Wet Thud Video Flow, Volume Eight

Happy Friday, everybody. It's the end of another work week, and that means it's time to round up my favourite twenty videos from over the past seven days and assemble them here into a nice, neat little package for your viewing pleasure.


In this edition of Video Flow, you can check out new ones from The Black Keys, Arctic Monkeys, They Might Be Giants, and many more including not one, but two videos for R.E.M.'s soon-to-be-released farewell single. There's a very eye-catching (and probably NSFW) clip from Duck Sauce, the first solo effort from Stevie Jackson of Belle And Sebastian fame, some Johnny Depp/Ricki Lake-inspired retro nostalgia from indie favourites Man Man, and a new Cameron Crowe-directed video for Pearl Jam's 1995 single "Not For You," compiled from archival footage while producing his recent 'PJ20' documentary. All that, plus it's been about seven days since the last one, so that must mean there's another new Beyoncé video, too. (And you thought Rihanna was relentless...)


So, grab some snacks, plunk yourself down in front of your computer for the next couple of hours, and enjoy. Let's start things off with the lovely ladies of Wild Flag, who are about to encounter a baseball team made up of bears. Of course they are.
