Shiny Toy Guns - "Le Disko"
Version 1 - directed by Seaton Lin (2005):
Version 2 - directed by No Brain (2006):
Of the two I like the performance in V1 better, but I also like the fancier look and twist ending of V2.
v1 sounds better.
v1, sexier styling. I prefer v1 lighting.
v2 wins - but why ever do you need 2 videos for the almost same song? usually a band doesnt have all that money to produce all that stuff.
v1 intriguing but kinda plasticky & ultimately drags. v2 sexed up proper (à la francaise; the metrosexuality works). nothing to write home about either of'em, though.
I believe v1 video has been out a little under a year (album independently released in 2005). Mid 06 they got signed to Universal Records & re-released their album, I'm guessing the v2 video is the Label's attempt to gloss up the old vid (and track too). Lousy attempt, nothing was wrong with the original track (new version is far worse, with terrible "harmonies" in the chorus and other afterthought programming). I hardly see any of the actual group in v2, just a feeble storyline and epileptic editing. Original v1 much better.
