Hey, everyone.
So midterms are kicking my ass, and that doesn’t bode well for tons ‘o reviewin’, but I’m going to try and bring you at least one or two Halloween music videos over the next few days. For now, I leave you with a list of links to some punk-blues-alt-country video links that an […]
The Mother Truckers
“Love Me Like A Man”
I bring you another first for me during this week of country music videos: a live video. I never, ever post live videos, ’cause, well…they aren’t real music videos. I mean, they’re videos of music being played, but…come on. When was the last time Chris Cunningham […]
Faith Hill and Tim McGraw
“Let’s Make Love”
Album: Breathe
This video is unquestionably well shot, but beyond that, there’s not much really going on here. Hey…just like the song! BAA-zing!
Basically, Faith and Tim have eloped to Paris, where she looks hot and he looks like someone told him he was doing a guest spot on […]
Hey, so here’s the deal.
I have friends who read this blog, and one of them pointed out that one of the genres I’ve yet to touch is country. In my defense, this is because country music is heinous.
I argued that my Bright Eyes video the other week came pretty close, but was rebuffed. […]
The Shake
“Manic Boogie”
Album: Kick It
Simple concept + stellar execution = viral video primed to explode. So maybe blue screen frames aren’t exactly the most original idea ever–who cares? Director Powell Weaver took a simple technology and ran with it, allowing the band to literally be everywhere at once. Does the band maybe […]
Courtney Love
“Mono”
Album: Mono (Single)
So while it probably wasn’t a federal crime to let Courtney Love around little children, much less hand them power tools in her tender, motherly presence, it certainly wasn’t one would traditionally call a “good” idea.
Same goes for the idea of them spilling from her loins in a supermarket.
I can only hope […]
OCM
“How Bizarre”
Album: How Bizarre
If The Rock—–>
and 1970’s Frank Langella—–>
had a child, that child’s band’s album cover would look like this:
It would also have eyebrows that go on enough adventures to justify a cartoon show, comic book, and toy line based around them. Hope you’re ready to buy your kid […]
Tunng
“Bullets”
Album: Good Arrows
This morning I woke up wondering why I’d never seen a music video that took the concept of 2001’s floating space rock, the Monolith, and replaced the it with a big ball of trash with a band trapped inside and then at the end the band blows up the sun. Imagine my […]
Royksopp
“Remind Me”
Album: Melody A.M.
You know what I don’t like to think about? The amount of work it took to conceptualize and animate this video. It probably took more effort than all the effort I’ve expended in my entire life. And I’ve expended a lot of effort. Like this one time I […]
Matchbox Twenty
“How Far We’ve Come”
Album: Exile In the Mainstream
How much cooler would history class be if Matchbox Twenty’s Rob Thomas taught it? Way cooler. And short. Really, really short. 1960’s to now? Give him three minutes; it’s pretty simple. It started with some people marching around a lot. […]
