# Videodrome #51 – This week’s best videos
It's been a pretty videocentric week. There's **[exclusive live footage
featuring][1]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}** **James Blake** from
last week's Electronic Beats Festival in Gdansk, which will be followed
in the next few days with live footage from **Jazzanova**,
**Squarepusher** and **Digitalism**. Earlier this week we also premiered
**Christian Löffler**'s [vid][2]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"} for
his classy track 'Feelharmonia', followed by today's music premiere for
**Tomas Barfod**'s simple but amazing ['Broken Glass'][3]{:
target="_blank" rel="noopener"}. Last but not least, here's my weekly
column. Serving you nothing but the best visuals from the last week. Now
have a break, adjust your speakers and enjoy.
**#1 Edda Magnason -- Jona** (directed by Nisse Axman)
Icelandic/Swedish singer **Edda Magnason**'s new vid is very
Scandinavian sounding. Cool and fitting video projection by Nisse Axman!
///
**#2 XXYYXX -- About You** (directed by **Jeff VASH**)
Meet **XXYYXX** (Marcel Everett), sixteen year old music maker from
Orlando, Florida. [Again][4]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}.
///
**#3 Xiu Xiu -- Honeysuckle** (directed by [Amir Shoucri][5]{:
target="_blank" rel="noopener"})
Watch band member **Angela Seo** in some mundane, daily routines, some
of it quite unsettling. The track is off **Xiu Xiu**'s latest album
*Always*, and it's pretty NSFW.
///
**#4 Prismic Delight -- Tides and Other Stuff**(directed by Al Geerken)
**Prismic Delight** is Adrian Buruca, a young producer from LA. Watching
this is like, I've never done drugs before, but I believe that this
might be what it's like.
///
**#5 Parakeet -- Paper, Scissors, Stone** (directed by **[Maria
Cecilia][6]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"}**)
Off the B-side of their self released 'Tomorrow' 7". Cosmic.
///
#6 Blood Orange -- Champagne Coast (directed by Haley
Wollens)
So good. I'm a big, big fan of **Blood Orange**. His latest 'Champagne
Coast' video features some funny dancing in computer generated rooms.
Explore.
///
#7 Toy -- Motoring (Peaking Lights Remix)
Another great A/V by one of this year's most promising bands. Their
September album release date can't come fast enough.
///
\#8 Little Boots -- Every Night I Say A Prayer (directed by [Zaiba
Jabbar][7]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"})
**Little Boots** is back! The above was created by British director
Zaiba Jabbar, who blogged today "Initially inspired by 'Paris is
Burning', we wanted to draw on the performance element and make a more
London, and abstract version."
///
**#9 M.I.A. -- Come Walk With Me** (dir.?)
New stuff from **M.I.A.** which sounds like early '90s eurotrash -- her
new album *MATANGI* will be out this summer maybe?
///
**#10 Grapefruit -- Phase Accidents** (directe by [Charlie Salas
Humara][8]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"})
From the self-titled album on **Field Hymns Records**.
///
**#11 Lower Dens -- Propagation** (directed by [Sebastian
Mlynarski][9]{: target="_blank" rel="noopener"})
Not the type of music I usually listen to, but kinda nice. This one's
off their latest album *Nootropics* which is available in stores today
though Domino.
///
**#12 Caged Animals -- This Summer I'll Make It Up To You** (dir.?)
[#12 Caged Animals -- This Summer I'll Make It Up To You][9]{:
target="_blank" rel="noopener"} (dir.?
New visuals from the Brooklyn indie pop group. Yeah, Brooklyn definitely
doesn't have enough of those.
///
**#13 Alice Cohen -- Jungle of Vines** (directed by [Amy Ruhl][10]{:
target="_blank" rel="noopener"})
From the **16 Tambourines** cassette release *Wild Vines and Tenement
Shrines*, downloadable via Vimeo.
