's shadowplay that looks downright nasty but turns out to be chaste enough when the lights get turned on, while a series of phallic and/or double-entoudre items get displayed to make this the cheekiest (no pun intended) video since "Cherry Pie". --> watch "We Love"
