I honestly need more music videos in my life... for real, I never, ever, ever, see hot music videos anymore! Does anyone remember TRL... I mean, the vintage Carson Daly edition? Does anyone remember Guns and Roses' 'November Rain' or Ma$e's 'Feel So Good' or Pearl Jam's 'Jeremy'??? Those videos were hottt! Groundbreaking music videos! I need more of that!
I have been on a quest ALL weekend long to find some hot music videos... and it turns out (drumroll...) they are still out there! It is true... they just aren't on TV. Hahaha.
Check these videos out...
The first one, is Super Junior 'Sorry Sorry'... I really don't know what to say... the video is dance madness... and it is one take... a single shot! These guys are straight badass...
Next, is a video by Bat for Lashes 'What's A Girl To Do?'... This video is pretty terrifying. hahaha. I want/need to know how this video is shot! The animals come out of NOWHERE!! Watch the video and you will know what I mean...
Both of these videos blew my mind... and are super low budget/super creative.
If you have any music videos that you CAN NOT stop watching... let me know what's good!

seeing as though you have ridiculously incredible taste in music, you should probably check out the video for "every girl" by young money. REDONK.
ReplyDeleteThey're not really new per say, but OK Go had some pretty epic low budget videos.

Definitely 2 of my favorite music videos of all time :)
Super Junior is amazing. SORRY SORRY. I'm learning that dance with Rosie. Hahaha. We already have some of it down. Also last night we were doing the dance in a Korean restaurant no joke... Hahaha. Legit check out 2PM. They are so sick. Btws... Nan says "she loved Super Junior the minute they came out. They rock!" Lol.
ReplyDeleteDOIN' THE MOST
-Jade<3
1) I just woke up, so sorry (Sorry Sorry Sorry 내가 내가 내가 먼저 네게 네게 네게 빠져 빠져 빠져 버려 baby~ ahaha) if my comment makes no sense.
ReplyDelete2) My mind is blown that you posted that Sorry Sorry video...
Not only have I been extremely obsessed with k-pop lately, but I've been listening to that song on repeat for the last few days, no joke.
3) SuJu made and R&B version of the song called Sorry Sorry - Answer, and Jade (Skylar) and I were JUST saying how you guys (HS) WISH you made it.... ties and bowties, bookcases, candles, fancy cars, old record players, champagne... Gentleman Club's heaven, haha

Your taste is in music and music videos amazes me. It's interesting to see how well rounded you in the diff types of sounds and genres that are out there.
ReplyDeleteI can def see where your tweet about hip hop dance classes were sparked from. I just wonder how well you'd be able to do the dancing that's done in the video. As for the last video, it was so artsy and creative. I love the mix of the creepy pop-up of the animals and the balloon scene with the girl just riding her bike down a dark road.
Well done, Alexander!
CARSON DALY!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMY BOYFRIEND!
i remember thinking he was so punk rawwwkkkk with his two black fingernails \m/
those are some pretty sweet videos but you MUST check this music video out!
ReplyDeleteI heard this song last year when I was on vacation in Italy and it was crazyy big there haha check it out:

You should totally check out the music video Sorry's Not Good Enough by McFly. Shows that good video's still exisit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t0IEuDmZNI
ReplyDeleteAlex, that effect with the animals is super easy to figure out. They filmed it twice.. once w/ just the chick and again with the animals. They overlapped the two of them.. you can tell because when the animals show up, they fade into focus. Easy editing trick, believe me ;)
ReplyDeleteAs for how the rest was shot. Super easy. She just rode down a road behind a truck/trailor/whatever that had a big light and a camera on it.
I took TV Broadcasting classes in High School. I made a pretty sweet music video to 'Thriller'. Zombie dancing and all. Too bad I can't find it and put it on YouTube..
Laura Marling is an english folky-pop singer. She has some really quirky videos (see 'Ghosts' on her youtube) but my favourite is 'New Romantic' ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNxar07_9YA )The shadows are so simple but capture the mood and tone of the song perfectly.
ReplyDeleteMerry almost-Christmas,
Kim x x
I really liked the Bat for Lashes video. It's very haunting with an equally as impressive vintage feel. It almost reminds me of the movie "The Strangers" with Liv Tyler.
ReplyDeleteI think the line: "It's all blackened out
And my bat lightning heart
Wants to fly away" really ties the song in with the video.
-Emily Paige
carson daily. hahaha epic
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_XItMAYkwc santogold has some pretty sick videos
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKj92352UAE probably low budget old but classic and festive.
i miss carson daly on trl. mtv used to be sooo legit.
ReplyDeletehmm..
there aren't many decent music videos out there anymore..
haha i've always liked the take on me video by aha..i'm sure you've sseen it, but still.. :)

