Music Videos
Music and Art go hand in hand with each other. I know that I can’t work without having music playing in the background, and it’s almost as if they both inspire each other, especially when watching music videos. Here are some of the ones I’ve been into for a little bit (I’ll spare you the Lady GaGa and Justin Beiber music videos because you all have probably already seen them, ha). Some of them are super old and some of them aren’t.
I have been a fan of The Knife for a long time, and then I heard the girl from that band was starting a solo project, and this was the first single and video from it. This instantly got me hooked and hyped for her album. Such a great video, the atmosphere is amazing, and the song is great as well
The Yeah Yeah Yeahs It’s Blitz album was one of my favorites of 2009. This video has a little bit of everything in it. It has the lovely Karen O, but it also has a dancing werewolf and some really interesting scenes involving blood and guts. So good, whenever I’m bored, I throw this video on.
Kid CuDi might have put out one of the best debut Hip-Hop albums in recent memory, if not one of the best albums of 2009. This is one of my favorite songs on the album and the video is perfect for it, I love watching what goes on behind the scenes!
I debated weather I put this video up, or the one for The Arcade, but this one has a higher production value to it. I’ve been into Hyper Crush for a long time, they are one of those bands you either love or hate. I love them, I love everything about them. I love how they throw in references from video games, cartoons and other nostalgia from when I was a kid…and of course I am in love with Holly Valentine as well. Enjoy! (or don’t)
Yes…yes…another Kid CuDi video, but this time it has Kanye and Common on it, so it’s a little bit different! Anyways, this video is amazing, everything about it rocks, from the split screen to…actually every single shot on the video, and the song is great (yeah, i said no GaGa…but…).
This video is the original reason why I decided to start this thread. I don’t know much about the band, but I do know that all the illustration was done by one of my favorite artists right now, Douglas Bicicleta. It’s exactly how he’s art looks on the posters for the Black Drawing Chalks. It almost has an old Heavy Metal movie vibe and I just simply love it…absolutely perfect. The music aint bad either.
Anyways, that’s all I got so far. I hope there is some stuff there that you hadn’t heard or seen…if not I’m sorry…I’m sure I’ll do something like this again when I see some other videos that I like.
Thanks for getting me into Hyper Crush. I just downloaded Mixtape Vol. II off of their website and it’s one of my favorite albums in recent memory. I might be a little bias because Street Fighter II for SNES is hands down my favorite video game of all time and they reference that franchise A LOT throughout that album.
