Videodrome 90 – This week’s best videos
Here we go! The unstoppable V.I.D.E.O.D.R.O.M.E. turns 90 today. 90. And still the stream of fresh music videos remains unstemmable. This week we dive into the audiovisual depths with videos from Misfit Mod, Kendrick Lamar, Mark Ernestus and many more. Entertainment starts below:
#1 Misfit Mod – Cars, directed by Ed Lust
New Zealand’s Sarah Kelleher has just unwrapped “Cars” from her debut album Islands & Islands—released last week on boutique label Stars and Letters. Enjoy the kaleidoscopic and stiletto-adorned extravaganza above.

#2 Gramme – Laugh Out Loud, dir?
Joe Goddard of Hot Chip fame put it this way: “Gramme are amazing and have influenced Hot Chip a lot over the years, it just sounds great when they play together”. Same goes for this small budget video, which is highly entertaining and relies on nothing but the band performance.

Good to see that Diplo isn’t taking himself too seriously. Watch this piss-take video with a serious beat and some M.I.A. meets rave influences. Nice animations on top.
