let\'s see some music videos
Youtube seems like it has become a pretty solid repository for music videos these days, which is fun, because I think there's a lot of enjoyable stuff out there. I bet the discerning tastemakers of OOT might know of some pretty interesting videos. Searching OOT for "music video" in the past 6 months, I see threads about specific videos, but not an overall blanket category for posting music videos you enjoy. If this would work better in LoL, so be it, but since music seems to be the purview of OOT, I like putting it here.
So post links to any music videos you particularly enjoy, whether just because the video itself kicks ass, or you really like the song, whatever. Given the nature of the thread, I think some degree of obscurity is probably a good thing, but not necessary. Here are a couple I like: Caribou - Crayon: I recently picked up this guy's album Up in Flames. This is one of my favorite tracks, at least for the first two minutes. Kicking around, I discovered this video for it. The production values aren't very high, but something about it dovetails well with the charm of the song. DJ Format - 3 Feet Deep: I think this video is hilarious. And say what you will about rapping Canadians, I think Abdominal has pretty impressive flow. His sidekick sounds eerily like a nerdy as [censored] Eminem, which is distracting, but ignorable. |

Re: let\'s see some music videos
This has always been one of my favorites. Spike Jonze is obviously a huge name in music videos, but this is one of his early ones and the band pretty much faded into obscurity.

Pretty much every Bjork video I've ever seen has been pretty awesome in a trippy way. I'm a big fan of them. Here are some of my favorites: Bjork - Hunter Bjork - It's Oh So Quiet - Spike Jonze Bjork - Bachelorette - Michel Gondry Bjork - Joga - Also Michel Gondry |

Re: let\'s see some music videos
I somehow fell into music videos a couple years back and stocked up a pretty sizeable collection.
Some of my favourites: Sigur Ros - Glosoli (dir Arni and Kinski) - video The most moving music vid I've ever seen set to one of a great, great track. Some sick cinematography. Two shots that really bug me, both toward the end, but all the good things easily make up for it. Royksopp - What Else Is There (dir Martin de Thurah) - video Sick visuals, solid track, amazing vision. Bjork - All Is Full Of Love (dir Chris Cunningham) - video Just beautiful. I've seen it written by people in the business that the CG on the body on the robots is the best that's ever been done. Yes, this was made years before iRobot was in development, and yes, they blatantly ripped their design from this vid. Plus, Bjork singing makes me want to dance and make out with her. Carpark North - Human (dir Martin de Thurah) - video Another video with kids. Great lighting and lots of fun. Won best video of the year on antville, back when antville didn't suck. |

Re: let\'s see some music videos
Despite the fact that it seems like the video was shot in a gay bar using out of work gay porn actors as dancers, this is a great song -
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds : Stagger Lee This video just makes me smile whenever I watch it - Gogol Bordello : Start Wearing Purple And, despite not being very obscure, this is by far the best music video I've ever seen, and one of the best covers I've ever heard - Johnny Cash : Hurt |
Re: let\'s see some music videos
16 Military Wives - The Decemberists: an homage to Rushmore, which could have turned out silly but is actually really cool and well done, imo

[/ QUOTE ] Still working my way through the thread, but wow this video rules. Who knew watching lesbian robots could be so hot? I concur on the hotness of the voice, though I think I'm actually happier that Bjork is pretty much offstage for this one, as her physical presence occasionally weirds me out (e.g. Hunter) |

Re: let\'s see some music videos
As far as Gondry goes, the most rewatchable video by him for me is Star Guitar. It's like I find something new in it each time. Noticing the smoke rising from the smoke stacks or figuring out which buildings are which synth parts or the first time I realized the only human voices in the song were portrayed by the only humans in the video (which sadly took me more than a few watches to make the connection). Gondry planned this whole video out with nothing more than standard graph paper and a pen, then made a model of it in a parking lot by laying down oranges and pint glasses and vhs tapes and various sized cans, sneakers, screws, and whatever else he could find. The man is ridiculous.

Re: let\'s see some music videos
Anyone besides me old enough to remember "Friday Night Videos"? Ah, good times.
Beastie Boys - Sabotage Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit Replacements - Bastards of Young Dexys Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen (not even sure why, but this might be my favorite music vid of all time) |
Re: let\'s see some music videos
Also speaking of Gondry, this tribute to him is a pretty decent music video and an excellent, excellent track. I aspire to someday be serenaded by Amy Millan while sitting around a campfire.
