Of course, Gaga would move the release of her new video for "Yoü & I" from Thursday to today, Madonna's birthday, just to rub it in her face.

Bitch.

Just kidding. Probably just a coincidence. Right? Like how "Born This Way" coincidentally sounds like "Express Yourself".

Anyway, it's all forgiven because, even though I can't stand this song, this video is Lady Gaga's best videos since "Bad Romance", believe me.

Think Shania Twain meets Marylin Manson. We see Gaga in all sorts of Frankenstein-ian scenarios with her sexy male model lover. She's got bionic limbs! She's being electrocuted! She's a mermaid! It's all a very stylized version of kink, if you ask me. And it serves nicely as a metaphor for the lengths you would go through for a lover. After all, the song is about her on-again-off-again boyfriend, so who know how many times she's felt she had to "change" for him. Or, how many times she's felt he's brought her back to life, if we continue with the Frankenstein's monster theme.

But, what's more revealing is Gaga, in near-nude makeup, at the piano, seranading herself, dressed in drag. After all, who can love Gaga, more than Gaga herself?

There is a lot going on in this video, and after the WTF-ness of her past efforts from Born This Way, it's nice to see her return to her music video making prowess.

One of my favourite signers, Oh Land, has really outdone herself with her new video for "White Nights".

One of the standout tracks from her solid debut, "White Nights" is a lovely song about dreams and fantasies. So, of course, the crafty Oh Land would film a video with elaborate costumes, sets and choreography to go along with it. 

It seems like Oh Land has some pretty rad dreams. From swimming with glitter-covered girls to dancing in weird animal costumes and with rejected Black Eyed Peas dancers, she's got some pretty fun imaginings. 

And am I the only one who thinks she looks like January Jones with her short hair?

OK Go have become renowned for their music videos. And just when you think they can't come up with a new gimmick, they do, and it rocks.

I mean, kaleidescopic effects are one thing. Tightly chorographed dance sequences are another. But, when you meld the two together, it becomes something incredible. 

Honestly, the video is just plain mesmerizing. And, just when you think there's nothing more to it, they start spelling messages with their feet. 

Sure, it looks a little Human Centipede at times, but it's definitely worth watching. Also, play with the fun interactive version here!

There are few creative relationships that prove to be symbiotic for both parties, while still producing work that is captivating and original.

For Björk, her exploration in sound is matched by Michel Gondry's whimsical visual style.

For their 8th music video together, Michel uses arts & crafts materials, stop-motion animation and colourful 2D animation to bring Björk's new single "Crystalline" to life. 

It reminds me of those random vignettes you used to see on Sesame Street, but during a bad acid trip or something. Definitely another fine addition to the Björk-Gondry canon of work.

While it's definitley not the first time this has been done, I have to give props to the Beastie Boys and Spike Jonez for taking the whole toys-in-music-videos genre to the next level. I mean, this is pretty much what I would do every Saturday morning from the age of 9-14. Yes, I played with my action figures till I was 14. 

Anyway, "Don't Play No Game That I Can't Win", featuring my fave, Santoigold, has it all. Assisinations attempts, snowmobile gun chases, zombies, sharks, helicopter fights, submarine attacks, and a Yeti.

Basically, I don't even know what the song really sounds like, but I love this video.
