Talk Talk - My Foolish Friend

Halfway there but for you, Tuesday, 22 February 2022 00:34 (two years ago) link

Just watched that Lana Del Rey video again - I noticed that the name of The Smithereens also appeared on the marquee with her name on it. That could be a nod to the quote from their song "Alone At Midnight" in the song's chorus.

Halfway there but for you, Tuesday, 22 February 2022 00:50 (two years ago) link

Viborg: sorry, out to a movie--thanks, that's fine. I'll send you board e-mail with a Google mail address--add me as an editor, and I'll try when I can to add songs.

I'll again ask that people post videos without the http:// part of the address. I embed all the time, but on a thread like this, the dozens and dozens of embeds eventually make the thread really hard to open.

Included some in there that need to be on the list because they're so iconic it's hard to think about the form without thinking about them, at least for me, esp. "Wuthering Heights" and "Take on Me"

Roots Manuva - Witness (1 Hope) - Maybe the only rap video that's actually funny and also features a British primary school sports day

www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tm_WPPmleMw

Alter Ego - Betty Ford - maybe the only techno video that's actually good

It seemed to work...the first post you put up, I don't get the embeds, just the addresses.

Kenneth Anger - Kustom Kar Kommandos (= The Paris Sisters - Dream Lover)

There are a bunch of great should-have-been-videos in Anger's work, especially Scorpio Rising and Rabbit Moon. No problem if you want to vote for them, but for me that's something qualitatively different. As you can probably guess from my posting around here, my ballot would be 95% film sequences if I included those.

clemenza, Tuesday, 22 February 2022 15:02 (two years ago) link

Oh god, oh shit, I almost missed this thread, not sure how. I'm guessing Soundies are good for this?
