Vampire Weekend – “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa”

In which the New York band soundtracks some super-awkward party moments at a fancy pad. Don’t miss the dreamy shot of lead singer Ezra Koenig superimposed over rolling ocean waves. Swoon!

The Carribbean – “The Go from Tactical”

In which the DC quartet’s melancholy tune is illustrated by the cutest little robots you ever did see. It’s like Wall-E without the budget!

After the jump: a very long walk and some rather high jumps.

The Streets – “The Escapist”

In which UK-based Mike Skinner takes his band name seriously, hitting the road for some quality walkathons in a cute pair of pink shorts. Somebody give him a ride!

Spiritualized – “You Lie You Cheat”

In which the UK combo’s noisy triple-time rock number gets accompanied by footage taken with what must have been a very sturdy camera.

PLEASE—BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things it doesn’t like—which is most things that are true.

We’ll say it loud and clear: At Mother Jones, no one gets to tell us what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please do your part and help us reach our $150,000 membership goal by May 31.
