240. Losing My Religion - REM - Directed by Tarsem Singh

October 17th 2009 11:07
Losing My Religion - REM
REM - Losing My Religion


Breaking with their rules of never having the band lipsync along to a video REM decided to let director Tarsem Singh loose with his ideas about art and religion and the connection between to make this beautiful video. Although the band had been around for a while and well known in the indie scene this was their breakout song/video that saw them become mainstream (and giving the world the most famous Mandolin break ever). A wonderful music video inspired by the films of Tarkovsky and the paintings of Caravaggio.

239. Respectable - Mel and Kim

October 17th 2009 06:56
Respectable Mel and Kim
Mel and Kim - Respectable


This clip is a throw back to 1987 and it is the product of the Stock,Aitken and Waterman production house that gave us Rick Astley and Kylie Minogue. This Jamaican born sister duo of Mel and Kim Appleby was one of the better things that they did. They burst onto the scene with this memorable song that went number one around the world but just when they looked set for international stardom the dream ended with the tragic death of Mel to cancer. At least we will have this clip to remember them by

238. Sexx Laws - Beck - Directed by Beck

October 13th 2009 00:58
Sexx Laws Beck
Beck Sexx Laws


The music video, directed by Beck himself, is partly a tribute to the film Mr. Freedom.[1] Jack Black appears in the music video as a member of the Vision Warrior Men's Circle, along with Neil Strauss and Justin Meldal-Johnsen[2] Surreal elements of the video include a refrigerator dry humping an oven, Kenny G (played by Meldal-Johnsen) in a room of football players, and a spinning mannequin of a zebra with a banjo.

There are several versions of the video. The original (once posted on Beck's website) was over 18 minutes long and extended the intro of the Men's Circle. The subsequent versions edited out the intro and ending, the latter truncating a pep rally speech by Jack Black's character.

237. Da Funk - Daft Punk - Directed by Spike Jonze

August 18th 2009 05:09

Daft Punk Da Funk
Da Funk Daft Punk


Well Spike Jonze new feature film Where The Wild Things Are is coming out soon (oct 16 for those in the States a little later here in Australia where they actually shot the movie - and I worked on it!!) Anyway I thought it was a good time to see more of Spike's early music video work and this one from euro big beat master Daft Punk is a favourite. A man-dog with a leg injury walks down a street in New York - you know anything is possible on one of those Big City Nights. Roll the video - enjoy

236. Smooth Criminal - Alien Ant Farm - directed by Marc Klasfeld

July 3rd 2009 02:36

Alien Ant Farm
Alien Ant Farm


With the death of Michael Jackson I thought we'd take a look at this cover. The cover itself is not bad but the clip is hysterical as they cram as many MJ references as possible here's a list

The music video depicts the band performing in a wrestling ring at a house backyard. It also features numerous references to Michael Jackson:

* The video for the original "Smooth Criminal" is referenced when the band members do the video's anti-gravity lean.
* Various objects and sidewalk panels lighting up is a reference to the video for "Billie Jean." Additionally, an editing technique utilizing several split screens and freeze frames mirrors a similar sequence in "Billie Jean."
* The scene where lead singer Dryden Mitchell stands on a car and screams while its windows explode is taken from the controversial ending of the video for "Black or White".
* Several references are made to "Thriller", including the dance by the old men, the werewolf mask worn by the girl jumping into the pool, and the end of the video where a man turns to the camera with cat's eyes.
* The chimpanzee is a reference to Jackson's pet chimp Bubbles. In addition to that, the chair Mitchell is sitting on during the scenes with the chimp is shaped like a gloved hand.
* The Japanese school girls in uniforms holding the sign reading "We love AAF" is a reference to Jackson's idol status in Japan.
* Lead singer Mitchell rips a ventilation shaft grill from the ground, releasing steam. This is a combined reference to the video for the song "Bad", in which Jackson pulled a grill from a subway wall as well as another scene from the controversial ending of the video for "Black or White" where Jackson danced in steam rising from the ground.
* Michael Jackson-like vocalizations can be heard, including a high-pitched "Whoo!" several times in a row.
* The lead singer Mitchell pulls up his pants to expose his socks, much like Jackson.
* Drummer Mike Cosgrove wears one white studded glove.
* Bobby Edner performs a dance similar to the moves of Jackson. He wears an E.T. shirt, a reference to the E.T. storybook album narrated by Jackson. In an alternate version of the video, he is wearing a surgeon's mask, as Jackson often did in public.
* One man has a tattoo of Elizabeth Taylor on his back. In 1989, Taylor proclaimed Jackson as the King of Pop. The same man also sports lizard and/or cat like eyes, the same as Michael from the end of the Thriller video.

