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.

DONALD TRUMP & DEMOCRACY

Mother Jones was founded to do journalism differently. We stand for justice and democracy. We reject false equivalence. We go after stories others don’t. We’re a nonprofit newsroom, because the kind of truth-telling investigations we do doesn’t happen under corporate ownership.

And we need your support like never before, to fight back against the existential threats American democracy faces. Fundraising for nonprofit media is always a challenge, and we need all hands on deck right now. We have no cushion; we leave it all on the field.

It’s reader support that enables Mother Jones to report the facts that are too difficult, expensive, or inconvenient for other news outlets to uncover. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
