New Crush
Start with one part Feist, add a dash of Junior Boys, and a touch of Ingmar Bergman - stir until delicious. To kick it up for special occasions, plate it with a side of classic New York hip-hop.

Have you left no sense of decency?
Grrrr....
Between when I embedded the code and when I previewed the post, YouTube yanked the video. It was that crazy Indian Thriller remake.
Just wanted to say a little something in response.
Fuck. YouTube. Their quality is shit, it's extremely difficult to filter through the garbage that's up there without directly searching for one thing, and for the past few weeks now, about 92% of videos are removed posthaste. I smell a rat. A rat that is in fact a code. A code that kills videos once they are embedded in more than 15 locations. It is teh suck.
Fuck. YouTube.

Free At Last!
It looks like there truly is justice in this world.
I, for one, eagerly await Trapped In The Closet chapters 23-700. I also eagerly await taking advantage of the precedent that this has set for the justice world. He truly is a hero to all of us.

Thao video
This seems really stupid at the beginning, but the song is tight and wait until the animated lightening starts shoot out of everything.

Big Ideas: Don't Get Any
Following up from what Victor9000 posted earlier, this is an entry (the winning entry?) from a contest to remix the song "Nude" by Radiohead. It's made entirely from antiquated electronic equipment.
This sort of reminds me of that time that I made love to 24 virgins at the same time. No seriously, all 24 at the same time. It was a magical experience. It's not that this video plays some role in that memory it's just that most everything reminds me of that.
Big Ideas (don't get any).
"This was quite a difficult task for everybody that entered, as Nude is in 6/8 timing, and 63bpm. Most music that's played in clubs is around 120bpm and usually 4/4 timing. It's pretty difficult to seamlessly mix a waltz beat into a DJ set.
"This resulted in lots of generic entries consisting of a typical 4/4 beat, but with arbitrary clips from "Nude" thrown in so that they qualified for the contest."
Radiohead - All I Need Video
This is a few weeks late, but I wanted to post it because it's the first time in a few years that I've enjoyed a politically-motivated rock video. Most political statements by musicians are a bit too close to P. Did's suggestion that you "VOTE OR DIE!!!!" for me to take them seriously, and while this video isn't recreating the wheel, it's quietly powerful and leaves room to reflect on the imagery.

The BPA (Brighton Port Authority)
Don't know a ton about this group, but apparently it's some new venture from Fatboy Slim and Simon Thornton. This is their second single called "Toe Jam" which is a pretty fun little track and features David Byrne. Their music video is even more fun (NSFW while being completely SFW at the same time)
