Recommend some music videos to me!
Edvard:
OK, one more and I'm done for the night...
If you don't know Empire of the Sun for their WTF videos, start here:
MilesAhead:
Hehe, this thread has come close to de-volving into "Recommend new music to me, and if there's a video, all the better, but we all know it's about the tunes..."

I guess I still resent the MTV gimmick from years ago. Force the viewer's eyes to refocus every 2 1/2 seconds and they won't change the channel. :) Unless there's hot chicks in a video that doesn't employ that technique I usually am not much interested. Exceptions would be clean video of Jimi Hendrix that shows his guitar work in closeup. SRV or Miles Davis etc.. But yet another drummer "playing" a snare drum full of milk I can live without. :)

Nice sounding song (I don't speak French) - with an interesting video (universal) - have a listen and watch.

Oh, you mean when MTv actually played videos?... yeah, good times.
Actually, I fully agree with you; the abuse of jump cuts and shaky cam effects trumping good old fashioned filmmaking got way out of hand there for a while, though you gotta admit some of the older videos can get a bit on the boring side (Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid' anyone?).
The flip side is I've always felt that videos were supposed to be for showcasing some visual creativity alongside the music, or giving you a taste of what a live show might be like if you'd get off the couch and go.
And to be fair, I was never a good enough guitarist to pick up what anybody was doing in a video anyway; I figured that's what lessons were for. :P

Wow, the implications of that video are pretty deep-seated. Basically, if you have kids, be a dad, not a space filler who happens to bring money home. At least, that's what I got out of it...