here's the clip - enjoy

235. The Universal - Blur - Directed by Jonathan Glazer

June 15th 2009 12:31
The Universal - Blur
Blur - The Universal


A great clip for a great song by a great band - The Universal was from Blur's fourth studio album The Great Escape. Their previous album Parklife featured two big ballads (To the End and This Is A Low). The Universal fits the same bill here. The clip is by British wunderkid director Jonathon Glazer (who thrilled us with the Jamiroquoi Virtual Insanity clip and then went on the direct feature films Sexy Beast and Birth). The clip is notable for it's homage to Stanley Kubrick's groundbreaking 1971 film A Clockwork Orange. The band are dressed up like the Droogs from the film and many of the shots are references to the film (Glazer has elements of Kubrick films in most of his clips). From the pinnacle of brit pop here is Blur's Universal - enjoy

234. Gold - Spandau Ballet

June 15th 2009 12:18
Gold - Spandau Ballet
Spandau Ballet


No band is quintessentially more 80's than UK pop new romantic sensation Spandau Ballet - led by the brothers Kemp they ruled the eighties with their power ballads and heart felt lyrics. This is one of my favourites and I am sure will bring alot of memories back for those who were around in 1983 - it went all the way to number #2 on the UK charts (during that time when Michael Jackson's thriller seemed to hold most of the number one spots). Hope you enjoy...

233. My Favourite Game - The Cardigans - Directed by Jonas Åkerlund

May 19th 2009 23:47

Cardigans - My Favourite Game
Cardigans - My Favourite Game


A great clip from the 1990's from director Jonas Åkerlund (clips for U2, Madonna and Macy Gray to his credit). It caused major controversy at the time in Europe due to the joyriding nature of the clip.

This was probably the biggest hit for the Swedish Rock band the Cardigans along with their song from the Romeo Juliet soundtrack - Lovefool.

Enjoy

232 - 60 Miles An Hour - New Order - Directed by Rob Leggatt and Leigh Marling

May 5th 2009 23:42

New Order - 60 Miles an Hour
60 mph New Order


British pop/rock outfit New Order had been together in one form or another for more than 20 years when they released this absolutely killer track in 2001 - great beat, great lyrics and a high level of musicality that have been the hallmark of their careers are all evident here in this amazing track - the clip which came out with the release of the track back in 2001 is a lot of fun and matches the lyrics of the song if not in a somewhat bizarre manner. Enjoy

231 - You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) - Dead or Alive

March 15th 2009 06:01

Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round
Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round


OK - because I gave rapper FloRida some air time for his hit Right Round I thought the kids might like to know where the idea originally came from (why is music today SOOOO unoriginal). The British electro pop outfit Dead or Alive had a monster hit with this back in the 80's - in fact in many ways this track is just about the definitive 80's pop song. The clip is very simple, made for nothing, low concept (the band spinning slowly on a turntable as they sing the lyric and it doesn't tell any story - what it does have is a really great performance from front man Pete Burns - in several kooky outfits, the purple kimono and the now notorious eye patch and the moment of multiple arms. Looks to me like someone's having fun. Hope you enjoy this blast from the past.

226. The Look - Roxette

February 25th 2009 03:58

The Look - Roxette
She's got the look


In the shadows of the 80's came this great catchy tune from Swedish group Roxette. While they were hugely popular in their own country nobody else in the world had heard them. An American exchange student who had just returned from Sweden implored local station KDWB Minneapolis to play The Look. A few months later the band had an international number one hit. And had also given the world the lyric - Tasty like a raindrop - she's got the look. The duo comprising of Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle went on to have many hits from their two big albums Look Sharp (which featured The Look) and Joyride. Hope you enjoy

225. Rock DJ - Robbie WIlliams - Directed by Vaughn Arnell

February 22nd 2009 11:24
Rock DJ Robbie WIlliams
Robbie Williams is usually comfortable in his own skin


