Hmmm…does this make me one of these ‘hipsters’ I’ve heard so much about?

The Residents have a bunch of really cool videos in conjunction with their Commercial Album…“Moisture” is probably my favorite of the bunch. “O Superman” by Laurie Anderson is another favorite…and pretty much everything the Talking Heads ever put out, as well…

(Well, with the exception of that one song on Naked with the explicitly political video.)

Anything by Encyclopedia Pictura. Just look at what they did for Björk’s ‘Wanderlust’.

Freetime by Kenna (just feet!)
& Let Forever Be by the Chemical Brothers

aaaannndd! the classic Bob Dylan – Subterranean Homesick Blues the most wonderful of them all.

I’m not into music videos, but I really like
Bob Dylan – Subterranean Homesick Blues
The Cure – Lullaby
Mum – They Made Frogs Smoke ’Til They Exploded
Radiohead – 2+2=5
Moby – Shot In The Back Of The Head
The Beatles – I am the Walrus

I think I should watch more videos

Coil – Egyptian Basses (by Derek Jarman)

Strange and hypnotizing

.

Never seen repeating shots quite like the ones in this video. The fast moving camera and jerky shots, along with precise editing and great crowd shots, really add to the feel of the song.

This video perfectly captures the energy of the song. Not many videos can do that.
