Video View: Elbow, Guillemots and Neon Neon
We've lovingly picked our top three music videos of the week and, once again, with the help of Nate Lanxon, packed them into a tight little video jam jar, ready for you to view at your leisure. First up is 'Grounds For Divorce', the cheerfully named new single from Elbow, the video to which sees the band gigging in a classic 70s-style British boozer; 'Get Over It' is next on our list – it's the latest offering from experimental Scottish popsters Guillemots; and finally the amazing video for Neon Neon's 'I Lust U', which documents the tragic events at a jellyfish competition, had us transfixed. What are your thoughts on these? Let us know in the comments sections below.

Hi, I'm Nate Lanxon, and this is my Supercalifragilisticexpialiawesome video show.
The first video we're going to look at today is 'Grounds For Divorce' – always a hilarious subject – the brand new effort from Mancunian rock royalty Elbow.
Taken from the band's fourth studio album, The Seldom Seen Kid, 'Grounds for Divorce' was released on Monday and sees main man Guy Garvey at his snarling best. The video is available to watch in full now on mychemicaltoilet.com, and the album is out next Monday.
Next up is the latest offering from experimental Scottish popsters Guillemots, whose second album Red will be out on March 24th.
'Get Over It' sees the improbably named Fyfe Dangerfield and his band of merry idiots back on fine form, with all the melodies and hooks from the first record still evident on this outing. It comes out on March 17th.
Finally, get over to mtv.co.uk, fight your way through the rubbish and find the amazing video for Neon Neon's new single 'I Lust U'.
Featuring Welsh folkster Cate Le Bon on guest vocals alongside Super Furry Animals' frontman Gruff Rhys, the video sees producer Boom Bip enter a jellyfish competition and win, only to drop the tank at the end. All quite surreal, and supposedly a comment on celebrity sell-outs like Jordan and Peter Andrex.
'I Lust U' is taken from the album Stainless Style, which is in shops on March 17th.
Right, I'll docious-ali-expi-istic-fragil-cali-see you next week. I'm off for a drug trip in chim chimmeny chimney. See ya.
