...or de-celebrate, we suppose, here are our favorite videos of the year so far that didn't get much love from good ole' MTV.
Phil's Picks
Cold War Kids - Hang Me Up To Dry:
Phil says: "The whole movie-as-music-video thing has been worked to death (Maroon 5 did it recently to very shitty effect, for example), but never has it been done so gorgeously. It's like The Godfather starring Clap Your Hands Say Yeah."
