Daniel Warwick directed this video for Fettes Brot which kind of reminds me of something you would have seen in the 80’s for Devo. Minus the amazing vivid color, art direction and super stylized sets of course. The whole video is pretty strange and I am not entire sure what the aim was but it is definitely entertaining.
Here is a really beautiful little video for the Portland band AU, for their new release ‘Versions’ that was directed and produces by Takafumi Tsuchiya (TAKOM).
This is from Madder Mortem’s forthcoming release ‘Where Dream & Day Collide’, coming May 10th, 2010. There is some amazing 3D animation going on here not to mention some artfully crafted matte painting.

The Flaming Lips “I Can Be A Frog”
This is the latest video from the Flaming Lips. It features a nice looking young lady in a bikini doing animal impersonations. Everyone loves animals and bikinis. Personally, I have always loved The Flaming Lips.
Dandelion & Burdock is a design and media company specialising in moving image, interactive media, web and editorial design. They have some unusual work in their portfolio and some beautiful music videos.
The effects in this video are very choice. I must admit to not being much of a fan for the song but the video merits a watch just for the VFX alone.

The Big Pink is a really interesting mash-up of musical styles. You can hear influences from all over the place in their music. If you can get through the ‘droning’ at the beginning of the song you will be richly rewarded by the vocals. The video is expertly shot and art directed as well.

Jonas and Francois are a French (Paris-based) directing duo that are responsible for some of the more memorable music videos in the last couple years. Their roster of music video clientele includes Ed Banger Records, Kanye West, JUSTICE (the video above for D.A.N.C.E. is brilliant) and Kavinsky, among others. Several of their videos have spread like wildfire across the web in the last few months.
You can find out a little more about them at their MySpace page and if you are looking for a music video or commercial with a French creative twist they are currently repped by Caviar Content.
Apparently, since I missed it because I am a nine to fiver, We Have Band was the talk of the town at this year’s SXSW. So let me introduce you if you were like me and have yet to hear. This is the video for their current single ‘Oh!’ directed by Tom Ellis at Last Seagull.
Directed by Ray Tintori. Will the wondrous collision of modern technology, music and visuals ever cease? I say no.
Really digging School of Seven Bells lately and this video just made me dig them that much more.

I am really digging this new diddy by Home Video. They made me feel it. They kind of sound like Radiohead with a little added oomph.
“Running with the Beast is a video for the band zZz
Roel made a music video, and a series of posters. The project is about two artists who have created the conditions to capture rage n a sytematic way.
Two colored cocks print their fight on a sheet of paper.”
I am pretty sure that is the last time you will see the words ‘colored cocks’ used in a context that won’t get you punched in the face. Those sure are some mean and angry cocks though. You gotta admit that. They are artsy too.
