The movie is actually a long playing music video, IMHO, and if you accept that as true, its the best one ever.
As a movie its ok-ish.

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

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.

Absolutely not to be seen on MTV, i just get them on kazaa.
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.
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.
Quote from: Duck SauceDo videos actually get played in other parts of the world?
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,
Sauce
Quote from: Duck Saucesomebody has to pay for the videos. Record companies want to make money.
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.

actually, I was really surprised about music videos here in England. The british students are opsessed w/ american pop stars. They watch a program similar to MTV, but it has numbers you can call and request a certain video, which for a rather large charge, will be automatically played on your screen.
These students love talking about these annoying American pop stars like Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, etc. I got here, and was kind of upset, because no one really listens to the classic southern rock that I pretty much listen to. Doesn't anyone like CCR here? hehe...
We've gone to clubs here and in liverpool and they listen to a lot of American 80s, dance music, and techno(blah). They all know it better than I do. I played Led Zepplin in my room and some heads turned. They are all listening to goo goo dolls. (sigh)
Quote from: mogwaiQuote from: cbrad4dDoesn't anyone like CCR here?
There's VH1 for that kind of music, thank god.
Uh, yeah, CCR gets tons of play on VH1, right next to Nickelback and JLo.
AND CCR is classic. :bad-words:
I bet you could see CCR on VH1 classics - great station.
Quote from: mogwaiHere's a cool one:
Liam Lynch 'United States of Whatever'.
Yeah, whatever :roll:
Bjork - "It's Oh So Quiet"
Radiohead - "Paranoid Android", "No Surprises", "Karma Police", & "Knives Out" are my favorites but I love all of Radiohead's videos.
UNKLE - "Rabbit in Your Headlights"
Anything directed by Spike Jonze but especially...
- "Weapon of Choice" (Fatboy Slim)
- "Buddy Holly" (Weezer)
Blur - "Coffee & TV"
Portishead - "Only You"
I just watched some on ifilm that were pretty good. Sigur Ros - Untitled 1 and Spoon - Everything Hits at Once. The storyline of the Spoon one isn't anything great, but it's animated by the woman that did the sequence in Waking Life where Wiley talks to the red head in the dark. I'm obsessed with Waking Life and that animation technique so I loved it.
Massive Attack's new one "Special Cases", both male and female versions.
video of the year so far. will be hard to top.
It's really funny because I just arrived in the UK two days ago and I just turned on the TV and who should be on but CCR. The number of bizarre british pop acts here though is ridiculous. You have no idea how many times I've heard the T.A.T.U. song (that and the eminem song, probably due to the release of 8 Mile here last month). Yeah, but seriously, british pop is strange.

Uh hello, let's not forget Paul Thomas Anderson--the work he's done for his gf Fiona Apple--"Paper Bag", "Across the Universe" (one of my faves) and "Try" by Michael Penn
anyone seen that new Mark Romanek video that he did for Johnny Cash, "Hurt"...I think that's a pretty good video.
I like the one he did for "Criminal" too, Fiona looks sexy, in a child-pornography kind of way.

