Check out director-file.com and go to the chris cunningham section. Also bring a new pair of pants, because after seeing the windowlicker video you have a good chance of shitting yourself. Enjoy

Thanks for the tip... no sound at work, I'll check it out when I get home... that way I can take off my pants and just shit my chair.

You know?  I"ve never seen any of his videos... I love those songs though.

Man, all these people have seen videos that I didn't even know existed.  They couldn't have all been on MTV.

Not Nick Cave at least.

Why do some bands and musicians even have videos? I mean, where do they play them? MTV doesnt really show anything, MTV2 shows what MTV shows only 24 hours a day... Do videos actually get played in other parts of the world? Sometimes it seems like a bunch of money is spent making a video, but who gets to see it? They play it once and thats it.

I was so excited when MTV2 first started and they actually played good videos. Now it's just garbage. Every once in while they'll play something good on 120 minutes which seems to only be on at 2 am. I get Much music and even though it's a Canadian station they sometimes play videos from bands that are practically unknown from the US (Dredg, etc.)

Sorry... No clue why this double posted.

By the way, I saw Windowlicker on MTV2 once...disturbingly great.

RegularKarate

Fuck all - that windowlicker video won't load... and there it is ... tempting me with 32 megs of my favorite Aphex Twin song.

I'll find it eventually.

Considering your people never even heard of Kylie Minogue until last year, you should be aware that there is large market outside the US,. namely the UK, which spreads to germania and down to australia. sheesh. So to answer another one of your increasingly banal questions, some bands make videos cos they don't give a shit what you think.

Id like to take this time and quote myself.

And to respond to your teenage rebellion of a  "some bands make videos cos they don't give a shit what you think." remember, somebody has to pay for the videos. Record companies want to make money. Keep it real in 2003

Love,

This is true. Nick Cave has said that he doesn't like making videos because no matter the artistic merit they may possess, he always feels the plain truth of it is he's "being filmed exhibiting his desire to sell". Even with that intention a whole fuckload of excellent videos don't get shown on MTV, but they get shown everywhere else where the networks are not too concerned with being pop-popular (outside the US), is my point.

okay, the video was on Ifilm, so I watched it there.

Definately good stuff, though I thought the beginning bit when on for a tad too long.
