Pinback "From Nothing to Nowhere" Directed by Joshua Nichols
Joshua Nichols’s clip for “From Nothing To Nowhere” is similarly stark: it features the members of Pinback in action, playing under a dark sky in what initially appears to be a barren field. But there’s more detail here than what immediately meets the eye – three wheel-treads slash across the cold earth in front of the musicians. Bright light pours over the drummer’s shoulder; later, electrical supernovas illuminate the desert landscape. The camera pulls back, and a spectacular aurora borealis hangs in the sky above Pinback, throwing an eerie light on Rob Crow’s face. Could they possibly be performing on the moon, or another world? Certainly there is something extraterrestrial and untethered about this scene – something that invites the viewer to experience an altered state. Flecks of dust catch the light and float through the air, shadows slash across the ground, and the band members stand and play; titans of this deserted world.

Britney Spears - Gimme More - hopefully Alan Smithee!
I would make fun. I would trash it. I would bemoan the state of music videos as an industry. But I am left utterly speechless. Is this an indication of how far we've fallen or only a sign that the mainstream no longer represents anything other than itself?
Postscript: The director should do the only honorable thing in this case and perform seppuku. It's really for all of us.

Au - "Bouté" - Directed by Honest
Boute is a beautiful mellow song sung by Au which is Luke Wyland and crew out of Oregon. The video is very stark and intimate portrait of Luke singing a personal song. The entire video focuses on Luke singing and playing in a very hypnotic macro fashion. There is a little bit of strangeness that makes you look twice that fits perfectly with a love song about butt - aka. Bouté
