WHITE STRIPES - "Fell In Love With A Girl"

Another true classic, directed by Michael Gondry:



Best use of LEGO™ ever.

WHITE STRIPES- "The Hardest Button To Button"

In case you missed it:



Classic Michael Gondry vid.

LYKKE LI - "Dance Dance Dance"

OK, I admit to a fascination with Lykke Li. There. I said it. Watch this:



I like it.

LYKKE LI - "Breaking It Up"

I just can't decide 100% about this gal... she's very compelling with a great voice and thoughtful lyrics, but that megaphone schtick has got to go:



And HERE'S a better version...

Submitted for your approval - The Greatest Photograph Ever In The Entire Universe

CAB CALLOWAY - Reefer Man

Wonder how much a dime bag was going for back then...



By the way, that was a trick question. What, are you high?

CRAMPS - "Surfin' Bird"

Just turn this up:



Ooo maw maw ooo maw maw.

JAMIE LIDELL - "The City"

I like this guy's attitude... looks like a '70s punk. Who is shaving on the street. In front of a liquor store. With a Lady Bic©.



HERE'S the link to Lidell's website. To view a better version of this video, click on the link and then look for the guy shaving on the right side of the page.

JUSTICE - "Stress"

This video is getting a lot of discussion due to the unapologetic violence:



What say you?

HERE'S the better version.

MOLOKO - "Indigo"

Who doesn't love '70s devil/witchcraft movies?



Click HERE for a much better version.

VITALIC - "You and I"

Just another day.



HERE'S a much better version.

The contents of my briefcase are identical to that guy's...

GAP BAND - "You Dropped a Bomb On Me"

This one goes out to oh forget it.



Earworm Central.

REPUBLICA - "Drop Dead Gorgeous"

Sigh. Another piece of the puzzle that is The Sphere of Repugnance...



What can I say? I'm drop-dead gorgeous!

DEAD OR ALIVE - You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)

While I'm in that weird mood, there's this:



What the hell is wrong with that guy? Reading their Wikipedia entry, it seems they once topped the Japanese charts for SEVENTEEN WEEKS! Who knew.

SQUEEZE - "Cool For Cats"

Squeeze, another fine band, from a very good year indeed:



They're cool for cats. This album is long gone from my collection. Sadly.

ECHO & the BUNNYMEN - "The Cutter"

Spare us:



"I see another herd approaching." is just a classic line. This song has many.

And then there's this huge joke with the missus and I about what a "cutter" is...

ECHO & the BUNNYMEN - "Lips Like Sugar"

This song also makes me sad:



But there is redemption. Plus those damn lips.

ECHO & the BUNNYMEN- "The Killing Moon"

This song always makes me feel incredibly sad:



Still does.

MARK OSBORNE "MORE" - music "Eligia" by NEW ORDER

Um:



I remember this song being on a "mix tape" that my sister had from a friend of hers, and being incredibly stoned while listening to it. I was young then, and enjoyed it immensely.

ABC - "Be Near Me"

All my dreams came true last night:



Don't ask, please.

ABC - "How to be a Millionaire"

This brings back lots of unspeakable memories:



Tell me tell me
How to be
A millionaire

2001: A Space Odyssey - HAL 9000

A completely classic film moment:



I'm afraid Dave.

KRAFTWERK - "Autobahn"

My aunt in Germany actually sent me this album back in 1975 or so... it was the popular thing:


I guess they were the first with this kind of music, just like they were first with those kind of highways. After playing this for my friends (and having Mutti translate) we went out and bought the next album TRANS EUROPE EXPRESS. You can hear where John Carpenter got EVERY SINGLE SOUNDTRACK for his movies...

GAYLE FARREL & DICK DALE - "One Toke Over the Line"

This is so damn funny


I was laughing so hard I kicked over the bong.

RUSSIAN! SPACE! PIRATES!

Actually this is a song by Mumiy Troll, apparently for some themed TV show with other bands. Al I know is that it is awe-inspiring.


And of course, HERE is the better version!

KEITH MOON - "Barbara Ann"

Holy smokes!



Strange times, eh?

THE DAMNED - "Smash It Up"

Classic:



I'd show you "Neat Neat Neat", but all the YouTube vids suck.

Fuck Planet Earth

This is too damn funny:



FUUUUCK!

TINY TIM - "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?"

No.



I think you're really really weird.

CLICK HERE to bask in a better version of this freak.

THE CRAMPS - "What's Inside a Girl?"

I love raunch



So obviously I love The Cramps! (Hi Gary!)

DAVID BOWIE - "Drive-In Saturday"

He emerged even MORE glamorous.



Best line: "His name is always BUDDY!" as only Bowie can sing it!

DAVID BELLE does some amazing parkour

Behold:



What is parkour? CLICK HERE!

CHEECH & CHONG - "Basketball Jones"

For your perusal:



Can you name the song/group this was parodying?

ETHEL SMITH - "Tico Tico" and more

This woman really knows her way around a Hammond Organ:



Obviously the current generation doesn't have a lock on "cool"...

TOM WAITS - Down By Law footage

NOLA:



Tom Waits rules. That is all.

THE RIGHT BROTHERS - "Bush Was Right"

And on that note:



Actually, Bush wasn't right.

Not a joke, not a parody. Sadly.
