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.

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.

LCD SOUNDSYSTEM - "Tribulations"

I find myself enjoying this video on a complete AV nerd level... lots of basic camera tricks in this one make for a top-notch package.



Here it is in a much cleaner .mov format.

I'll be coming back to this band again.
