Cydonia wins for me.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Turn Into" dir. Patrick Daughters videos.antville.org
That Soft Pink Truth vid is a couple years old. I've still been waiting for a watchable copy of that R Spektor / Associates in Science vid.
1997's Chai Boy kept me going
Wow... was there any bad videos at all this month?
haha ha who says videos are dead?
too much choice for all you video scrooges? top faves only? Beautiful South, CSS, Spinto Band, Muse, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Silence, Four Volts, Voltage, Switchfoot. pretty much in that order.
Yep, Chris Cunningham's punk-blast visual for The Horrors - Sheena is a Parasite
hey,my vid is super car-white surf style no.5 videos.antville.org
erm, tang: that - despite being a killer vid - is years old and was posted in april, not july...
whatevs.
CSS rocks most.
Bonnie "Prince" Billy is my fave. On the more upbeat side, I hadn't seen that Beautiful South vid until now. Thanks Progosk. The CSS video puts me in a great mood as well.
The Spinto Band, Art Brut, and CSS had great videos, and just remembering any of them them makes me smile :).
However, as much as I liked them, I think that Knights of Cydonia is on a league of its own. One of the best videos of the year, so far.
