yes please

more pumpkins

amazing.

hot track

great song. crazy video. the bastard love child of max ernst & michel gondry.

the new pornographers

amazing video. watch out kids, love is dangerous. it will change you... and melt shit.

slow show, valerie

my two absolute favorite songs right now: on repeat like crazy.

the national: slow show

Standing at the punch table swallowing punch
can’t pay attention to the sound of anyone
a little more stupid, a little more scared
every minute more unprepared

I made a mistake in my life today
everything I love gets lost in drawers
I want to start over, I want to be winning
way out of sync from the beginning

I wanna hurry home to you
put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I’m very, very frightening
I’ll overdo it

mark ronson feat amy winehouse - valerie - this video is amazingly fun.


Well sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you're doing and in my head I paint a picture

'Cos since I've come on home, well my body's been a mess
And I've missed your ginger hair and the way you like to dress
Won't you come on over, stop making a fool out of me
Why won't you come on over Valerie, Valerie?

Did you have to go to jail, put your house on up for sale, did you get a good lawyer?
I hope you didn't catch a tan, I hope you find the right man who'll fix it for you
Are you shopping anywhere, changed the colour of your hair, are you busy?
And did you have to pay the fine you was dodgin all the time are you still dizzy?

downfall

delicious - final cut.

siempre me quedara

of late, obsessed with this song. so dead sexy.

throwback

the smashing pumpkins had great videos. here's a throwback inspiration lately.

here is the film they are referencing - george melies, une voyage dans la lune.

unfairly treated carls

a fantastic suggestion from jge. my favorite is the violation of carls human rights. i think every carl ive ever known has had his rights violated. why is that so? and, frankly, how is that fair? does ANYBODY know a fairly treated carl?

wolf like me

i LOVE this video. guess who is interviewing them in july?!

[postscript] it looks a bit like MY video. very very fishy. BITERS! ;)

spokinn movement: delicious

my first music video.

more vids!

it's been a while since i last updated - was working on a music video of my own which will debut shortly on this site. in the meantime two AWESOME videos i found recently.



The SoftLightes' "Heart Made of Sound"



Fujiya & Miyagi "Ankle Injuries"

animated creep

thanks to crab for sending this along. its altering.

sophe lux

my latest obsession! rock opera, anyone? the lead singer is gwynneth haynes (sister of filmmaker todd haynes)

check out their myspace page - the song "stella" is also amazing.

finally sun

the secret handshake: too young
i LOVE this song but this video BLOWS. my treatment was so much better! bollocks.
general johnson & the chairmen of the board: carolina girls
i recently learned how to shag. i think i'm getting better and better. this performance is pretty inspiring though.
the dirty projectors: jolly jolly jolly ego
el-p: flyentology
trent reznor! this video is so wicked good!
hotel alexis: silver waves crash through
prodigy: stuck on you
i aspire to make hip hop videos as good as this. look at all those billlllls! alright i'm joking but this song is friggin hot.
elvis perkins: while you were sleeping
i was sad i missed this - live at the bowery.
daft punk: something about us
fucking excellent video - anime is so beautiful and heartbreaking when its done well.
the frames: falling slowly
not the most interesting video but i love the lyrics nonetheless.
small sails: sonnambulist
feist: so sorry
feist: 1, 2, 3, 4
this video was shot in one take. and, um, her costume is kitsch-tacularly amazing. i want to dance as awkwardly and endearingly as she does.
air: once upon a time.
what i wouldn't do to direct an air video - although i much prefer this one. chewing gum sings!
nick cave: into my arms
one of the best love songs i know. anyone else find this video hard to watch?
smashing pumpkins: ava adore.
incredible. also shot in one take. thanks to mne.

a soundtrack for sara

these songs are the way my roommate sounds.

serge gainsbourg: cha cha cha du loup - incredible! i dont know if its the video for the actual song but its an awesome little animation.
"L'était une fille, douce et tendre comme toi, toute aussi gentille, se promenait dans les bois - et voilà soudain qu'en chemin- elle aperçoit l'grand méchant loup aux abois. Hou ! Hou ! Hou ! Hou ! Cha cha cha du loup!
peter bjorn & john: young folks - sweet little video
"if i told you things i did before, told you how i used to be... would you go along with someone like me? if you knew my story word for word, had all of my history... would you go along with someone like me?"
bebe: siempre me quedara - so friggin sexy are you kidding me!
"siempre me quedara, la voz suave del mar, wolver a respirar la lluvia que caera sobre este cuerpo y mojara. la flor crece en me y volver a reir y cada dia un instante volver a pensar en ti."
richard bona: kalabancoro - this isnt a video but you can hear the song here. beautiful.
the apples in stereo: mellotron 1
of montreal: suffer for fashion - live
"lets go together, lets do it together, lets go together, FOCUS, uh-huh, i'm calling, what's the sense? eleven eleven forever forever, uh, pretty sirens don't go flat, its not supposed to happen like that..."

post break

johnny & june carter cash: darlin' companion - live in denmark!
"darlin' companion, come on & give me understandin' and let me be your champion: a hand to hold your pretty hand in."
calla: defenses down
"i set you on a pedestal, there for me to praise & adore you. destined to fall from grace with god, happens when you leave your defenses down."
nick cave: there she goes, my beautiful world - pretty great live version at brixton academy.
"nabokov wrote on index cards at a lectem, in his socks, st john of the cross did his best stuff imprisoned in a box...well, me, i'm lying here with nothing in my ears."
eluvium: radio ballet - you can hear a bit of the song here - but here is ballet mechanique - a film by fernand leger which has nothing to do with the song other than they remind me of each other. one of my favorites.
dandy warhols: get off
"yeah maybe i fought once i thought i was sane, but all i wanna do is get off and feel it for a minute like the real thing baby, i guess i already forgot."
elvis presley: heartbreak hotel - oh god. so good. it hurts.
"and although its always crowded, you still can find some room, where broken hearted lovers do cry away their gloom"
ok fine - here's another elvis video. i cant get enough of elvis videos.
air: once upon a time.
neko case: runnin out of fools
"everyone in town's got your number, everybody's got you pegged right, is that why you got in touch with me? oh, guess you must be runnin' out of fools."
