Arcade Fire "Money + Love" (David Wilson, dir.)

A twofer of a video for Everthing Now tracks "Put Your Money On Me" and "We Don't Deserve Love." The "Money" side is a bit more fun, featuring a cameo by Toni Collette as the corporate exec who lures the band into crass commercialization — perhaps as a means to pull off a casino heist? — but the lonesome "Love" side might prove to be more resonant in the long run.

Dornik "Drive" (Sam Pilling, dir.)

Sam Pilling, director: " wanted the visuals to juxtapose the song so decided to set the video at night and to film it in quite a raw, off the cuff way, rather than a more obvious, smooth approach. Dornik wanted the video to be about having fun, good vibes and a sense of release so we constructed a story that had those upbeat elements but also had a slightly darker undertone too.

Arcade Fire "We Exist" w/ Andrew Garfield (David Wilson, dir.)

Off goes the hair, on goes the bra and so Spider-Man actor Andrew Garfield's gender-swap journey begins...

A honky tonk crowd greets him with uneasy stares that, of course, leads to outight brutality. But, there's an escape hatch of music, even if it's just in his mind...  Soaring choreography transports him from the on-the-floor pummeling to a place where his tormentors are nothing more that a dance troupe ushering him to heaven, which in this case is a catharctic climax on-stage with Arcade Fire.

Hopefully he's also up there rocking with Hedwig...

John Legend "Who Do We Think We Are" (Paul Gore, dir.) -NSFW-

If you had John Legend in your "Someday even he will make a NSFW video" pool, then congratulations: You likely hit a big payday.

But, don't think the soul crooner has gone tawdry. This is a gorgeous video, like an old-school fashion pictorial come-to-life that will satisfy film nerds (look at that grain) and those who clearly don't read Playboy for the articles. And playing the role of a suaver, better dressed is John Legend, the coolest dude at a most sophisticated and sexy party. With naked women. Everywhere. And not another dude in sight. Except for Rick Ross, who would normally qualify as the coolest dude at the party, but he seems to exist in a dreamscape here. Or, maybe he's just either outside.

And, ps, I have $20 on Josh Groban in my "NSFW someday" pool.
