[![Black-dog-intro](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201901c06b210970b-150wi "Black-dog-intro")](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e201901c06b210970b-popup?ref=hypebot.com)

An assortment of recent music videos were promoted or described as having racy material but, despite a selection that includes the old guard, David Bowie, the young contender, Jack Conte, and a crowdsourced world of cursors, an air of disappointment reigns. Certainly no attempts here to shock anyone that doesn't have their shock button set on automatic.

**David Bowie – The Next Day**

David Bowie's "Explicit" video that requires a YouTube sign-in to verify age has some blood but is far from the "[Adult-Only](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/earshot/david-bowie-video-gets-adult-520073?ref=hypebot.com)" fest promised by The Hollywood Reporter.

By director Floria Sigismondi and [Black Dog Films](http://www.blackdogfilms.com/?ref=hypebot.com), the music video for "The Next Day" is as disappointing as the song, feelling a bit lifeless by the end.

**Jack Conte – Pedals**

Jack Conte shows us why he needs that [support from Patreon](https://www.hypebot.com/jack-conte-unlocks-superfan-revenue-streams-for-web-stars-with-patreon/) to meet his video budget. A lot of work went into the video for "Pedals!"

So much work that he released a beind-the-scenes video as well:

**Pedals Behind the Scenes**

Gizmodo's Mario Aguilar [has trouble deciding](http://gizmodo.com/how-jack-conte-made-a-completely-batshit-diy-music-vid-496483989?ref=hypebot.com) which video is "crazier: the music video or the behind-the-scenes describing how the music video was made":

"According to the behind-the scenes film, Conte worked on the set for the video for his new song 'Pedals' 16 hours a day for 50 days."

**Kilo – "Light Light"**

"[Do Not Touch](http://donottouch.org/?ref=hypebot.com)" is [described](http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/16/4229202/light-light-kilo-crowdsourced-music-video?ref=hypebot.com) as including "imagery…\[that\] may be considered NSFW."

I must have missed that part but tech bloggers seemed excited about this "browser-based experience that tracks your cursor movements and later integrates them into the video itself for future playback" for Kilo's song "Light Light."
