  1. Directed by Taylor Cohen, Otto Arsenault

    The video for "Lessons Learned" opens with Matt and Kim calmly getting out of a van in the middle of Times Square in New York City. Then they go streaking.

  2. Directed by Jonathan Glazer

    Jack and Alison in black leather shoot rounds of ammo into each other's chest. You know, like your mother.

  3. Directed by Walter Robot

    The touching animated video for the song "Grapevine Fires" features only a brief cameo of the band in its near-literal interpretation of the lyrics, but their music narrates the tale even more powerfully than watching them sing it.

  4. Directed by Adria Petty

    Anjulie falls through the sky into scene after scene in her video for "Boom." It's like Alice lost in Wonderland.

  5. Directed by Richard Ayoade

    Off with your head! A monster wearing a snazzy business suit rolls through a club knocking off heads and spilling confetti streams of blood while the Yeah Yeah Yeahs sing "Heads Will Roll." Who knew carnage could be so festive?

  6. Directed by Joe Perota

    Kid Cudi turned his catchy debut single into a pop art masterpiece! Cudi walks around town in his "Day N' Nite" video watching everything transform into colorful animation.
