Best New Videos: (10 Favs) Week 13 2013
Fantasies are intense this week, kids. We've got kama sutra aerobics, hipster power rangers, Lynchian small-town love triangles, the most confusing Japanese-pop Alice in Wonderland tale put to tape, MNDR dropping rufees in dudes' drinks, and so much more. Because, after all, what good is a week in best new vids if you can't dream a twisted sonic dream?
Matt & Kim - 'It's Alright'
Ah, so this is the secret to Matt & Kim's robot-endurance cheer - clothed kama sutra aerobics. Perhaps their onstage chemistry is a necessary release for an epic bout of blue balls?

The Secret Love Parade - 'The Victorians are Here'
A long time ago, in a galaxy not far away, color-coded concrete jungle ninjas ruled the lands. Or it could be a hipster Power Rangers spin-off, in which enemies are fought with dance. Equally rad.
Wavves - 'Demon to Lean On'
A little played-out Mad Maxian/Lord of the Flies action going on, but so fitting for indie-rock's most notorious I-don't-wanna-grow-up stoner to set a junkyard stage like so to pair with a song about how harrowing the real world can be.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - 'Sacrilege'
Backward white-trash hedonism at its sacrilegious finest, put together by someone who has studied the book of Lynch - seedy underbelly of some supreme small town fun.

Wangechi Muti + Santigold - 'The End of Eating Everything'
Robots, water, comets - nope. The end of the world will be haunted by dreadlocked, terrifying Santigold monsters mowing everything in their path.
Kyary Pamyu Pamyu - 'Fashion Monster'
My God Japanese people are insane. Though if you you're going to write a song called "Fashion Monster," we suppose this steampunk Alice In Wonderland freakout is a fantastic place to start. Who do you think's on the other line of the gold Batphone?
Rex The Dog - 'Do You Feel What I Feel'
Black, it's the new black. What does one have to consume to cry tears of black? Or is this some dystopian glam mindfuck we'll never understand made by some prick film school student we won't ever be as creative as?
Landshapes - 'In Limbo'
Holy shit, those lands are populated. It's a good thing they have professional wrestling to entertain themselves, and keep the dreams of young, third-world women alive and strong.
TokiMonsta feat. MNDR - 'Go With It'
MNDR can take us on a rabbit-hole, virtual reality trip any day, especially if it involves wooded dream-girl chase scenes, forever and ever and ever. The future of therapy right here. Dude got mind date-raped.
Scale back now, to that Kyary Pamyu Pamyu moment again, and really, think about what kind of magical person must be important enough be on the other end of the gold Batphone, in the middle of that furry nightmare? Lock that answer up and keep it in a safe place the next time you feel sad.