Straight outta Iceland!
When MTV launched on August 1, 1981, the first music video it played was "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles. What an awful video. In those days, all a music video needed was jiggly girls in bikinis, big hair, fast cars, and if you were lucky, jiggly girls with big hair driving fast cars. No huge costs, just a little something to complement the listening experience.
Then came along Michael Jackson's "Thriller" in 1983. "Thriller" wasn't a music video, it was a full-fledged crotch-grabbing experience. At 14 minutes long, "Thriller" suddenly opened the doors of creativity, proving that a music video could be more about the video and less about the music. Today, companies will spend millions of dollars to make a 3-minute video (most of it spent on computer animation and huge sets). We are proud to present a list of opulent indulgence: the 10 most expensive music videos of all time.
To be fair, though, we've instituted some ground rules:
1. A group/artist can only appear once on the list. Known as the Michael Jackson Amendment, this rule makes the list a whole lot more interesting. But artists doing a one-time collaboration with others are fair game (allowing Janet Jackson to pop up 3 times).
2. If the video is for a song from a movie, then it doesn't count. Otherwise, Celine Dion's warbling of "My Heart Will Go On" would win hands down (because it included expensive scenes from Titanic). To qualify, the images in the video must have been created solely for that video.
3. Studios lie about how much they spend. They don't want to seem too wasteful, so our figures are probably a little off. But it's an interesting list anyway, so deal with it.
10. "Girlfriend/Boyfriend"
Cost: $1,500,000+
Artist: Blackstreet (featuring Janet Jackson)
This video is completely computer animated, taking place inside a pinball machine. The basic "plot" is that Blackstreet and Janet Jackson feel like pinballs, bouncing uncontrollably through their lives, when it's all really just a game. What made it so expensive? Well, computer animation ain't cheap, and neither is Janet Jackson (the same cannot be said about sibling Latoya . . .)
Janet's wardrobe: $10,000
Blackstreet's wardrobe: $25,000
Janet's travel costs: $50,000
Blackstreet's travel costs: $200,000
3-D animation costs: $600,000
9. "November Rain"
Cost: $1,500,000+
Artist: Guns N' Roses
An 11-minute video extravaganza, this video tells the supposed tale of singer Axl Rose and model Stephanie Seymour getting married, having a party, and living out their lives together until death. And all it took was 11 minutes? . . . A classy video that combines storytelling with live concert performances, Guns N' Roses actually paid for the video themselves, to insure that it looked as they envisioned.
Renting a symphony orchestra: $25,000
Specially constructed chapel: $150,000
Wedding dress: $8,000
Specially constructed coffin: $8,000
8. "Unpretty"
Cost: $1,600,000+
Artist: TLC
While their video "Waterfalls" was technologically more groundbreaking, "Unpretty" ended up costing more because the group argued over every little detail (almost doubling the projected cost). The story of the video starts out with women in a plastic surgeon's office contemplating breast implants, but they somehow get involved in a gang fight in a back alley. All the while, TLC sits on these weirdo floating pods while doing yoga chants. Nobody said these videos have to make sense . . .
Floating yoga pods: $60,000
Field of purple flowers: $50,000
Laptop computer animating breast enhancements: $63,000
Flying robot camera: $35,000
Hairstyling: $11,000
Makeup: $25,000
Costumes: $11,000
7. "She's a Bitch"
Cost: $2,000,000+
Artist: Missy Elliot
For some videos, you have no idea where the money went. What made it cost so much? Greedy accountant skim off the top? Tons of footage never used? Missy Elliot's "She's a Bitch" is a perfect example of such confusion. A rap song that essentially features Miss Missy mugging for the camera in a rubber body suit (or dancing on an M-shaped stage with her Missy-ettes), how this video ended up costing $2 mil is a mystery.
Missy Elliot's rubber wardrobe: $10,500
Glow-in-the-dark cape: $3,500
M-shaped stage: $30,000
Silver suits for the extras: $12,000
Total set: $850,000
Makeup: $6,000
Special effects for a stormy sky: $20,000
6. "Miami"
Cost: $2,000,000+
Artist: Will Smith
Will Smith is notorious for spending googobs on his music videos, especially because they often serve the dual purpose of promoting his movies. The video to "Wild Wild West" cost $3 million alone, and the video to "Men In Black" is also up there. Of course, such videos aren't allowed placement on our list, but they go to show that Will Smith is no stranger to spending money on his videos. For "Miami," Smith chose to follow the ever-popular path of using computer morphing techniques, sending the budget sky-rocketing. The entire video consists of the Fresh Prince morphing from location to location (we counted at least 40 morphs), and each morph costs about $14,000. The sad thing is, the song ain't that great.
Private jet rental: $15,000
Each morph transition: $14,000 (and there were least 40 of these)
Floating Miami set: $500,000
Models: $10,000
Choreography: $200,000
5. "Larger Than Life"
Cost: $2,100,000+
Artist: Backstreet Boys
Fine, fine, they're all hotties. No use denying it. But unlike their competitor über-boybands *NSync and 98°, the Backstreet Boys are actually pretty good (they were even nominated for a Grammy for their second smash album, "Millennium," proving that they have industry respect). The Backstreet Boys made more money in 1999 than any other entertainer, $66 million, so dropping $2 mil on a video is chump change. In "Larger Than Life," the story is that the B-Boys are space-fighting robots in some bizarro Star Wars meets Voltron cyberworld. Replete with computer animation and special effects, it doesn't make much sense but it looks pretty cool.
Cryogenic chamber model: $20,000
Flying surfboard scene at beginning: $90,000
3-D animated models: $45,000
Robot costumes for the B-Boys: $56,000
Exterior shot of the space station: $70,000
Dance stage: $80,000
The cost to fly the crew to the set: $150,000
Director's fee: $150,000 (for just 4 days of shooting)
Total special effects: $600,000
4. "What's It Gonna Be"
Cost: $2,400,000+
Artist: Busta Rhymes (featuring Janet Jackson)
A tremendously cool video involving tons of special effects that Busta Rhymes co-directed. The story involves Busta (as some kind of morphy glass creature) hookin' up with Janet (also a morphy glass creature). They sing, they morph, they sing, and they morph a little more, and at the end of the video, they both explode into little glass shards. Gross. But in a good way.
The visuals are reminiscent of movies like The Abyss and Terminator 2: Judgment Day in which a humanoid creature is able to change its appearance, yet still appear completely believable. In "What's It Gonna Be," Janet and Busta are constantly mushing around each other, sometimes transparent (like glass), sometimes reflective (like mirrors). Believe us, you can see where the $2.4 million went.
Virtual set: $100,000
Each morph: $30,000 (boy, did these add up . . .)
Busta's glass costume: $40,000
Janet and Busta's explosion: $20,000
3. "Heartbreaker"
Cost: $2,500,000+
Artist: Mariah Carey
Here's a video that makes almost no sense. Mariah starts out on a movie date with B-level star Jerry O'Connell, when some hoodlums start throwing popcorn at them. To escape the trauma, Mariah runs to the bathroom, where she encounters her evil twin (portrayed by Mariah in a black wig). Good Mariah and Evil Mariah start getting all Jackie Chan on each other, when they turn into cartoons. Then the video ends.
Much like Missy Elliot's "She's a Bitch," we have no idea why this video turned out to be so expensive. We can only suspect that the first version stunk, so they probably did some re-shooting. We would've hated to see the first version, though.
Movie theater rental: $100,000
Mansion rental (in the movie): $40,000
Hairstyling: $13,000
Dog and its trainer: $6,000
Fight coordinator: $7,000
Animation: $80,000
Jerry O'Connell's cameo fee: $10,000
2. "Victory"
Cost: $2,700,000+
Artist: Puff Daddy (featuring Notorious B.I.G. & Busta Rhymes)
"Victory," like 5 others of the videos on this list, is a rap video, and what a rap video "Victory" is. It has everything, including exploding airplanes, suicidal leaps from buildings, helicopters, and shootouts. Like much of Puff Daddy's repertoire, this video is about a man's escape from the police who are wrongly accusing him of a crime. As P.D. runs across the city's rooftops, a bunch of snobs in a party look out the window at the ensuing action, obviously wishing that they had such excitement in their lives. And playing through the background of the entire video is an opera aria that lends the entire video a dramatic flair. While it may not have much computer animation, this video definitely has a "movie feel" to it; this level of detail is what makes the video cost so much, and seem so cool.
Building an airplane and blowing it up: $55,000
Pyrotechnic special effects: $100,000
Artificial rain: $10,000
Helicopter rental: $21,000
Stuntman fee: $5,000 per jump from building to building
Security on the set: $10,000
1. "Scream"
Cost: $7,000,000+
Artist: Michael Jackson (featuring Janet Jackson)
Michael Jackson's videos have always been ridiculously expensive. In 1983, he spent $800,000 on "Thriller," which would be about $1.4 million today. But remember that before "Thriller," no one even came close to spending that kind of money, and he had to do it with limited technological capabilities. As technology improved, Jacko's videos became more expensive, spending over $1.2 million on "Black or White" in 1992, and even more on "Remember The Time." But if he can keep an oxygen chamber, a petting zoo, the Elephant Man's bones, and an entire plastic surgery team in his mansion, it's certainly no biggie to drop another $7 mil on a video with his sister.
"Scream's" $7,000,000 price tag is more than twice as much as the next most expensive music video (Puff Daddy's "Victory" at $2.7 million), and it's easy to see why: he spent $5 million alone on 11 sets. Yet while watching the video, it all seems incredibly wasteful, not coming close to the film quality of "Thriller", "November Rain," or "Victory."
Computer-generated spaceship: $65,000
Breaking guitars: $53,000
Morphing artworks: $50,000
Michael's makeup: $3,000
Janet's makeup: $8,000 a day
Choreography: $40,000
Giant video screen: $80,000
Lighting: $175,000
Cost per day: $636,000 (about 11 days)
Total cost of 11 sets: $5,000,000

