Neato Viddys on the Intertubes

No Top Ten this week since I was back home in Nebraska for the weekend (I'll have a posting on a snazzy new Omaha music venue later this week), but in the meantime enjoy some new music video clips, and one that's not so new but still very good.

Kanye West – “Stronger”
In which Kanye West invites Daft Punk (whose “Harder Better Faster Stronger” is sampled prominently) to watch him emerge from a weird EKG-looking machine in bulge-enhancing briefs, and then dance around in a denim vest and louvered sunglasses while Japanese subtitles explain it all

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – “Rockers to Swallow”
In which a leotard-sporting Karen O performs the band's new song (from Is Is, out July 23rd) in front of funhouse mirrors to an appreciative crowd, filmed by what appears to be surveillance cameras

Ali Love – "Secret Sunday Lover"
In which the young British singer (featured on the new Chemical Brothers single, “Do It Again”) imagines himself in a kind of campy spy-slash-disco movie. He even gets the girl at the end

Interpol – “The Heinrich Maneuver”
In which director E. Elias Merhige portrays a surreal, slowed-down (and possibly reversed) Los Angeles street scene (apparently referencing the song's bitterness towards a West Coast ex-lover) complete with eye-rolling “surprise” ending which almost ruins it

Sonic Youth – “Teenage Riot”
The original video, in which the band perform the “hit” from their just-rereleased masterpiece Daydream Nation. Also featuring, um, everyone from Pee Wee Herman to Sun Ra
