still busy!

posted August 2, 2006 #

Guess what? I'm still busy. I'm going out of town this weekend and tomorrow I'm not even going to be in the office that much. These things combined mean I am playing catch up on items that I've not yet even fallen behind on. That make sense? Yea, me neither. Here are some music videos:


OK Go
I thought maybe the homespun choreography thing would get old but once again, it proves that it has some staying power. A new song, a new video, a lot more treadmills, and every bit as entertaining.. if not more.

Thom Yorke
The short depth of field trick makes everything in the video look like a model, even the people protesting. Unfortunately the trick gets old after awhile and doesn't carry the video / song that well.. but it is a nice trick.

Beck
This song is supposedly taken from his forthcoming Nigel Godrich produced 'hip-hop' album. I don't hear the hip-hop but the song is good. The video is eh, so-so - but that's not really the point here.

Raconteurs
Much much better video than their Jim Jarmusch debut (sorry, I know he's got the indie cred but the video was crap - why didn't they just go with the original!?). I like watching videos where it appears that the band is enjoying themselves, even if its just a front for the cameras, I appreciate it.