Quote from: RaikusAnyone seen Icubus' "Megalomaniac" vid? It's a great mixed media video. I don't agree with the message, but it's very artistic and very powerful.
the girl who directed it (her name escapes me now and i'm too lazy to look it up) directed a beautiful video for sigur ros.
Thanks, I'll have to look into it. I think it's one of the best videos I've ever seen.

Floria Sigismondi?
My favorite Sigur Ros vid (and one of my favorites of all time) would be the one for "Viorar vel til loftarasa."
I love that video for the Nick Cave song "Fifteen Feet Of Pure White Snow". Not sure if it has been mentioned. Way good...
aw
I just tried creating this topic in another thread but didn't see it here (lol! sorry I'm new). Anyways. here's my long list:
Fatboy Slim - Praise You!!!!! (my all time favorite)
Fatboy Slim - Weapon Of Choice
Bjork - It's Oh So Quiet
The Chemical Brothers - Elektrobank
The Beastie Boys - Sabatoge
Weezer - Buddy Holly (All the ones by Spike Jonze. He's my favorite)
Massive Attack - Protection
Foo Fighters - Everlong
Bjork - Army of Me
Bjork - Human Behavior
Bjork - Hyperballad (in fact all the Bjork videos Michael Gondry did. He's a close second to Spike).
Bjork - All Is Full Of Love (in fact, all the Bjork videos period)
Porishead - Only You
Aphex Twin - Window Licker
Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy (yes, Chirs Cunningham is third. And, yes, I did just buy the three directors series dvds! lol!)
REM - Losing My Religion
REM - Everybody Hurts (Jordan was right, brilliant video)
REM - It's the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine)
Metallica - Unforgiven
Nirvana - In Bloom
Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun

Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up
Moby - Natural Blues
Moby - We Are All Made Of Stars
Moby - In This World
Peter Gabrial - Sledgehammer

Genisis - Land Of Confusion (love those puppets)
...that's all I can think of right now
Local H "All the Kids Are Right"
Sullen "No Sleep"
Electric Six "Danger, High Voltage"
The new video for Steriogram that Michel Gondry directed is tight. The song is called Walkie Talkie Man.
The song is kinda smells like dog poo, but you can survive it because the video is damn amazing.

haha, totally.. elemenoP!
i really like everything that shynola has directed, but specially blur's good song. that video has the most heartbreaking love story i have ever seen, forr real, and its enhanced by the art of David Shrigley. good stuff.
besides that one, i'd say that with videos is the newer the better.
*star guitar by youknowwho
*obviously evil by interpol (directed by a person named charlie white)
Pearl Jam - Do The Evolution
Currently
Le Tigre - TKO
Dresden Dolls - Coin Operated Boy.
Both videos have women that aernt really attractive but exude a sexiness in the videos that is just plain sexy, and so are they....in those videos.
I still get a kick out of "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden.
Talking Heads "Once In A Lifetime"
Lou Reed "No Money Down"
The Cure "Close To Me"
The Chemical Bros. "Let Forever Be"
Apehx Twin "Come To Daddy"

Speaking of animation, I'm surprised you didn't mention your namesakes' video Hunted By A Freak (http://www.mogwai.co.uk/video/16.mov) (10 MB Quicktime file). I've only watched it once... it's horrifying, sad, and dreamlike all at once. I'm glad I saw it, but it'd be hard for me to watch it again.

i actually liked the video. what made you think it was horrible?
it was unreasonably strange/contentless and awkward. and the potential of certain aspects of the song, like the why-chikas, was wasted by making random people in a bar say them for no reason. what made you think it was likable?

Quote from: picolaswhat made you think it was likable?
i laughed, which i have not done with a music video in a while. it was nothing innovative, and he has done better, but it was still a fun video. and it made me think of toonces, the driving cat, which put a huge smile on my face
spike's recent stuff has not impressed me much (yeah yeah yeahs video, ludacris, etc), and i was actually losing faith in him. i guess you can say this re-stored my faith a little bit, that he can do something pretty out there in left field

it's not a perfect video, for one thing Karin Dreijer is only in it at the end dressed like shakespeare (above), just in time to watch the video fall apart. and it only gets more inexplicable from there.. is she leaking milk? hairy apples? the flying chick is not too attractive either. there's an abundance of pretentious imagery.
yet despite all these things i looked everywhere for a link to share the video, it's been my favourite song of the year since the album leaked.
these caps above are my favourite shot of the vid, at my favourite part of the song, wherein the director (some dude Martin de Thurah who also did a video for Mew) at least got the colours right. perfect even. it's sort of like Frozen but not, well the good bits anyway. if the whole thing had been the shot above cut with the first cap way up there, it woulda been the best video for sure.

I liked everything except for the last minute or so, once things start getting weird (the apple, the collar, etc.). The house and the floating and the milk leaking? Beautiful. Like the song.

He is Danish and lives in Copenhagen. He is doing videos for all the big artists here. I'm not a big fan of his work. I think his videos aren't connecting with the music and therefore steals the focus. A musicvideo should be 90% music and 10% visual. But no doubt that this guy will make videos for all the stars in a couple of years.

I sense a new "moral question" coming on....
has anyone seen the video for Once in a Lifetime by Talking Heads?
the new remastered edition of Remain in Light advertised a OiaL video, so i was thinking it was this but it was a tv performance. MTV used to air great older videos and i've never forgotten this one.
i need to find a dvd with this on it.
Hey people I just want to recommend a dvd-music/shortfilm magazine called specialten. It comes out every month and is packed with the coolest new musicvideos and great documentaries. It's a must-have for any music,film and art lover. buy it at www.specialten.com . But don't buy all the old issues I still haven't bought them all.
"All These Things that I've Done" by The Killers. It's Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! with a little bit of an O.C. vibe. It's clever and kinda sexy. I like The Killers a lot to begin with, though, so that might be a requirement for enjoying this one.
I used to really liked the videos to Vasoline, Interstate Love Song and Lady Picture Show by the Stone Temple Pilots quite a bit.

