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

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")

Grimes - Oblivion
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtH68PJIQLE

Boldy James - Consignment
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELXf7zXn8uU&hd=1

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

i kinda dig that grimes track.
DJ Raff - Digital Rain (en el desierto)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fp57mjecnaY

I like everything in this thread so far.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AqbLGHqsTg&ob=av2e

i created a rolling 2012 good videos thread and posted this there but that thread doesn't seem to be happening:

lambchop - gone tomorrow
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMFi2OaXiI8

woah Tim F that video is great

great song too

sorry i missed that n/a

hey, shit happens

i love this lambchop video-- would watch a tv show based on it

Lee Noble - "Parents"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwMsP2-PT0Q

Mint Julep - "To the Sea"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P9t0eU_drQ

a light goes on for the tumblr whites:

Father John Misty - "Hollywood Cemetery Sings"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtOToiIDNRA

The Internet - "Fastlane"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q4niqiMUHH4

can i post something older you guys might enjoy?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYijJ4rrktw

holy cow that aubrey plaza as everyones crazy ex girlfriend

cant believe theres really a group calling themselves 'the internet' & they sound like trip hop exactly

unrelated to thread subject but hot toddy's rmx of d-pulse's 'velocity of love' is one of my fav jams

assuming you know they are odd wolf-affiliated

that grimes video is great

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.

speaking of deserts:

M.I.A. - Bad Girls
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2uYs0gJD-LE

song sucks but i really like this video

next fast & furious should be set in saudi arabia and feature only shitty 10 year old sedans

see, i'm of the opinion the song is awesome but the video sucks.

but then, i'm no fast and furious connoisseur so

full disclosure ive never seen a fast & furious movie

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

yyyyyeah, okay but not a good look for mia really

http://www.patheos.com/blogs/mmw/2012/02/bad-girls-do-it-well-mmw-responds-to-m-i-a-s-latest-video/
http://www.hyphenmagazine.com/blog/archive/2012/02/mia-and-real-bad-girls

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.

Premeired this today just cause the video was so dope

lol @ random ginger kid right at the end-- easter egg for fans/haters?

The Death Set - They Come to Get Us
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dleV9-9xXsw

Yuksek - Off the Wall
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_uUvPimCLI&ob=av2e

not super groundbreaking but i sill vibe these kinda vidz

Islands - Hallways
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Czi0F_Ovaws&ob=av2e

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.

i really like the grimes song + video, does the singer have a lisp?

The Shoes - Time To Dance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt9wnawn7xQ

Filastine - Colony Collapse
http://www.youtube.com/watch?&v=DXLED5HuI8o

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WcRXJ4piHg&hd=1

this video.

ust 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.

Don't let her "brown" skin fool you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=oo4Sqt2Bmag

don't let the white masks fool you

still need to hear a good remix of that

shout out to the troll 2 kid in the death set video.

(forks, it looks like that free zebra katz ep has a bunch of remixes. maybe they're not good though.)

i will engage at some point no doubt

oh hey, just came across a good one by an acquaintance of mine: http://soundcloud.com/madden-2/1mm-r3-d-zebra-katz-m-d-n3

yeah, this improves it

yay wow love that death set video. thx 2 gr80 & whiney whines.

JOAKIM "In The Cave" Official Video

Odd Future - Oldie
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzi24Nssiow

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

Dam man funny vid and their just doing their thing havin fun

Lamp do you have an opinion on this

Nite Jewel - One Second of Love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YMmX1f5sQI

Bear in Heaven - The Reflection of You
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGSbcRXDa44

sort of NSFWy:

Diplo - "Express Yourself" (ft. Nicky Da B)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eF1lU-CrQfc

that BIH one is a tough watch

i know no one responded to it for some reason but the chief keef is so dope to me as a video, its basically the grimes video minus the female narrator

my favourite thing aboud oldie is how stoked on everyone else's verses earl is

i hate the beat on that bear in heaven song more every time i hear it

its basically the grimes video minus the female narrator

idgi

i think he's referring to the one part of the grimes video with all the shirtless dudes moshing

i'm glad no one took diplo to a second line when he was in new orleans.

sorry, i feel like i'm being negative all over this morning.

