Absolutely wonderful.

FUTURESHOCK - "Late at Night"

Sometimes it seems like this late at night:



HERE's" a bit better version.

MONKEES - "Daily Nightly"

The Monkees getting all psychadelic:



Mickey Dolenz's vocals are pretty good, as is this song. A lost psychadelia classic. BONUS: One of the first uses of the MOOG SYNTHESIZER on an album.

Submitted for your approval - The Pot O' Gold

I fixed the hinges on her gate

Nick Cave rules.

THE BEATNIX - "Stairway to Heaven"

Best version EVER



DON'T YOU THINK?

DEVO - Mongoloid (A film by Bruce Conner)

This is pretty damn cool:

And he wore a hat
And he had a job
And he brought home the bacon
So that no one knew
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
His friends were unaware
Mongoloid he was a mongoloid
Nobody even cared

SHARON JONES & THE DAP-KINGS - "100 Days, 100 Nights"

This is cool... filmed with two vintage TV cameras:



Pretty damn cool.

TIM ARMSTRONG - "Into Action"

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!

LAURIE ANDERSON - "O Superman"

This is just to drive everybody nuts:



Yes, I actually like Laurie Anderson and this kind of stuff and this song in particular. Piss off.

The rotoscoped animation gives this a pretty cool feel.

This just kicks ass:

This is of course extra cool, combining two things I love: the Ramones and cartoons!

Louis Armstrong is one of the few people I would have actually like to have met.

I really like the lead singer's vocals, especially when he gets worked up. More from this band soon.

SONS OF BUTCHER - "Fuck the Shit"

Behold:



Indeed.

"Linda Linda Linda"

This just completely kicks ass:



Unfortunately it's the penultimate scene from a movie, so I just ruined it for you.

DATSUNS - "Harmonic Generator"

Retro-'70s effects:



Much better version here.

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.

THE RUNAWAYS - "Cherry Bomb"

*GULP*



*kaff*

Gotta get some air...

TALKING HEADS - "Once In a Lifetime"

This just stunned me when I first saw it... IT'S COOL TO BE WEIRD?

I liked this one... interesting rhythms.



And HERE'S a better version.

Submitted For Your Approval

DEBBIE HARRY & KERMIT THE FROG - "Rainbow Connection"

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



And the frog's pretty hot too.

XTC - "Making Plans For Nigel"

Classic:



Nigel just needs that helping hand.

CONCRETE BLONDE - "Still In Hollywood"

Yikes!



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

Best Tattoo EVER

I can't quite put my finger on what I like about this video...



WAIT, I got it! Dale Bozzio's BREASTS! And whatever the hell that is that she considers pants! Righti-o!

BULGARI - "Curare"

I really really really like this music video. The perfect combination of animation, comics and music!



And it tells a cool comic book story. Perfect!

A very nice version of this found here.

Chaiyya Chaiyya

Gotta love that Bollywood!

The Only Real Choice

(Click on image already.)



Do what's in your heart... VOTE SPHERE!

MURRAY HEAD - "One Night In Bangkok

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



Still, I had the 45 of this, never saw the movie it's from (CHESS)...

ENGLISH BEAT - "Save It For Later"

Classic dance tune:



Ah, the '80s...

WALL OF VOODOO - "Back In Flesh"

Stan Ridgeway is a god among men:

OK, this is just HILARIOUS!

The NATIONAL - "Apartment Story"

I thought this one was just beautifully choreographed to look effortless. Check it out:



Though as a friend asked "Do you know how hard it is to get actors to look like they're just chatting like normal people?"

HERE is the nice version... well worth watching this one.

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!

DANIELSON - "Did I Step On Your Trumpet?"

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:



HERE is a cleaner version!

HEARTSREVOLUTION - "C.Y.O.A."

Pretty cool visuals in this one:



Choose your own adventure.

PRIMITIVES - "Crash"

A forgotten '80s band:



More nostalgic than classic. This song certainly has that "New Wave" sound.

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.

JOE PLASKETT EMERGENCY - "Fashionable People"

This is one of my favorites:



Hilarious!

Much better version here.

REMI NICOLE - "Go Mr. Sunshine"

Here's a great number, with a very cool video:



And here's the "better than YouTube" version.