I used to set the VCR to tape 120 minutes everytime it was on before i went to bed so i could wake up and watch the videos i missed before school. If i'm not mistaken..that's probably where i saw "Just" for the first time as well...great video btw.
"Maps" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs. (I know, I know--it's old. Well, I just saw it for the first time.) What with the close-ups on the changing color filters alternating with the close-ups of Karen O's face bathed in said colors, I'd say it's cf. A Woman is a Woman.

Have you seen the video for "Y Control"? Absolutely insane. It's basically the band in a grimy room surrounded by little kids doing incredibly disturbing things (cutting and disembowling and what-have-you). It's been a while since I saw it, so I don't remember a lot of details, just that I'm glad I wasn't watching it alone late at night.

Pretty sure this was widely discussed on another thread... maybe it's own thread... I'm almost tired of the thing because of how many people have spoofed and made fun of it since it came out.
I did a search and couldn't see anything :ponder:... Anyway, I know it's become this big deal in the U.S but no one's really heard of it over here in the UK - it's recently become my mission to spread the word of it because it really is unnaturally entertaining.

pearl jam - nothingman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B209C2S-kZc&search=pearl%20jam)
Mogwai...I certainly applaud that selection.
My two favorite videos are Pearl Jam's "Do the Evolution" and Radiohead's "No Surprises". They're both incredible (and I'm certainly hypocritical). I just saw Radiohead and the entire crowd responded to No Surprises to a degree I was unprepared for...but in a good way.
But I still love in the Almost Famous audio commentary when Cameron Crowe discusses how Crudup was really into Nothingman during the shoot. Brilliant.

Yes, yes, the jogs. Definitely the jogs. And nothing else but the jogs....
"Seems like this record came out like four years ago, right? "Juicebox" leaked and set an underwhelming first impression of First Impressions in late '05, so in blog years it was ages ago -- but when a Lucasfilm art director (Warren Fu) says he's "determined" and inspired, why not take him up on his intergalactic cinema chops. The vid is composed "entirely of CGI ... [paying] homage to Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey as well as the NASA spacecrafts of the 1970's." After a cool use of the abrupt outro cut from Impressions track "Ize Of The World," Fu's film unfolds, giving a futuristic spin on possibly the best Strokes song to date (i.e. 1977 A.D.)."

for the first minute i was thinking "this is woeful", the reason why fan clips probly shouldn't appear in this thread.. then the actual gimmick began and i gotta say it's pretty well done. dude handling the camera had the easiest job of keeping the guy's head out of the shot and he failed miserably, so boo-urns to him.. but the idea was great, i especially like the combination with -ER words.

^classic picolas.Bat For Lashes - "What's A Girl To Do"
watch on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1wnOUH2jk8) or download in better quality (22.6MB, QT mov) (http://extreme.colonelblimp.com/directors/dougalwilson/movies/Batforlashes_Whatsagirltodo.mov) if you like it.
this is a video directed by Dougal Wilson who has previously made vids for Benny Benassi, The Streets, and Jarvis.
all downloadable from his page on the colonel blimp site. (http://www.colonelblimp.com/directors/dougalwilson/)
i became a really big fan of the Benassi ("Satisfaction") because it was such a brilliant improvement on its original video which consisted of pretty much a static image of loser nobodies. the new concept by wilson was obvious but it's also one of the best of those made in the last few years. i didn't think much of the streets one or jarvis especially. then i caught this new one for Bat For Lashes late one nite and i was kinda blown away.
it took what i'd seen used in that Feist video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8Z-DIAthbM) and made it spooky. i don't think the video has much to do with the lyrical content but it matches the music perfectly in atmosphere. i love the lights that pass by the far right/left edges of the frame and enhance the foreground via matching-coloured lens flares. most ppl would prolly prefer the feist video cos it looks more complicated but this hits a different spot just as well if not better.
the song's great too.

The Loneliness of the Long Distance Sweatband
This was from earlier in the year, but I had just heard it. I remembered hearing Robyn came out with a new CD, but being the girl that did "Show Me Love," I didn't really take it seriously.
I guess that's all behind her now and she's always been a huge fan of breakbeats and grime. The sad part is... it's actually pretty cool. I wish she would've at least changed her name so I wouldn't have to admit listening to Robyn.