Former Take That singer and then british pop superstar Robbie WIlliams got into all sorts of trouble with this brilliant clip in the year 2000. It is the explcit then gory nature of the clip as Robbie is performing to a group of rollerskating models and failing to win their attention - he is does a strip tease that doesn't get noticed and then...well anatomically speaking removes his skin and starts throwing muscles and organs at the rollerskating models who sensuously rub themselves with his discarded bits. I am doing this great clip by Vaughn Arnell - watch it and you'll know what I mean. Enjoy

220. Informer - Snow

February 17th 2009 02:39

Informer Snow
Snow Informer


This awful song comes from white Toronto based reggae rap artist Darren O'Brien performing under the name of Snow. Written while in Jail on an assault charge it became a massive one off hit for Snow. It features very fast near indistinguishable lyrics. It was produced by DJ Shan who does a cameo rap on it. It is a very average clip but should bring back memories for anyone who followed the charts along with a feeling of 'What were we thinking???' Enjoy

214. Rock Me Amadeus - Falco

January 25th 2009 23:28
Rock Me Amadeus Flaco
Falco Rock Me Amadeus


Johann Holzel a.k.a Falco was probably more successful in his native Austria in terms of longevity but there was this one moment where he had the attention of the whole world. Following on the Academy Award success of Milos Foreman's film of Peter Schaffer's play Amadeus, Falco released this electro pop classic with a crazy video incorporating both modern and old world Austrian design. The song is annoyingly memorable, with the rap parts done in a mxture of German and English and the familiar chorus "Rock Me Amadeus" done just like that.It just doesn't make sense but hey that was the eighties - enjoy

Fine Young Cannibals She Drives Me Crazy


A great quirky clip from the eighties and English rock pop outfit - The Fine Young Cannibals. Directed by Pedro Romhanyi. It was nominated for best video in the 1989 MTV video awards. Features some crazy dancing a guy with a TV for a head and definitely inspired the HotChip - Ready for the Floor video (which can also be found on this site. A fun clip - Enjoy

210. If I were a Boy - Beyonce Knowles - Directed by Jake Nava

January 23rd 2009 08:12
Beyonce If I Were A Boy
If I were a Boy Beyonce


Fresh from her starring role at the Obama Inauguration here's Beyonce Knowles and a big hit from last year - If I were a Boy. Directed by her main collaborator on film Jake Nava the video deals with the role reversal hinted at in the song. Beyonce and her partner swap roles and she goes out drinking with the guys and hanging out with his attractive work mate (they happen to be cops). Beyonce gets sprung canding with her attractive workmate but reality is restored and it is Beyonce who has been cheated on. Shot in Black and White which seems to suit her (as Jake Nava used on her next big hit Single Ladies - also on this site). Enjoy

209. Unfinished Sympathy - Massive Attack - Directed by Baillie Walsh

January 18th 2009 22:10
Unfinished Sympathy Massive Attack
Massive Attack Unfinished Sympathy


One of my favourite clips from British electronic outfit - Massive Attack. The song is breath taking in its sound and scope, it has an epic feel to it that comes from the combination of heavy almost classical string line and a relentless urban thumping beat.

Baillie Walsh's music video for the song matches its intensity visually. It is one of the first clips to be shot in one take with no edits. It follows the guest singer for the track (the incomparable Shara Nelson) as she sings the track walking down a Los Angeles street. The camera tracks her as she passes bikies, junkies, homeless people and others in a down trodden part of the city. There are also cameos from the members of the band (Robert 3D Del Naja, Grant Marshall and Andrew Vowles). A work of art that has been admired and endlessly copied since its release in 1991 on the ground breaking Blue Lines album. Enjoy.

208. Would I Lie To You - Eurythmics

January 16th 2009 23:53
Eurythmics Would I Lie To You
Would I Lie To You Eurythmics


An absolute killer track from brilliant British duo the Eurythmics. This song has an incredible blues and roots feel to it (hence the majority of people in the clip are black) and has that fierce gospel growl that Annie Lennox brings. The clip fits the song like a glove and has a narrative of Lennox's boyfriend having an argument with her before she goes on to perform. He then returns to continue it while shes on stage and the audience kick him out. Its a good clip to a truly great song - I know you'll enjoy this one.
