LCD Soundsystem "Losing My Edge" (version 2)
Not too sure of the director - the first one was directed by Fischerspooner. This one's new.

Dirty Three & Chan Marshall "Great Waves"
It took me a few weeks of viewing to like this, but I do now. It's just plain performance, so it may bore you at first.

Cat Power "Cross Bones Style" (1998)
Likely another matter of taste, this is one of my favorite videos of the 1990's. Brett Vapnek would get lots more $ to do videos if I were in charge.

Saw this video on mtv2 the other day, thought it was pretty cool, well made me want to watch the video all the way through even tho i wasn't too fussed on the song...but different to every live performance vid on the channel.Thought it was worth a post, i liked it. Said video by Phaelon Productions according to the band site.
The Tigers, Live super 8 teaser..
This is a short teaser from our upcoming music doco 'the super8 diaries'
It's rough and ready, we shoot these shows drunk and on whatever cameras we can borrow in whatever city we are in.
The doco will consist of 10-12 bands, interviews and one live song from each. Been in production for nearly 2 years now. Self funded.

Los Shakers de Uruguay "Break it All"
Found a great archive of 60s videos over at Ron's Video Links. Lots of great stuff here from the big names of sixties pop like the Kinks, and George Harrison, but also more obscure beat and "theme groups" like the spacemen of "Los Spotnicks". The song and video I liked the best was "Break it All" by Los Shakers.

It's a shameless Beatles/Monkees ripoff, but a catchy, fun one. They also starred in a movie called "Escala Musical"

Popol Vuh video and mp3 - Bettina - live on Beat Club, April 24, 1971
The Popol Vuh ("council book") is the Mayan book of "The Dawn of Life", a sacred text which contains the creation myths and histories of the Quiche people. The original is now lost due to the book (and people) burning tendencies of the conquistadors, but luckily some Mayan priests and clerks secretly made copies of some of the older hieroglyphic books, but using the Roman alphabet. It is a fascinating book that shows us flashes of the pre-columbian Mayan culture, as if reflected through the broken shards of a mirror.
Popol Vuh is also the name of a 70s German band led by Florian Fricke which provided soundtracks to many Werner Herzog films, including Aguirre, the Wrath of God (an appropriate choice considering their name) and Nosferatu. Popol Vuh blended the new moog synthesizer with tribal rhythms and drones. Here is a video of Popol Vuh performing the instrumental "Bettina" (apparently named after Bettina Fricke, their Tabla player) on German tv's Beat Club in 1971. Trippy lo-fi video fx, modular synths, fur vests and tablas. Thanks to NoDude at dimeadozen.org for the upload. Enjoy!

The Screamers "122 Hours of Fear" 1978
The Screamers were an intense punk band operating out LA and SF in the 70s. Fronted by performance artist David Xavier Harrigan, aka Tomata du Plenty, they had their own thing going on: ARP synths, horror movie keyboards, a confrontational front man, and plenty of attitude. Reference points are Suicide, Iggy, Joy Division, and the growl/bark of later hardcore bands. This is a video of Screamers performing their song "122 Hours of Fear" (mislabeled here as "22 hours of fear"- thus losing a full 100 hours of fear). I believe it is from 8-29/9-3-78, Target Studios, Oakland, CA The video quality isn't bad considering its age, and the erratic blurring and color shifts add to the total feel. Tomata's look here is even reminiscent of Rimbaud.
Screamers get name checked, but are hard to actually hear due to their short career. Singer du Plenty later on became an artist, and died of AIDS in 2000.

Magazine were a great post punk band fronted by Howard Devoto of the immortal Buzzcocks. They lasted a scant 4 years (77-81) but left some nice recordings. Here is a not great video quality, but certainly watchable clip of them performing the song "Definitive Gaze", which is one of my favorites. Thanks to gibby299 at the fantastic Dimeadozen.org

The Soft Machine "We Know How You Feel" 1967 on hoepla tv show
bove: Soft Machine at Hoepla: Marc Boyle, Mike, Kevin, unknown, Robert (aka Graham Chapman)
Today's obscure video comes from the Soft Machine. They are another one of those bands that you will hear about, but not actually hear much of. Others in this category include DNA, The Swell Maps, and the Residents. This is the first Soft Machine song I've heard, and I like it. Sounds a lot like Pink Floyd. The song is "We Know What You Mean" and they're performing it live in a tv studio in Holland in 1967. There are some cool oil lamp effects on this one, as well as interesting shots of hipsters dancing, including drummer Robert, who reminds me of Graham Chapman of Monty Python with a little Montgomery Burns thrown in. The audio is a bit hissy, so I didn't post an .mp3, but it shouldn't bother you while watching the video. Enjoy!

Now, I know this was posted before, but there was only a link to a torrent, and it wasn't posted with any sort of title... so here it is again, in a simple quicktime file to coincide with it's release as a single in the UK. Maybe you haven't seen it yet. It's good.