Comparing the Mountain Goats to MadTV certainly parallels the ratio of great moments in a heavily prolific run.
Though Mountain Goats edges MadTV out since he's had some good albums, whereas MadTV has yet to have any consistent
season episode.

this is one of those hip hop videos that artists dont seem to make anymore. its filmed in a very low grade style to remove any of the gloss and glamor of todays more popular artists. the video (well, short film) shows the reality of greed, lust, violence, and lost innocence of a dice game gone wrong.
what starts off as a harmless phone call turns into tragedy via gritty, realistic special effects, lesbianism, and a "macguffin" discused as a shadowy figure wearing a bandana

coldplay took the same idea into crazy extravagance:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYtk1Z0UUuE
it's weird, i am amazed by the imagination of lower-budget stuff like the Oren Lavie video, but when i see a huge band do the same thing my mind switches to cynical: i can't believe they would actually do it
the hard way. so i set out to find some proof that coldplay (as i like to call him) was only there for a minute to get into the right positions and costumes and the geniuses at Shynola would do the rest over several painstaking days.. it didn't take long to be proven wrong, here's a short quote about the process, for anyone interested:
Talk us through how you created the video.... The drawing was incredibly laborious. By the end, the tips of my fingers were all numb and I had worn a weird dent into one finger. They still feel a little odd now, weeks later. However, our discomfort was nothing compared to the uncomfortable poses we made Chris Martin hold for long tortuous minutes. He has pretty good core body strength - imagine having to stay straight as an arrow, balanced on a small skateboard at your waist... It was all pretty nerve-wracking. Shynola has always been 4 people, but late last year our friend and colleague Gideon died suddenly after contracting a virus. So now we are 3 and not so sure of ourselves anymore. On top of that, we hadn't made a music video in 4 years. So here we were, rusty, plunging into a technically difficult shoot, one man down, and it's for the biggest band on the planet! Luckily, we had a great producer, and the label seemed more confident than us that everything would be great. And, as it happened, it was.and here's an excellent article (http://www.promonews.tv/2009/09/23/breaking-news-shynola-respond-to-strawberry-swing-%E2%80%9Csimilarities%E2%80%9D-claims/comment-page-1/) on the technique, their influences, and the ensuing controversy surrounding claims of plagiarism (must be a coldplay thing).
I can't even believe the controversy, it's so stupid. The video [Andy J Gallagher - Something Else] isn't terrible, but it suffers from the same problems of "Her Morning Elegance," there isn't really a story just a gimmick. Shynola really knows how to make something work, and their Coldplay video really works. Except for the song, but whaddyagonnado?
None of them have anything on Blu (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuGaqLT-gO4), though.

apparently directed by someone called Wendy Morgan whose other videos are too forgettable to link, i think she got lucky with these dancers cos even tho she does feature choreography in a lot of her other work it's not this nice.

yeah i know about her, i read her wikipedia page.
i just think a clip that boring should have come with a warning. especially when the relevant part was 3mins into it and then a bit at the end. you can set the starting time on youtube clips for halfway or whatever to facilitate this, rather than exposing some of us to extremely tedious avant-garde that is near impossible to watch unprepared.
What are your top 5 music videos in the last 5 years? I was thinking I would make a top 5 music videos ever list, but realized they would all be from awhile ago. Can someone educate me on who's doing it big lately?
This is just a personal list, mostly to draw attention to a few that don't normally get attention.
Margot & The Nuclear So and So's - Quiet as a Mouse (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na7xJ7wQ-iw) (perfect band, perfect song, perfect video)
Nico Vega - Gravity (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOkKufaZ84s) (there's something legitimately shocking to me about the violence in this video, which is saying a lot from someone as jaded as I am. I don't know what it is, but I like it)
Death Cab for Cutie - Little Bribes (http://rossching.com/little-bribes/) (fan-made video, better than 99% of professional music videos)
Coldplay - Life in Technicolor II (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXSovfzyx28) (yeah, I know, Coldplay... but this song and video are both great)
Ellie Goulding - Starry-Eyed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PULdPep_xfs) (the video's nothing special, but this artist and this song in particular are my favorite new things)
A Fine Frenzy - Blow Away (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7N5L1yCFUc) (the ultimate feel-good song, and an utterly charming video)
Talking Heads have a lot of good videos, most David Byrne had a hand in directing, or co-directing. True Stories is interesting, too. It really needs a Widescreen release with a bonus CD with all the actor versions of the songs.

ok song, awesome video (flamethrower v. fire extinguisher)
great concept, great cast.
the director's site (http://www.tom.as/) explains a bit about where it came from:
Diesel "The Duel"Promo made for the band Dancing Pigeons, that Diesel supports through Diesel U:Music.
A longer short film version will be released on Diesel.com soon.
The film is based on Diesel's theme for their new collection - Fire & Water.
he's got a few other noteworthy projects, including a short film called "Sorry i'm late" (http://vimeo.com/4862670) made using the seemingly obligatory method (overhead shot of stop motion live animation) used in countless videos and short films since time began. good for him tho, cos he seems to put in a lot of hard work, whoever he is.

How much of this is a comedy act and how much is R&B?
Real Talk is the greatest title for an R. Kelly song.

Please re-add that link to your top post there. This video is that important to me.
I love Real Talk.

