The Libertines "Heart Of The Matter" (Roger Sargent, dir.)

It helps to know the Libertines backstory to really "enjoy" this new video — short version: great band, almost destroyed by core member Pete Doherty's staggering drug abuse — but you'll likely get the gist even if you're clueless. It's a truly perverse peep show, where Doherty and bandmate Carl Barat assualt their restrained doubles with drugs and violence. It should be a tough watch, but not to the paying customers on the other side of the glass who squeal with delight at the action.
