Selena Gomez "Back To You" (Scott Cudmore, dir.)

A funny, freewheeling, self-aware French New Wavish anti-video — with a bit of The End of the F***ing World edge — with Selena Gomez starting a great relationship with my favorite pickup line, "Do you want to steal a car?"

N.E.R.D. & Future "1000" (Todd Tourso, Scott Cudmore, dir.)

A video that captures the chaos of our time, starting with online clips of racism, violence and other awfulness, and then transitioning to middle-section with audio of Mike Tyson, and then a defiant dance performance.

N.E.R.D. & Rihanna "Lemon" (Todd Tourso + Scott Cudmore, dir.)

Pharrell Williams resurrects his groundbreaking group N.E.R.D. with this collabo with Rihanna, who makes a hair razing (see what I did there?) cameo at the beginning before we follow our newly shorn dancer on a popping routine.

Feist "Century" (Scott Cudmore, dir.)

Best music video dance battle since the Beat It knife fight? Join Feist (and Jarvis Cocker!) under the overpass for a jittery, yet graceful and surreally beautiful face-off that might hint at the origins of existance.

Holy Fuck "Neon Dad" (Scott Cudmore, dir.)

In which our wandering hero hits the city and finds love, only to wind up exactly where he started. Oh, did I mention he's got a dismembered head along for the journey?

Travie McCoy "Golden" (Scott Cudmore, Michael Leblanc, dir.)

Sometimes your mind starts to wander when you're stuck in traffic, but so does Travie McCoy who finds himself in a circular and increasingly bizarre and bombastic journey to see what's further on up the road.

Metz "The Swimmer" (Leblanc + Cudmore, dir.)

Try not to guess the plot in “The Swimmer" — LeBlanc + Cudmore’s super-stylish punk whatever video, until you’ve watched it two or three times — the video is more a pastiche than a strictly plot-driven affair. And quite the pastiche it is! Watch as a guy gets baptised, slapped and beaten-up while taking breaks to enjoy the television or watch some kids dancing.

Belle & Sebastian "Party Line" (LeBlanc+Cudmore, dir.)

Girls in peacetime may love to dance, but that doesn't mean they plan on peacefull moving on if they don't snare their ideal dance partner....

Alt-J "Left Hand Free" (Leblanc + Cudmore, dir.)

If "Left Hand Free" is the closest Alt-J will get to beer commercial guitar, then this video is the closest they'll get to a bro's and ho's pool party. Of course, there's a twist, with sly hints at incoming danger eventually descending into assault rifle madness.

Lucius "Hey Doreen" (Leblanc + Cudmore, dir.)

Nothing — not even bowling alley Karaoke — makes an old lady feel young again like killing an unsuspecting man.

PS: The old version of Lucius is played by Julia Campanelli and Victoria Christi, both looking uncannily like the Lucius ladies.