xp

well just the general celebration of male revelry & camaraderie in general, celebrations of masculinity & such

there's a similar joyousness to them i think idk

trippy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ieisc1o2JWA

ha, i always meant to start a thread for me and gbx to post GoPro videos-- that would have been a great crossover

had no idea tim sweeny started a label, either

the other side of that secret circuit 12" is doooooooope

video not as interesting though but you should check it out to hear the track http://youtu.be/4SRZ-1hv1ms

first BIS release was a pretty chill French house record called Paradis

Rye Rye - Boom Boom
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7i3y1JvXtv0

The Alchemist + Oh No (Gangrene) - Vodka & Ayahuasca
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zA-QpkVpuAQ

Pretty fun lo-budget video.

diplo video is so terrible

what makes it terrible? i kinda like it.

gangrene video is great. weird action bronson cameo.

diplo's whole inept musical anthropology thing skeezes me out, especially in this context. in a nutshell, the post-katrina carpetbagging hipster types have seized on "sissy bounce" as a thing to get really into and be really excited about, which is cool, except that regular bounce music, which is way way way more popular, is generally ignored by the (almost entirely white) hipster bounce brigade. the way it seems to me is that these people (who are certainly the people that hipped diplo to the whole thing) can only engage with this culture when it is to a large extent (and this is a generalization but it would take forever to fully go into it) emasculated.

zzzzzzzzz

fair enough though!

no, but those are all really great arguments, except that the way the video itself comes of as tough and menacing kind of makes them irrelevant?

imo

well said, adam

i don't think it tries to come off as especially tough or menacing. also it has diplo in it.

well it's people dancing and then every once in a while diplo pops up to menace people's sense of ownership over their own cultural production?

zzzzzzz

like hey important part of disenfranchised culture's self-expression, you get to be another diplo novelty track! which i guess is the Problem with World Music so it's weird to see it go down in NO.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf5mIhQ_xgk

cant believe this hasnt been posted yet lol

Into this song and vid both

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nksTXmu1UAg

if ppl could post the artist name - song name thatd be swell

xp Mikhael Paskalev, "I Spy"

love that video, johnny

good stuff! i like the song too and i've never heard of that dude

He's from Norway and has an album coming later this year, but that's all I know. In one of his other youtubes, he's accompanied by Billie Van (who I just stumbled across a few weeks ago, so that's good too).

2012 is the year of the montreal music video u heard it here first

Sébastien Tellier - Cochon Ville (very NSFW): http://vimeo.com/40291506

new tellier?!?

new tellier!!!!

o man that vid :/

uh oh lamp, are we going to have an editorial disagreement on this one

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.:

http://vimeo.com/37411649

(cool cough - run slow)

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:

flight facilities - with you
http://vimeo.com/42065164

i find this incredibly charming for some reason, nostalgia i guess or maybe just contrariness... obv nowhere near as good as those sweet daft punk vidz but at least ppl are trying again

hope you guys don't mind this -- your moment of mersh

simple concept well-executed. but you have to watch dude's face while he sings which is kinda painful.

PSY - GANGNAM STYLE (강남스타일)

PLEASE dont let the thumbnail/still fool you!!!!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyB61XiggvM

not sure how I feel about this one, seems too "fashion-ad" even though it's mostly "real people" (i.e. the girl and some of the dancers were cast, the rest were just folks they filmed on the street)

http://vimeo.com/47316140
Peaking Lights - Dreambeat

seems too "fashion-ad"

that reaction might be coming from outside the text, so to speak, since the video was bankrolled by Urban Outfitters but the video still of black swimsuit and subway tiles looks like an American Apparel billboard

the girl is cute tho

nope we dont care about music videos anymore

2k13 is the year of the vine

haha otm

Lamp have you heard the Floating Points album?

no! i am assuming i should?

hi lamp what should i do in Toronto tonight?

what sort of stuff are you looking to do?

dancing?

its either completely dead or packed but theres a queer r&b nite at the steady on bloor near dufferin that is really good if its happening. idk the city is kindof a no fun zone lately there are lots of great bars but theres not much dancing. at least not at places that i would ever want to go. theres probably something rap-ish at the shop at parts & labour thats usually kinda fun.

no! i am assuming i should?

not positive it's your thing but it's one of my favorites of the year & i'd be curious what you thought of it
