Who still watches music videos? Is there even a channel that shows them anymore?

Instead of biatching about the obvious, Rolling Stone does indead suck, lets post some good videos from this year. Here i will start.

Gogol Bordello - Wonderlust King (new window)

 
Gunny Highway 2007-12-28 11:04:22 AM  
God i suck at spelking today (and always) that is suppposed to be 'indeed'.

Here is another one i liked

Serj Tankian - Empty Walls (new window)

/that is a bad attempt at a joke

Yes, the band you hate with a white-hot passion is on there

Linkin Park? Or is it Nickelback?

//Rolling Stone sux so bad, they once offered me a LIFETIME subscription for less than $20, and I still let it expire.

Artsy music videos don't do it for me anymore.

I like concert/performance videos now.

Neither are on the list. I checked, sadly.

25 items on the list? Check. 1 page for each item? Check. Window closed immediately? Check.

Courtney Cox-Zucker: 25 items on the list? Check. 1 page for each item? Check. Window closed immediately? Check.

That's a personal pet peeve of mine, too, but since they have the actual video on each page, I can forgive it, even if I still don't want to actually click through them. Trust me, you don't want 25 YouTube flash videos on one page. It's bad. I've seen it. If you play one video and then stop it, it still buffers while you click the next one. Your CPU usage and bandwidth both spike and things pretty much die. Even my home computer which is like a tiny God doesn't like that. Here at work? My 1.8 Ghz Pentium 4 just can't take that kind of abuse, you know.

I hope you mean the Serj Tankian video was a joke. That poor fool couldn't carry a tune in a goddamned breifcase if it was superglued and duct taped to his hands.

Yea his career probably wont take off after this. There is nobody out there who likes him. Quit being a snob there is more to music than carrying a tune. Can i see a video that you enjoyed this year?

True. But they could've made a list (with pics and/or descriptions) with links to the videos.

OMG! What is with the Feist woman? Everyone seems to think that she is the next great thing. Am I missing something?

mightybaldking 2007-12-28 12:02:58 PM  
I don't really care for the song, but that Feist video is awesome cinematography. It must have taken weeks of preparation and rehearsal just to get ready for 5 minutes of filming.

Someone need to repost the video of the chick in the lime green marching band uniform. With the really short skirt. Don't remember her name or the song either, but that wasn't what I was paying attention to.

Yes, the band you hate with a white-hot passion is on there

You mean that band that's somehow getting played on the local "alternative" station even though the song sounds exactly like a New Kids On The Block reunion with a rock-n-roll makeover?

/no idea what they or the song are called

my 1 year old daughter LOVES Bat For Lashes "What's a Girl to do". i thought the lifesize animal costumes would freak her out, but she adores it. goes near the computer all day long and says "hop, hop!" wanting to watch the video. crazy kids.

Yeah, Stage6 is cool and all if you prefer waiting 3-5mins before each video.

 
Simia Saturnalia 2007-12-29 09:26:19 AM  
Because someone will ask (with commentary!):
1 - Nine Inch Nails, "Survivalism" (wait, NIN's still relevant? 1996 wants its angst back)
2 - Feist, "1234" (well now I -really- don't want an iPod)
3 - Justice, "D.A.N.C.E." (never heard of 'em; sounds retarded, though)
4 - Snoop Dogg, "Sensual Seduction" (oh, Snoop. Rap for the guy at the office who likes to pretend he's still in high school)
5 - Queens of the Stone Age, "Sick Sick Sick" (You know what's a great schtick for a band? Sound like you can't sing)
6 - Modest Mouse, "Dashboard" (isn't this that other band with the jarring guitars and wailing vocalist? Everything since 2004?)
7 - The White Stripes, "Icky Thump" (DIAF)
8 - Foo Fighters, "The Long Road to Ruin" (Okay, wtf? Foo Fighters, NIN, Snoop Dogg - did I fall into a time machine?)
9 - Bat for Lashes, "What's a Girl to Do" (I feel like Bauhaus just got mugged for their song notes by a girl in a kitten sweater and her fursuit buddies)
10 - The Shins, "Phantom Limb" (I'm gonna go on record, sight unseen and sound unheard, and state no band called "The Shins" is any good)
11 - Kanye West, "Can't Tell Me Nothin'" (...oi)
12 - Mika, "Lollipop" (Epic. Fail)
13 - The White Stripes, "Conquest" (Perhaps you didn't hear me the first time)
14 - LCD Soundsystem, "All My Friends" (The 80's called, they want their everything back)
15 - The Go! Team, "Grip Like Vice" (Tee hee. Not only does it sound like the theme to a blaxploitation film, the first verse is a first-person MC intro? Comedy gold)
16 - Tool, "Vicarious" (Apparently this video is worth 25% of the semester's grade, and the professor loves surrealist work)
17 - Bjork, "Declare Independence" (Ah, good, I was running a little shy of painful wailing today)
18 - Radiohead, "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" (I have no witty retort because I hate them more than every other shiatty band on this list put together with ebola, stale Timbits, and wood glue enemas)
19 - Spoon, "The Underdog" (Get forked)
20 - Battles, "Atlas" (Are they hoping for a marquee typo to skyrocket them to fame?)
21 - Jill Scott, "Hate on Me" (You're making it too easy)
22 - Kanye West, "Stronger" (Way to suck as bad as the White Stripes, the only other two-fer on the list of videos that people who suck at liking music like)
23 - Arcade Fire, "Neon Bible" (WAY too easy)
24 - Justin Timberlake, "What Goes Around ... / ... Comes Around" (I shouldn't have to spell it out, but we can only hope he's right)
25 - Mute Math, "Typical" (If your band name is this 'clever', I presume you're something of an asshole)

If you'll all excuse me, that made my auditory center sad.

/better stay away from Copperhead Road...

If only someone would come up with a TV channel that
shows videos 24 hours a day.

It might just work.

My recent Favorite - DragonForce - Through the Fire and Flames

Sure, it's just a performance vid, but the section from 3:20 to about 4:25 makes my fingertips hurt.

You were too cool for school, I bet. A lot of your opinions are trash, broad, ill-informed, and sometimes accurate. But thanks again for the list. Nice work.

 
Raspil 2007-12-29 09:41:33 PM  
Simia, it's okay to actually like something, you know. Too much misguided hate isn't good for your heart. What is the point in liking music that is so obscure that no one else knows it (which I know is what you're into judging from your comments), only to get off in telling someone else they're stupid for not knowing what you like? You poor, lonely, elitist troll-bastard.

(Okay, wtf? Foo Fighters, NIN, Snoop Dogg - did I fall into a time machine?)

are you saying it's wrong for a band to exist past a couple of years? they should only put one album out? christ, who the F do you think you are, babe? i can't stand people like you.