A really good music video is Over You by this band called Honor Society. They're a great band have you heard of them?
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite videos of the past 3 years is probably SHITDISCO's "OK".
ReplyDeleteIt's entirely a pop-up book. Super BADASS if you ask me...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OXM5LGfpmrE
Wow, those videos are cool.
ReplyDeleteThe japanese one is awesome! I actually need to make up a dance for a male pageant at my school for the boys to dance to, and that actually gave me some ideas! thanks!
With Bat For Lashes's video, i think somehow all the bike riders were attached. like with chains, perhaps? That is pretty badass ;)
OMG SUPER JUNIOR IS AMAZING!!
ReplyDeleteYou should really watch/listen to Super Junior - M, the sub group, the song Super Girl. It's wicked awesome! And you are amazing to be listening to Super Junior! I love them =]
all time favorite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZgHWDHP-eM&feature=related
ReplyDeleteOk Alexander, you're half Asian? ;) I kinda love you even more now! Super Junior is amazing! I love that song :)
ReplyDeleteOh man, TRL circa 98 was the best. You know what was better than TRL was MTV Live with Matt Pinfield (that's guys musical knowledge is sick). And to even throw it in there, I miss VH1's PopUp Video. Where can we find these old gems?!?!
ReplyDeleteBoth of these videos are amazing! Video may have killed the Radio Star, but where did the Video go???

ReplyDeleteAlmost Lover-A Fine Frenzy
The song itself is beautiful, but I'm equally addicted to the music video. I love the lighting. I love the location. I love how it tells a story without any dialogue. I love how it's shot. It's more like a home movie.
Love it.
"sorry sorry"
ReplyDeletegosh its so danceableee :D
i LOVE michael bubles music,
and his music video for "haven't
met you yet" is awesome.it's total
madness in a grocery store.its amazings xD

The second one was crazyyy.
ReplyDeleteAnd while were on the subject of badass music videos, you should check out DANCE by justice.
That music video is straight up amazing.
I'm not really into music videos there arent really many that i can watch more than once, now this one i watched more than 50 times i think lol
ReplyDeleteIts not an official song, but i lov eit a remix of Beautiful Nightmare by Travis Garland. LOVE IT!

The fact that you mentioned TRL, Carson Daly, Pearl Jam Jeremy, Guns & Roses.. the fact that good music videos are getting harder to come by these days makes me love you even more than I already do! Also, thanks for inspiring me to begin blogging regularly.. again!
ReplyDeleteLove you.. no. duh.
Coldplay Strawberry Swing is the best video EVER!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7TI-AJi2O8&feature=player_embedded
ReplyDeletethis is probably one of the most amazing videos ive seen...its not exactly music video but its a lip dub video shot in a single take backwards which means the ppl in the video had to sing backwards to make it look legit!! U shud def check it out!
"Mr. Right" - A Rocket To The Moon
ReplyDeleteextremely catchy song with a video with a cool video for a first single off a debut album. sounds like a scenario i've heard somewhere before. :)
but seriously, it's a great video. their singer, Nick Santino, really knows how to make love to the camera. hahaha
haha oh my gosh those were so cool!
ReplyDeletei wish i knew of some really awesome music videos to share..

Haha my BEST friend doesn't really like Honor Society. But she's OBSESSED with Pearl Jam & "Jeremy". Wait until I tell her about this. She's gonna be all over you. :)
ReplyDeleteThe 'I can Transform Ya' video. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteAlso check out OneRepublic's video for 'All The Right Moves'
Sick song, sick video.
And seriously, watch MTVHits. It's what I do.
