I have a question, does any one know in the vidoe Smooth Criminal how michael jackson and his dancers lean that easily.

Jackson stays up straight, engineers tilt the ground at 45 degrees by a complex system of levers and pulleys.

"This Ain't No Picnic," by the Minutemen. D. Boon and company get bombed by Reagan--I've seen entire rooms of people, ranging in ages from 8 to 64, ROTFL over this one.

Thread revive again...

Kate, I have decent copies of *every* Spacemen-related video there is, including the one for "Hypnotized" and "Walking With Jesus". The WWJ one is so amateurly funny - nearest I can tell they had a video camera, a big bag of pot, and just rolled tape.

Fave video of the moment is for Ride's "Vapour Trail", very trippy.

Fever Ray - If I had a Heart

I'd love this to be the introductory plot to a movie set to each song of the album, something like intersellar 555. But even better!

Martin de Thurah, who did "If I had a Heart", also directed the 2nd Fever Ray video "When I Grow Up", which may be even better. He also did that stunning video for Röyksopp's “What else is there” a few years back. A name to watch.

We have the technology. Martin de Thurah vids:

Even his more conventional work is a cut above:

derelict, Friday, 20 February 2009 04:52 (fifteen years ago) link

wow, I wasnt aware she had released a second single already that video is stunning indeed. I don't know what's the source of the magic behind Martin's lens but he manages to create a very strong and powerful imagery out of the most simple situations. I literally couldn't look away in any of those videos even when I knew there was nothing really happening at first glance.

There seems to be some sort of connection between both fever ray's videos, the cult symbolism repeats on both (the handpaint on the girl in the 2nd video and the shot of the house on the first one with the pool full of corpses), so perhaps both Karin and Martin will answer my prayer and flesh out a full story and direct a video for each song on the album. I better not mindwank on this one because I'll end up very sad if i get overexcited and nothing ever happens.

I'm up for a poll of all time best videos but I don't have the time to pull it myself, anyone interested?
