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.

WE'LL BE BLUNT:

We need to start raising significantly more in donations from our online community of readers, especially from those who read Mother Jones regularly but have never decided to pitch in because you figured others always will. We also need long-time and new donors, everyone, to keep showing up for us.

In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we explain, as matter-of-factly as we can, what exactly our finances look like, how brutal it is to sustain quality journalism right now, what makes Mother Jones different than most of the news out there, and why support from readers is the only thing that keeps us going. Despite the challenges, we're optimistic we can increase the share of online readers who decide to donate—starting with hitting an ambitious $300,000 goal in just three weeks to make sure we can finish our fiscal year break-even in the coming months.

Please learn more about how Mother Jones works and our 47-year history of doing nonprofit journalism that you don't find elsewhere—and help us do it with a donation if you can. We've already cut expenses and hitting our online goal is critical right now.