Haha. Oh man, I want to show that video to my friends.
Quotei'm sorry i'm the douche who is quoting himself but did anyone ever watch this?
Of course, man. It made me check out the rest of the album that it's on, which was sort of lackluster compared to that single. Having checked out more of his stuff, I liked Alegranza!.
He was supposed to be at Pitchfork this year but by some twist of fate, he couldn't show up, which really sucks to find out now but whaddya gonna do.
i was really disappointed with the rest of the album since that one song is so righteous. the first and last tracks on Pop negro are the best.
Forgive me for being self promotional, but the video I did for this band School Of Seven Bells just got released and I wanted to share it:
http://vimeo.com/17016568
I co-directed it with a friend of mine. Cunningham influence is on the sleeve, but hopefully flipped in an interesting way.

really well made and ambitious for a video, don't care for the song and the acting is overwrought even for a short clip. conceptually it's pretty much Inception meets Eternal Sunshine..
Never heard of that band. Was just coming here to post that clip (that somebody at work sent me). It really is great.

I think just about any song one would use with this idea would come out sounding a lot like this. With that being said, the song is great and so is the video. (Sorry, but it's true.)
I've never liked OK Go, so maybe it's just me.
I won't besmirch the video, even if it is kind of a gratuitous ad for that car. (Did they really need to slide it all over the place?)
they didn't need to do anything; it's a music video funded produced by a car company. all ads are gratuitous.

While listening to a song that was clearly not intended to be played at the same time.
I have been listening to the earlier Starflyer 59 shoegaze-y stuff lately, which I didn't really like in the past.
So now this video has new meaning to me. Feels a little Lynch-ian. The last minute of feedback is pretty cool imo.
Starflyer 59 - A Housewife Love Song (1995)

Michel Gondry would be jealous.
New band of the singer from The Like, whose "Release Me" is probably one of my top 25 albums. This is a great song, and Z Berg's voice is absolute sex, but there's something about the video in particular that just hits home with me. It's almost like a 3 1/2 minute Los Angeles version of Dreamlife of Angels, and anything that reminds me of Dreamlife of Angels is reserved a place in my heart.
^cool video, cool song, cool feel.
this is what i like right now:
Love both of these
METZ - "Wet Blanket"
I really liked this video, it suits the music. For me it kind of had a Harmony Korine feel to it. And I've been drawn to music that tends to blow eardrums to shit lately so win win.
As a Seattle native, I'm contractually obligated to hype for Macklemore, but this song is legitimately the catchiest thing around.

http://vimeo.com/60035581
last week or so was art walk in culver city, and i was there for that, and eric wareheim was there for a comedy central premiere of some show or another. i was standing outside the premiere venue and wareheim came out with his gf (?) and they walked down the street. then back up the street and into an alley. i had to go through the alley to get to my car, and wareheim was at the end of the alley saying "i'm sorry, i've lost the car" in an earnest way and without reply from the girl. they turned and walked back through the alley. i got in my car and drove back through the alley, and saw wareheim walking down the street i'd already seen him walking down previously
seemed really wareheimy of him, seemed like life imitating art
I love RiFF RAFF's music videos. If you haven't seen Spring Breakers yet, then I guess you're not familiar, but James Franco's entire look and persona are based off of him. He's just a really magnetic personality, or maybe I'm stupid...IDK. I think it's interesting to compare Spring Breakers and The Master in how they portray some sort of desirable figure of 'wealth' and 'the dream' but in the end, what do they really have to offer?
anyways...
RiFF!
Meh. He's basically trying to be the American Die Antwoord, but he missed the part about them being legitimately super talented.
This band is actually awesome and y'all should give their new album "Floating Coffin" a spin, but the main reason I'm posting is because of this video. Watch it and try to tell me whoever shot it isn't a huge PTA fan. It's all I was thinking while watching.
Thee Oh Sees - "Toe Cutter - Thumb Buster"
i dont know how many of you have seen this, apologize if this has been already posted, which wouldnt surprise me.
but this is crazy awesome. alt-j - breezeblocks.
Nothing new, but these are two of my favorites:
I also like the Massive Attack one but one thing is not clear with me. Is that vodka or wine she's drinking? If it's vodka then it'd be a very short video.
Vodka. She's really drinking for part of it.
Actress Kirsty Shepheard on what it was like to film the video for Live With Me – "It's about a woman who attempts to drink herself to death as she is desperately unhappy after breaking up with someone. It's not like a pop video – it's like a tragic short film. We filmed the first part in the off-licence when the woman I play picks up her booze after work. Over the weekend, she locks herself away in her own flat. We mixed up the shoots, so there are some parts shot on the street where I have to act drunk because they didn't want me to be under the influence in public. They wanted me to drink to see the changes that actually happen. You can act drunk but it's not as convincing. I had a hangover – because I mixed my drinks. But it was a controlled situation and I made my own choices as to how much I drank and at what pace" [Daily Record Newspaper - March 2006]
that was great.

