We Called Them Music Videos

I need to post some more.  Those are all great but there's so many more from this year that are fantastic.  On the other post, they were all songs I liked as well.  On this one, that's not entirely true.  But all of the videos are fantastic.

And I haven't even scratched the surface.  I'll post some more this month.

MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA

I don't know this band but I ran across this video and I adore it.  The amazing thing about this video is how it snowballs.  The images and ideas just keep repeating and building.  This is competing for video of the year.

SEVENTEEN EVERGREEN

Looking for music videos is also a great way to find new music.  In my video searching, I found these guys and I'm having a hard time deciding whether I like the song as much as I like the video.  That would be hard, considering the video is mindblowingly good.

MEMORY TAPES

The great thing about music videos is that they are essentially short films.  Which we've stopped watching.  Ask anybody the last short film they watched.  They'd be hard pressed to come up with one.  We get fed music by corporate run radio stations who are in bed with the big record labels who are in bed with the ticket and concert people.  Let's hearken back to short films set to beautiful music.

Also:  this was shot in my neighborhood and some of the shots are one avenue over from me.  It's like you're walking in my neighborhood.



GARDENS & VILLA

This is another band I got into this year.  I really like how simple and goofy this video is while at the same time having this atmospheric quality.

M83

This album is badical.  I sort of dug their last one but this one has me at hell yes.  This video is great.  I feel like every kid wants to be these kids.  Left to their own devices. Removed from their parents.  And having awesomely fantastic powers.
