Best Videos of 2010 (Nos. 30-21)

30.  Simian Mobile Disco - Sweetbread


Any vegetarians viewing this page may want to skip this video.

29.  Yeasayer - Madder Red


Beauty in ugliness.

28.  The Morning Benders - Promises


Hipster youth run amok.  Nice blending of Bonnie and Clyde and Breathless.

27.  The Hundred In The Hands - Pigeons


Interesting video capturing the experience of a night of partying gone bad.

26.  How To Destroy Angels - The Space Between


Although I don't care for the song or their EP all that much, this was one of the most strikingly shot videos of the year.

25.  Crystal Castles - Celestica


There is nothing particularly innovative or amazing about this video, however, it does perfectly capture the essence and feeling of the song.  And any excuse to gaze on the loveliness that is Alice Adams is a bonus.

24.  Massive Attack - Psyche

MASSIVE ATTACK - Psyche (Feat. Martina Topley Bird) from Masha Frolova on Vimeo.


Gorgeous and haunting (no pun intended) video for the standout track from Massive Attack's album Heligoland.  A little girl taunted by ghosts takes matters into her own hands.    For some reason, Massive Attack remade the video and distanced themselves from this version.  I feel this video is vastly superior and more in keeping with the tense nature of the song.

23.  Liars - Scissor


Brutal video.  

22.  Klaxons - Twin Flames

Klaxons - Twin Flames NSFW from BlindPig on Vimeo.


NSFW video from Klaxons.  A perverse erotic tableau that is very difficult to watch and very difficult to get out of your head.

21.  Lykke Li - Get Some


Apparently Lykke Li was mad that people kept referring to her music as twee, so she comes back with this tribal song and video.  She scares me.
