The music video for The Bad in Each Other, a track by Canadian crooner Feist from her latest album Metals. Director Martin de Thurah’s video fits the song’s Dylan-esque wisdom very well.

SkipPrime mixed scenes from HL2 with the darkly poetic The Dead Flag Blues, by Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Makes you wonder if Valve was listening to the track when developing the game.
