Best Music Videos - Week 40 2013

Das Kraftwerk as das uber tuneage robots, the new painting frontier, the horrific dismembering pitfalls of millennials living off the land and an entire generation of of pop starlets quickly embracing the idea that they are virtually strippers with slick marketing teams as Best Vids turns middle age - good ol' 40 - this week of 2013. Make like a Spears and 'work bitch'.

Angel Haze - 'Echelon (It's My Way)'

NKOTB bitch, Angel Haze is all up in your shit with her barber shop trailer park stripper crew, queue the ATVs and bounce, it's fashion week every day in layer upper 'echelon'.

Jungle - 'The Heat'

Meanwhile, this is how it's done, Haze. Grab yourself a twizzler and a pair of roller-skates, there's no such thing as fashion week with jumpsuit twins in the 'jungle'.

Toro Y Moi - 'Rose Quartz'

Our brains are electric ladyland thinking about how immensely rad the world would be if paintings could live and breathe like so. One day, one day.

Gesaffelstein - 'Hate or Glory'

Oh that's cute, a good positive message for the kids out there. Though this isn't the "Death or Glory" era of The Clash, so maybe it's time for 'A Clockwork Orange'-style anti-violent montage like so?

Britney Spears - 'Work Bitch'

It's no tongue-on-hammer twerk, and she's still trying to fake a British accent for some insane reason, but you have to give it to Spears and her exploding stripper ninjas for keeping the industry's rising pop whores in check. 'You want a Maserati? You better work bitch.'

Kraftwerk Live: October 1978

Das Kraftwerk lieben das robots, fahrvergnügen. 

Twenty One Pilots - 'House of Gold'

You see what happens when millennials attempt to live off the land? Severed torsos and ukeleles, people.

Rihanna - 'Pour it Up'

So Rihanna is Two Chains now. Also, when did stripper culture become starlet protocol? Stripapalooza 2014 -> the Gaga, the Spears, the Cyrus and the Rihanna twirling on golden poles around the country. Investors, ring us up.

Faces - 'Reuben Hollebon'

Should you ever foresee a day in which your OCD manifests into measuring the distance between cooking utensils in your kitchen and the only thing that gets you off is your portly wife searing your ass with a hot iron, grab your nipples brother and breathe deeply.

Cults - 'High Road'

Can't tell if this is a car ad, a freshman's film school project de nior, a butterfly PSA, or the dope NYC indie-pop duo we fell in love with back on the xylophone twangs of "Go Outside." Or perhaps it's all three?

Let that stripper starlet palooza idea stew, though, for reals. Rock and hip-hop don't need to have all the supergroup glory. And Sinead O'Connor would get a book deal with all the letters she'd have to write.
