Video Flow, Vol. 16

Howdy everybody;
It's Friday afternoon, and that means it's time (once again) for me to round up the twenty most interesting new music videos I caught online this week. In this edition of Video Flow, the latest from Jónsi, Rihanna, Colin Stetson, Mary J. Blige, the Maccabees, and more.


We've got new clips from two Animal Collective offshoots this week, courtesy of Panda Bear and Prince Rama, and a video from electro project Motor featuring Depeche Mode's Martin Gore on vocals.


There's also loads of new hip-hop vids this week, featuring the likes of Drake, Mr. Muthafuckin' eXquire, Game, Lil Wayne, Asher Roth, Tyler the Creator, Young Jeezy and more.


Plus, covers galore! Three, that's right, three promos from that Franz Ferdinand covers EP, including ESG, Stephin Merritt, and...wait for it...LCD Soundsystem!