I think it's about time you make a thread for your short already, just give us a taste.
Trashy has a short? What is it about? Indecipherable posts?
:) for us it's a pleasure that nobudge wants to show the short. kentucker is expanding the movie community, and it's a treasure to be an installment in that process. i chose december for nobudge because october is so halloween, and the mood and emotions of the short are better for a different holiday
i worry that at xixax only doom and gloom await me. i mean if the short is talked about like i'm talked about, i'm fucked. one person here has seen it because the person emailed me when i felt downtrodden and alltheway bounced from here (for like a month). i'll share that person's response and ask the person not to share anything else
QuoteI really enjoyed your film. It has a great pace to it and some fresh editing. As a student of film, I'd like to say it seems modern, but I do not intend this to be a back handed compliment. I just mean it has this new quality to it, while still maintaining some classical elements.
There's just something there. There's something to it. it works. It's inspiring it really is to see something simple yet complex I don't know that sounds so pretentious but damn it man you've done something

My only goal for 2014 is to shoot my short. When I get my shit together and finally do it, I'll upload it here first just to let all the hate (masquerading as constructive criticism) and the brutal honesty roll out.

I can barely even rationalize why I'm so obsessed with this song and this video lately, but it's been like a month and I still keep going back to it. The song is basically straight-white-Bloc-Party, and the video is like a tiny little Larry Clark film, but the two come together in a way that hits me right in the sensibilities.

she's so good. I too like getting high by the beach in order to get away. have you all watched this video? it has contemporary characteristics we could hypothetically chat about. invisible narratives, possible through emotional textures so I adore them, and their photographic equal charms me, one day in the future we might-could chat about "anxious cameras" and the growing popularity of such form.

Nothing against beaches though. Actually beaches have enough problems without Lana Del Ray getting high on them. Have you heard about beach erosion?
QuotePerhaps the only video of a Rapa Nui band, this group has one of the best sounds in all of Polynesia, and is a hit in Tahiti. This video shows their aboriginal clothing, tatoos, body painting, and of course, beautiful Easter Island (Rapa Nui).

this is maybe the most 2016 video i've ever seen. it's from 2014 btw
the above video was overlooked and life is tricky i swear it is. but also sharing music tastes is for some reason like impossible. i've liked this song and i'm sharing this video because duh:
First of all, something I've always noticed watching 'Ain't Them Bodies Saints' is that the beginning of the Daniel Hart number 'Do You Remember That Day? has such a similar essence and vibe to this song.
Secondly, isn't that such a cool video? Some Pete's Dragon vibes in the beginning.
just letting you know I'm thinkin of ya.
I don't like the first 35 seconds, but everything that follows is great.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWGJA9i18Co
3:04-3:34 is now my current example of music videos doing object montages for purely emotional purposes related to the song which i like

QuoteSociety is always changing. Value systems are rebuilt and old constructs are denounced. Motivations are reinterpreted and new challenges will always surface. We are a culture of many narratives; "Swish Swash" is a reference to the ebb and flow of our worldview from its shaky mythological foundation. We mix bygones with topical symbology to represent the malleability of collective-consciousness. From Pepe The Frog to Trudeau in a headdress, our intention is to represent the banal, exploitative nature of the television we watch and the clickbait we read. This work is made in testament to the shapeshifting propaganda of our time.

QuoteChoy's rock bottom and turning point came in his early 20s when he realised he felt too messed up to call his mother, who had always been supportive despite having her own addiction issues.
Music became "an obsession that replaces the substance abuse", says Choy. His father's huge record collection was still at home. After initially connecting with the fury in punk, grindcore and powerviolence, he later enjoyed the calm of Brian Eno albums. The idea that Eno, a non-musician, could facilitate musicians gave Choy the spark of the idea for Crack Cloud, and the band congregated around people who were "fundamentally about recovery and taking care of your mental health", rather than making money.
Sharar funnelled his intense demeanour into the band's idea of "creativity with no rules". Guitarist Jon Varley is also moving on from addiction, while multi-instrumentalist Daniel Robertson met Choy when working in a homeless centre; he was recreating his "whole world view" after growing up a devout Christian. Although seven members have come to the UK, the Crack Cloud community now consists of 20 people. "We spend all our time working on stuff," Sharar explains, "so anyone who spends time with us kinda gets dragged in."
Their work in low-barrier care (care services that try to be as accessible to users as possible) and overdose prevention is as much a part of their operation as the band. Vancouver is in the midst of an opiate and fentanyl crisis; people with addiction issues migrate to the Downtown Eastside's specially provided safe spaces for drug use. "It's basically a shoot-up zone," Choy says. "The appearance is terrifying but once you immerse yourself, as we do with our work, you realise it's a very inclusive community that are dealing with their own traumas."
