Videodrome #41 – This week’s best videos

Hey Videodrome lovers, here’s the latest edition of our weekly music video update, with new videos from Santigold, Dapayk & Padberg, ZZT, Jessie Ware, Pixelord and many more. Have fun:

#1 Santigold – Disparate Youth (dir.?)

I am with Santi: “No one wants to be real anymore. Wikipedia is always wrong. No one fact checks and it’s not even a priority. Reality TV is more popular than ever, and it’s the fakest thing ever. Where is there place for truth in all of that? My record is called Master of My Make-Believe because I want it to be about creating your own reality.”

If you’re into gerontology or geriatrics, then all you need is to turn to classic, grand scale theories of human development or simply watch this video from manifesto-driven music manipulators Metamono.
