well after someone posted the four tet video last week i thought it might be a good idea to have a thread where we could give a little heads up to our favourite new videos.

so i want to share this one from my new favourite band, the decemberists. they were described by pitchfork as 'the indie rock version of the max fischer players' and their new video has a great 'rushmore' feel to it.

here is sixteen military wives.

plus its a very succinct analogy about the need for international cooperation in the face of an overbearing militaristic superpower.

Very Rushmore esque, thanks pots I really enjoyed that.

Here's one in return Blood Red Sandman by Lordi.

One for fans of the Evil Dead trilogy.

my windows media keeps 'buffering' - i can't see it!

Boo!

Give it time, it works alright for me just takes a while.

Or you could just right click 'save target as'.

It's pretty funny stuff.

Maybe this one will work for you pots

Sticking with the 'Rushmore' theme (and why not) here is the video for Knock Yourself Out by Jon Brion from the movie 'I Heart Huckabees' and starring Jason Schwartzman and Mark Wahlberg.

bollocks

and 'knock yourself out' is one of my favourite sayings too.

I'm not having much luck am I?

i think its me with the bad luck.

i love my little mac, but sometimes you remember that the world runs on pcs.

CKY

Check these out. They rule.

I can't look at that for some reason. Which song is it anyway?

anything that 'rules' more likely than not doesn't.

Well this is an exeption.

Look at mine look at mine, they're great.

Ah the link doesnt work lol....its the video for 96 quite bitter beings, attached at the hip and flesh into gear.

This Does Work

Watching 'Serenity' last night we were reminded of the fantastic video for Radiohead's 'Just', which amongst other places you can find here.

Just why is he lying in the middle of the pavement?

CKY? Yuk.

Your Heart is an Empty Room - Death Cab for Cutie.

Lovely animated video, triple J may like this one.

Not the best of their videos. Try to track down Inhuman Creation Station. Great stop motion animation.

Someone Saved my Life Tonight - Elton John

One for Ellie, watch out it does contain nipples (that's not why I think Ellie will like it). David La Chappelle extravaganza - features a lot of glitter.

Splendid, I'll have a nosey at home (stupid work computer has no Quicktime/Realplayer/any fucking thing to let me see fun stuff)

Simple, but completely beautiful, video for Jed's Other Poem (Beautiful Ground) by Grandaddy.

Programmed in Applesoft II on a 1979 Apple ][+ with 48K of RAM.

I think I've seen that, but I can't download bastard quicktime here. I will endeavour to check this later, if Fireman James isn't clogging the wires with his chatroom bitches.

I think it's a different one now, they rotate every couple of weeks with a new animation.

Come on my Selector

Squarepusher

Living Proof - Cat Power

Ok Go - A Million Ways

I love videos where bands dance.

Don't Let me Down - The Beatles

I can't see them going anywhere

Glosoli - Sigur Ros

Cold Hands, Warm Heart - Brendan Benson

As beautiful as the song, that one.

Jose Gonzalez - Stay in the Shade

Beck - Hell Yes

Rubber Johnny - Aphex Twin

*shivers*

Or if you don't fancy being disturbed

Juice Box - The Strokes

Featuring David Cross and some hot lesbian action - surely a favourite on this forum.

"Please welcome Stroke with 'Juicy Juice'!"

Evil - Interpol

The Chemical Brothers - Believe - Spent a fair while searching the 'net for this, because a few of my friends have never seen it and I was really impressed by it.

The Cure - Lullaby - This scared me so much as a child, even hearing it on the radio would frighten me. It still chills me thinking about it now.

Both excellent vids - especially Believe; its bloody terrifying, and filmed around Goodge Street Station round the corner from me. Not sure which is worse though - a giant robotic arm or the Church of Scientology they have there.

Lemon Jelly - Nice Weather for Ducks

Will Young's new video has a Look Around You feel to it. It uses old clips of Blue Peter from the 70s/early 80s and has Will in place of John Noakes and Peter Purves.

Wife Of Rolex

Electric Eel Shock - Bastard - its not big, its not clever, but it is funny, in a madcap sorta way.

ok here's the flaming lips covering bohemian rhapsody - be careful though, its got nudity!

and while i'm on antville here is an amazing video from jon spencer's blues explosion - flavor - but its not the version off the album, its got mike d and beck on it.

dammit thats cool. 'the bloooze is number one!'

Cheers Zoe for pointing me in the direction of this thread. Anyway, Gorillaz. I like the video a lot.

And cameos from current presenter Konnie Huq (she is the soldier in the cap at the top of the 'death slide') and current pet Mabel, who is sat with Will towards the end of the vid.

Now not that this is what you meant at all but a few of my local shop buddies and myself made some silly webcam music videos. Here is one of mine, it's good for a laugh anyway (at my expense).

Dunno if there's anywhere more fitting for me to post this but here will do for now.

me pissing about

Kid Carpet - Carrier Bag - a silly video, for a silly song, by a silly man.

Who looks exactly like my one of my housemates. He was also one of the strangest support acts I've ever seen, especially considering he was supporting Willy Mason.

I saw him supporting The Pipettes and The Go! Team. Not a bad triple bill really.

That would have been one hell of a gig, certainly one of the most eclectic and interesting bills I've ever heard of.

my mate simons band

www.klaxons.net

hes the one who blows the kiss

I love that video, it's so weird and cheap but charming at the same time.

Oingo Boingo - "Nothing Bad Ever Happens"

Aww, they really don't make them like they used to. (And by that I mean "on a shoestring budget w/ all manner of unexplained strangeness.") A gem from one of my top five bands of all time.

OK Go-'A Million Ways'

Hobbes mentioned this yesterday and I remembered how good a video it is. Their songs have gotten better as well, they may just escape the 'Jack White's old band' tag that has dogged them so far.

Andy Serkis once played with this risible lot

This is the best video ever made

Go to

Youtube and dig out any pop videos that make you laugh, cry or rock like a beast. Then post `em here.
