I thought I would pick a few gems from the golden age of MTV but ended up picking more recent videos. Honestly, not a huge connoisseur of the medium but here goes.
Where Are We Now? – David Bowie
Stunningly gorgeous song…stunning video as well.
All My Friends Are Funeral Singers – Califone
If you have not seen the movie…highly recommended. Almost went with Movie Music Kills a Kiss here.
Mississippi Moonchile – Matana Roberts
Documented during the recording of Coin Coin Chapter One. A true, unique performance – film.
Accordion – Nina Cherry Thing
Fairly straight forward performance piece…yet fairly powerful at that.
Out Of The Game – Rufus Wainwright
Believe it or not I saw this first on an actual TV after an episode of Live at Daryl’s House. The video froze the channel and my jaw dropped. Still one of the catchiest things I’ve ever heard.
