I’ll be honest straight away, and tell you all that I only know two They Might Be Giants songs, this one, Boss Of Me, and Birdhouse In Your Soul.
That’s it, just the two, even though the band must have been going for years, because I remember Birdhouse from aeons back.
I am however a big fan […]
This song is The Fray with How To Save A Life. Some of you will be wondering what this video is, because as soon as the record got some airplay, everyone wanted a piece, and so there are multiple versions around.
Forget the Scrubs one, forget the Greys Anatomy one, this is the original and the […]
This is Bjork’s brand new single Declare Independence, which isn’t released until January 1st 2008, but as soon as I saw the video, I knew I had to get it on Killed By The Video Star.
Straight away, I’ve got to say, how absolutely bizarre this whole thing is, with both the song and video confusing […]
This is a strange video, and quite a weird song if I’m honest. I can’t believe this is actually 13 years old now, as I remember it coming out as if it were yesterday.
The song is off Weezer’s first album, often referred to as The Blue Album, when really it was just self titled. A […]
This is Kid Sister with Pro Nails, her first collaboration with Kanye West, who is apparently her mentor. That just puts me in mind of Obi-Wan Kenobi tutoring Anakin Skywalker, and we all know how that turned out.
I’m not implying for a second that Kanye is going to try and teach Kid Sister how to […]
The first thing I have to get off my chest is how did Timbaland get away with securing all the credit on this song? It’s a One Republic song surely, and his only real contribution is the production on it?
Having said all that, I’ve chosen his version over the original, so he obviously knows what […]
An oldie but goodie today for all readers of Killed By The Video Star, with Cake’s Short Skirt, Long Jacket.
I remember the first time I saw this on MTV and thought to myself “what the hell?” The song is class, but at the time I wondered what the band were thinking asking people what they […]
Radiohead have made quite a few headlines in the last few months, after they decided to eschew the chance to make a killing with their new record, and instead offered it as a download for whatever price people wanted to pay.
The experiment was a mixed success, with most people seemingly choosing to pay nothing for […]
Like the Foo Fighters, who I featured yesterday here on Killed By The Video Star, the Beastie Boys are a group wh take their music videos seriously… well not literally, as their usually full of humour, but you know what I mean.
You can expect to see quite a few Beastie Boys videos cropping up here […]
I’ve yet to see a bad Foo Fighters music video, they just don’t make them. It seems that each one they release has every ounce of talent and effort put in to it as their music does.
And this new one for Long Road To Ruin is no exception, carrying on the career long trend for […]
