Interesting music videos
 

The art of the music video has been lost in a whirlwind of suck. However, I found one today that contained no rump shakin, no bling, no messianic posing on a clifftop in the rain, no sex, nobody making the \m/ sign. It was kind of refreshing. And it's really beautifully done.

From fark.com: Grandaddy's new music video was programmed in Applesoft II on a 1979 Apple ][+ with 48K of RAM. Seriously.

Yah, chalk up another retro-cool bandwagon victim, but the execution was brilliant, I thought.

Anyone else have an example of a music video that you would never find Eminem in?

I'm partial to the "Devil went down to Georgia" claymation.

Down Under and Who Can It Be Now by Men at Work.

And anything by Peter Gabriel.

I didn't realize MTV still had videos.

Great link. Thanks mrnoodle.

You wouldn't happen to have a video link, would you?

No, but it is hidden on Primus' "Rhinoplasty" CD, and it is on their recent CD/DVD combo release. I'm sure it can be found on the net, though.

Does the Granddaddy video qualify as a lost art?

I recorded "MTV's 100 Top Videos" in 1985. I still pull those tapes out from time to time.

Oh wow!! Now that is cooler than cool.

Yes, in that it doesn't follow the "let's hire a major Hollywood director to make a million-dollar video of our star writhing around with a bunch of models" template. The little program was written with an eye toward artistry, and the shot at the end was cool too.

That being said, Britney Spears in that "Toxic" video is just....hot. Trashy, but hot.

Oh, good. I'm not the only middle-aged man with a dark secret lust.

Hmmm, that's why it wouldn't compile...

I really like the Green Day video for "wake me up when September ends." It's cool.

My favorite videos of all time (in no particular order):

A-ha - Take on Me
Peter Gabriel - Big Time
Peter Gabriel - Sledgehammer
Jamiroquai - Virtual Insanity

Is this sass?
