Everything that was old that was new that was old again ends up being new again:



Not that there's anything bad about Ska at all!

MAGAZINE - "Shot By Both Sides"

Another classic from a somewhat-overlooked band:



I work my way to the heart of the crowd.

This is just to drive everybody nuts:

The rotoscoped animation gives this a pretty cool feel.

This is one of the first videos I found in my internet prowls... it's simply amazing.

Behold:



Indeed.

LEV & THUMPBOT - "Crazy"

Who doesn't love the theremin?



OK, not everybody. Sorry.

ARCADE FIRE - "Neon Bible"

This video is really cool. Well, not this YouTube version



but the one you find HERE... it's interactive in that you click around on it while it's playing and different things occur... you can make it different every time. As a friend said "THIS is what the internet was supposed to deliver!" Indeed.

THE CRIBS - "Men's Needs"

NAKED CHICK ALERT!

Oh, and the song's pretty good too:



For the ADULTS among us, HERE'S the unedited version. Funny how the nudity is stripped (heh) of it's sexuality. Mostly.

Retro-'70s effects:



Much better version here.

THE RUNAWAYS - "Cherry Bomb"

*GULP*



*kaff*

There's something about Debbie Harry that I find attractive... maybe it's that coke-addled vulnerability...

MURRAY HEAD - "One Night In Bangkok

A bit too much of that "chunk-a chunk" '80s sound...

A true dance anthem:



This song still sounds fresh...

Pretty cool.

FUTON - "Strap It On"

Yikes!



Yes, I have a weakness for "club dance" music.

RAMONES - "Bonzo Goes to Bittburg" + Chris Stein and some go-go girls or something

This is how I imagine it was like every day in the '80s for the Ramones... bitch about the state of music, then play a song and some hot chicks show up and dance.



And then they all go out for a pizza snack!

Best Fascist Toys EVER

1930s Italian blackshirts

A very nice version of this found here.

This video is just completely awesome... I love the whole "high school play" look of the sets and the props, and they really have things timed perfectly for all the rapid changes:

Pretty cool, no?

RJD2 - "Work It Out"

This is just plan cool:



From the YouTube link:

This is the video for Rjd2's "Work It Out" from 'The Third Hand' (XL Recordings). The vid features Bill Shannon who was born with a degenerative hip condition. His legs cannot carry his own weight and so he has lived a life on crutches. He has developed a new way of moving through life on his skateboard and the crutches. Though this may look like a recreational hobby or a debilitation, it is simply how Bill maneuvers throughout the day. In time to Rjd2's song "Work It Out" we follow Bill as he makes his way around. At the slow start, Bill is descending the courthouse steps in downtown Brooklyn. It's difficult, but he makes it down and the rest you'll just have to watch to understand. Rjd2 plays several extras which you can try to spot as well. The video, directed by Joey Garfield, is one continuous single shot for the length of the song.

And here's the cleaner version.

SEX PISTOLS - "God Save the Queen"

The Pistols, in all their glory:



Brings a tear to this old man's eye...
