# Videodrome 116 – This week’s best videos
**Every week, Moritz Gayard rounds up the best new music videos, so you
don't have to.**
Following [last week's mainstream-laden Videodrome][1]{:
target="_blank"} (Miley anyone?), this week we are about to continue
with a small portion of top of the pops videos (MGMT, Dizzee Rascal,
Tegan & Sara) combined with a handful of cutting edge videos by
emerging artists such as FKA twigs, Blood Orange, Jef
Barbara, Strangefruit. Have fun. Seriously.
**#1 Blood Orange -- "Chamakay"**, directed by Adam Bainbridge
This week [Dev Hynes][2]{: target="_blank"} is mah man. Here's the next
excellent track with an equally cool video. And check his fashion. Dev's
just miles ahead.
**#2 MGMT -- "Cool Song No. 2"**, directed by Isaiah Seret
Here's the second video for [MGMT][3]{: target="_blank"}'s self-titled,
third album which dropped yesterday via Sony. Pretty dark visual
aesthetics, aided by an appearance by [*The Wire*][4]{:
target="_blank"}'s Omar (Michael K. Williams), which are kind of fitting
to the surprisingly catchy tune.
**#3 Au Revoir Simone -- "Crazy"**, directed by Alex Braverman &
Poppy de Villeneuve
The sweet girls from [Au Revoir Simone][5]{: target="_blank"} are back
with a new album, named *Move In Spectrums*, which is full of beautiful
lush pop songs. "Crazy" got a cool video treatment, where some kind of
role playing is going on.
**#4 FKA twigs -- "Papi Pacify"**, directed FKA twigs & Tom Beard
After inaugurating the marvelous [FKA twigs][6]{: target="_blank"} in
Videodrome some weeks ago, above is already the next killer video---this
time slightly NSFW.
**#5 Dizzee Rascal ft Will.I.Am "Something Really Bad"**, directed by
Henry Scholfield
Hmm, never thought that Will.I.Am will make it into my Videodrome, but
I'm down with Dizzee since I saw him [live earlier this year][7]{:
target="_blank"}. Also, Dizzee's excellent video for ["I Don't Need A
Reason"][8]{: target="_blank"} makes him worth paying attention to, no
matter who his collaborator is. Will I what?
**#6 Jef Barbara -- "About Singers"**, directed by Jef Barbara &
Jacqueline Lachance
Premiered over at always inspiring [NFOP blog][9]{: target="_blank"},
this is the next proof, that [Mr. Barbara][10]{: target="_blank"} is
about to change the game---his debut album, *Soft to the Touch* will see
the light later this year via Club Roll Music.
**#7 Knxwledge feat Blu -- "Nothesame"**, directed by Brian O Tuama,
Albert Hooi & Mark Gilligan
Smoky vid for "Nothesame" taken from the L.A. beatmaker's forthcoming
three-track *Rap Jointz Vol. 1* EP.
**#8 Strangefruit -- "GHOSTS"**, directed by Antonia Manoochehri
Nice, strobe-laden video for the debut single from London four-piece
[Strangefruit][11]{: target="_blank"}. Soon, there'll be a full album
via their very own imprint, Counterfeit Fun Records.
**#9 Terranova -- Painkiller (Rampa & Re.You Mix)**
Not long ago we had a pretty dope [Terranova][12] mix on our site. But
this is not the only reason why I picked this video, though it just
shows some screen server aesthetics. Digging the track and especially
the Rampa & Re.You rework.
**#10 Tegan And Sara -- "Goodbye, Goodbye"**, directed by Natalie Rae
Robison
This is not a 'lyric' video. It was shot in Toronto, Canada and is
filled which all we need, telephone, computer & skateboard.~
