Videodrome #49 – This week’s best videos
New week, new video-joy. This week it’s a 10+ video list, as there were really a bunch of cool videos out recently. Take your time and dive through this audio/visual potpourri called V I D E O D R O M E:
#1 Outer Limitz – I Kontact (directed by Donald Andrews)
This was posted by our pal Aram L. on his Facebook wall, just after we stumbled over Hippos In Tanks soundcloud. Once again we gotta admit: Hippos never fail. “G-gimme that, g-gimme that I Kontact!”

Avec Sans is hailing from London and they’re pretty new to the game. This is their first ever tune, a cover of Bon Iver’s original – minus his acoustic guitar but floured with some serious synths.

Zhala is the new Lykke Li. (and her former/current background singer)
