Get behind me, Satan.
Music video time lul. They're a bit strange, them
music videos, cos they can either follow the theme of the song, of be
completely different and give the song a whole new meaning, or sometimes taint
it. So I have compiled a list of my favourite music videos, NME style. Except
not really in any order, because I am not very good at decisions, so I'll just
tell you when one is my particular favourite. Or something. Rah. Oh and just to
warn you, this list may be rather RHCP based, cos lets face it, their videos
are awesome. But yeah and stuff and things.
Nirvana - Heart Shaped Box
Foetuses and crucifixion - who doesn't love
them? God knows what was going on in Nirvana's head when this video was being
thought up, but its still great and memorable.(I was going to do a star
rating, but then realised it would probably be pretty pointless seeing as
they will all be 5 stars cos this is a list of my favourite videos, but STOP
SPOILING MY FUN.)
Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way
The Chilis are a part of that tiny group of bands
that can do a really funny video and still look so freaking cool. If you watch
nothing else of Anthony's kidnapping adventure, skip to the flare dance. You
will not be disappointed.
The Strokes - You Only Live Once
Am I the only one who cringes at their lovely white
clothes being covered in that oil? No? Just me then. Not entirely sure whats
going on in this one but I love it all the same. Feel sorry for the drummer,
though.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
I WANT THIS GAME. Its so cool and original, I love
how it reflects each different bandplayer's personalities. And yes, I do also
want a giant dragon fly. Who doesn't?
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
Clips taken from the film Scenes From The
Suburbs and compiled into a music video, this video captures the mood
of the song perfectly and I love it and that's all there is to it.
The White Stripes - Blue Orchid
Jack White is a genius. I love the feel to this
video and everything about it, from its Alice in Wonderland atmosphere to the
jerky black and whiteness. Funnily enough, whenever I talk to anyone about this
video, they all go "oohh but I bet those heels killed"...
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - The Death of
You and Me & AKA... What a Life!
And then this one... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d6m03FUYaTM&feature=player_embedded (the
thing didn't want to find the video sozlol).
The adventures of an american waitress being force
fed a potion and kidnapped and various other unfortunate events is spread over
two music videos, so that why I've done two. And its not that bad for her cos
she ends up with Noel in the end, and he looks so freaking cool in those
sunglasses. Oh and Russell Brand is a LEGEND.
That's it for now, but I might do another one of
these later.
An extra song for you to enjoy and be happy about
Red Hot Chili Peppers - True Men Don't Kill Coyotes
From their first album, but still fucking
brilliant. This is gunna be stuck in my head for a looonnnngg time.
Hey, I managed to
only put three RHCP songs on here. I’m pretty impressed with myself.
Blue Orchid is freaking awesome. I love that video. It's like MCR BUT NOT SHIT.
