# Videodrome 148 – This month’s best videos
**Every month, Moritz Gayard sifts through the deluge of new music
videos so you don't have to.**
Hey kids, the 'drome is back on EB with an extra dose of high-quality
music videos. As always, there are no boundaries, so we included the
likes of Dean Blunt and Arca alongside with starlets like---you guessed
it---Jennifer Lopez and Yelle. There's also The Bug's over-the-top clip
for "Function / Void," as well as Ariel Pink's hilarious video for "Put
Your Number In My Phone." And a site note: Come and join me at Berlin's
ACUD club for a full VIDEODROME extravaganza next week Wednesday,
October 8. **UPDATE**: added this extra nice Groundislava vid at the
bottom of the page.
**#1 The Bug -- "Function / Void"**, directed by Factory Fifteen
This computer-generated sadness sums up how fucked up our world is.
Can't wait to see [Kevin Martin live][1]{: target="_blank"
rel="noopener"} tomorrow, right here in Berlin.
**#2 Metronomy -- "Month of Sundays"**, directed by Callum Cooper
I almost fell out of my chair watching this.
**#3 Young Thug -- "2 B's (Danny Glover)"**, directed by Be El Be
Finally, [Young Thug][2]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} dropped his
video for the single "2 B's" a.k.a. "Danny Glover," which also features
an appearance from Birdman.
**#4 Cibo Mato -- "Deja Vu"**, directed by Jean Claude Billmaier
Here's a lovely datamosh-y video for "Deja Vu" off Cibo Mato's 2014
comeback LP Hotel Valentine. It was shot entirely on an [Xbox
Kinect][3]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} camera.
**#5 The Juan MacLean- "A Simple Design"**, directed by Gabe Imlay &
Juliet Rios
A great video and vocals by [Nancy Whang][4]{: target="_blank"
rel="noopener"}. What else do you need?
**#6 YELLE -- "Complètement Fou"**, directed by Milord and L'Etiquette
(MAL)
Quand je me coupe, je ne saigne pas, je cicatrise. Et je te fais signe
depuis l'autre rive.
**#7 Tweedy -- "Low Key"**, directed by Nick Offerman
A [Nick Offerman][5]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}-directed Tweedy
music video featuring Michael Shannon, John Hodgman, Conan O'Brien, and
many other guest stars? Count me in!
**#8 UMA -- CALM/EASY**, directed by Ella Zwietnig
New lo-fi video for the austrian-german duo, funded by "Senat für
kulturelle Angelegenheiten der Stadt Berlin".
**#8 Ariel Pink -- "Put Your Number In My Phone"**, directed by Grant
Singer
Watch the creepy new video for the effortlessly catchy first single "Put
your number in my phone" from Ariel Pink's forthcoming album *Pom
Pom*...if you dare.
**#9 Arca -- "Thievery"**, directed by Jesse Kanda
Check out the ambiguous and cool video for "Thievery" by Venezuelan
producer Alejandro Ghersi, aka [Arca][6]{: target="_blank"
rel="noopener"}, who recently confirmed his collaboration as co-producer
on Björk's next album. Thievery is taken from his upcoming debut album
Xen, set for release in November via Mute.
**#10 Jennifer Lopez ft. Iggy Azalea -- "Booty"**, directed by Hype
Williams
Then pop that, pop that.
#0 Groundislava feat. Rare Times -- Girl Behind The Glass
, directed by The Great Nordic Sword Fights
This nice new music video for Groundislava's "Girl Behind the Glass" Is
Actually a Videogame. Interactive, you know. Tune is taken from *Frozen
Throne*, which is out now on Friends of Friends.
