A weekend spent at Butlins, in Minehead in early December certainly sounds like the stuff that nightmares are made of but fortunately in the hands of the boys and girls of All Tomorrow's Parties, the Nightmare Before Christmas was anything but.

While a random Thursday in January saw the debut of videos from Lykke Li, No Age, and Sleigh Bells, this random Thursday in March brings the release of videos for Li's "I Know Places (Live on the Moon), Menomena's "Taos" (via Pitchfork ), and "Les Savy Fav's "Sleepless in Silverlake" . Most of us are eagerly counting down the hours to the weekend, but watching Lykke Li and her band rock the moon, or the boys of Menomena get their just desserts (wrassln' style), or a nerd attempt to woo a Marilyn Monroe clone to the sounds of Les Savy Fav make the hours taste like, um, candy. What can we say…we're weird? If you dare to be stupid, too, check out the clip from Lykke Li above and Les Savy Fav below. Stream Menomena's at P4k .

AS A KID who grew up in patches and punk houses, shoulder tapping before seven-band shows at the scummy-but-loving all-ages teahouse, I remember how it felt—alive, communal, and bursting with energy.
