Oh goody, weird videos.
-Edvard (February 19, 2009, 11:45 AM)

LOL Edvard - on both counts!

I really enjoyed the Mogwai one Deo, great track. Here's another one from them We're no Here with a very professional video of some french people on a cycling tour in the Himalayas - which actually go quite well together

I am back with another one that's off the beaten path...

Close your eyes when you click the link and don't open them till the song is halfway over. Trust me on this. You'll love it even more if you do.

and don't read these spoilers till after you come back:

Amazing fact #1

Sungha Jung is only 12

Amazing fact #2

It usually takes The Eagles at least 2 guitarists to play an arrangement like that, live in concert. Compare

More from same artist

More Than Words (The ending is great)
Fight (he was much younger when he did this one, about 9 years old)
He has over 100 videos uploaded

How will I know when the song is halfway over if my eyes are closed?

I just found out about Mogwai the other night and that strange video for The Sun Smells Too Loud is the first one I came across (after hearing a small part of a different song which is what got me searching for them).

I've found I really like Mogwai's music. Or at least what I've heard of it so far.

wow, he's good.
I really liked his Not Dark Yet which seems to have been written by someone else on youtube [here]
Does some nice original stuff too

I especially enjoyed this one - Trace Bundy & Sungha Jung - somehow I found the interaction very moving as well
Canon in D

Here's one that's a bit different...you can watch for the music or the dance.
The music is by a Catelan (I think) singer named Maria Del Mar Bonet, the dance is Jardi Tanquat (or Tancat, depending where you're from), by Nacho Duarto from Spain.
It won a major European prize. This video is the 2nd half of the piece. It is beautiful.
Watch it here

Btw, there's a dvd by the Nederlands Dans Company with this piece on it. If anyone should have it, I would pay a fair bit to get a copy!

Alas, I am not much of a video person, but if you want to hear some just plain fun music I always liked Ryan Shupe. Here is a video on YouTube, but since the firewall blocked the actual content, I didn't get to see it first.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUimsJJa-fo

Banjo Boy is his best known song, but I personally like Simplify best.

As for videos, Phil Collins Land of Confusion video was one of the most memorable to me. I remember it mostly because it REALLY freaked me out the first time I saw it. The song's not too bad either.

Yes. Except my link is to the official website for all 7 of them. (The site isn't a real YouTube page, it just looks like a messed up YouTube page.)

when you can get past that firewall have a look as best ever spitting image part 1 of 7 (slightly NSFW I guess) - they did that Genesis video too.
Not music but well worth a look (even if you dont know any of the politicians, well, Reagan and Thatcher are in there, and the Queen of course!)

I have to thank nudone for originally introducing me to this band with this video.

Kwoon - I lived on the Moon

And if you want to see it in much better quality, and read about the story behind the video, go to the artist's website and download it.

mouser · « **Reply #116 on:** June 15, 2009, 02:18 AM »

wow.. that was a seriously cool video.

f0dder · « **Reply #117 on:** June 15, 2009, 10:12 AM »

Not sure what I think of the music, but the video is absolutely lovely

edit: if you liked the Kwoon video, you might also like this one:

a bit of a laugh (NSFW I guess - but otherwise safe, I guess..)

Bonzo Dog Band - Give Booze A Chance (BBC Radio Session 1969)

40hz · « **Reply #119 on:** November 06, 2009, 01:31 PM »

Ahh...the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band!

They wrote such great songs: The Rhinocratic Oaths, My Pink Half of the Drainpipe, Mr. Slater's Parrot, Intro-Outro...

And then there was that nigh legendary recording of the "most utterly execrable guitar solo in rock history."
(FYI: listen to In the Wardrobes of Your Mind if you're curious).

They sure don't write songs like those any more!

Now s'cuze me. I'm gonna go grab me a doughnut and nip off to Granny's wardrobe for a quick break!

Yep, postrock is an acquired kind of music ...

this is not the kind of music i listen to but i dare you to watch the video only once.. it is sort of mesmerizing in some strange dance clip way:
