Lamp & gr8080's 2012 music video digest (rolling)

Message Bookmarked

this was p much a failure last year and we're already 1/6 through 2012 but w/e let's do this.

anyone can post music videos here, not just me and Lamp, as long as they're ~official~ (or "official-looking" if they're fan made)

(pr0 tip: before bitching about youtube embeds crashing your browser, go to "preferences" and uncheck "show images")

this band made a choose-your-own-adventure video, so there's hypothetically dozens of different edits of the same video:

d-pulse is pretty awesome as far as the retro-stock-footage trend goes. i kind of want to do a whole music video using present-day clips from stock footage sites.

mint julep is fucking awesome!!! via my experience w/ 3d stuff i want to say they shot it all using three or four SLRs mounted next to eachother??? anytone else know? i like the song too

the internet/syd the kid thing is pretty bad but i like anything w/ sparse desert landscapes so i watched it.

but if they set one in saudi arabia w/ shitty cars i'd see it in a heartbeat

Last year, on a world tour, her contract and casting call specified that the onstage extras would wear full burkas. And for what purpose -- to bring attention to the stereotypical submission of women who wear the veil or to objectify them ironically? Just because M.I.A. is “brown” doesn’t mean she gets to objectify non-Western cultures. Against the reality of North Africa and the Middle East today, the thrill of high-speed desert racing only gets her so far.

Islands - Hallways

i meant to post this earlier - feels v now where cheap but visually inventive effects are leveraged really highly for a simple but memorable vid like establishing this easily parsed but vivid visual aesthetic. although the intro part is p lol esp because of the suit dude is wearing.

Odd Future - Oldie

i love this so much: its basically the total opposite of centaurs and old man comedy makeup and totally endears them to me all over again. lol i am old but i can't help but feel all "THAT's how you be goofy teenagers!!" i feel like the concept its so simple that it should be so played out but it feel like no one's done something like this before?

also i love how the whole thing is a hijacked terry richardson shoot

its just not my thing, i think? like im not above the american apparel afterparty aesthetic thats going down or w/e but im not sure it really manages to skirt being exploitative and gross. maybe im just becoming a prude or no fun at all i am eating chicken soup alone on a friday nite...

much more into the meditative slow burn atm i guess i.e.:

ha, i feel you.

i just kind of came out of a slump of not being social, not exercising, and not eating healthy, and i feel better today than i have in weeks so an ironic black magic disco orgy feels so right to me today

see, this can be diary as much as digest.

dear diary,

i woke up in high spirits today its sunny but clear and cold and i decided to wear my favorite sweater to work. i watched this new video by a band called part time its for a song called 'i want to take you out'. its a silly video but incidental set design really pleased me and i liked the song a lot. on the way to work someone complimented my outfit so i think its going to be a really good day.

p.s. heres the video i was talking about:
