Music videos past and present
I love music videos - watching them, writing about them and making my own on extremely limited budgets. Great videos are part of the reason I like pop music.
I know this blog has a rubbish name but to be honest you're all lucky I didn't call this something like 'Video Filled The Internet Fnar'.
Unfortunately some record companies don't like other people embedding their videos in order to give them more publicity, so I apologise on their behalf if any of the videos I post are no longer available.
Feel free to go to Youtube.com and complain about this daft precedent (or just search for the video there instead).
You can follow my posts on livejournal here: vidsarealright
Or get the straight RSS instead.
Best of 2002: I didn’t even know there was a video for this track until last week, let alone one featuring a giant skeleton duck rampaging through the streets of New York (and doing a shit down a chimney whilst being fired on by a tank). Not even Superted with his brand new kung-fu skills can halt its destructive progress.
It’s been oooh, at least a week since I posted an animated video filled with violence and gore. But this one has Ghostface Killah’s cheeky face in it! Awwww isn’t he sweet, bashing the blood and guts out of some anonymous ninja cadavers. Meanwhile the remaining Wu lads finally get to realise their dreams of becoming Power Rangers. Avoid if you don’t fancy getting cartoon brains all over your monitor, otherwise well worth a watch.
Ms Dynamite leads a crack squad of animated ninjas in a rooftop fight against some samurais and a robot minotaur (!), and (as far as I know) uses some actual dynamite for the first time in her music video career! The team’s efforts are rewarded with some takeaway Pukka Pies and plenty of chips. Absolutely brilliant.
