I expect an easy win for "Dirty Boots", with possible competition from "Disconnection Notice". "Hoarfrost" and "Mote" were also not bad iirc. A lot of not-great videos here.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Sunday, 31 March 2013 22:32 (thirteen years ago)

Wow, is "My Friend Goo" ever a sack of shit. I've owned this DVD since 2004 but I don't know if I ever watched that whole video before. "Disappearer" is betterso far. Must have been partly shot in Canada: Sam the Record Man sighting.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Sunday, 31 March 2013 22:44 (thirteen years ago)

Ah, mostly Yonge St in Toronto. Some Las Vegas spliced in.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Sunday, 31 March 2013 22:47 (thirteen years ago)

I haven't seen a lot of these cuz I bought the DVD when it came out, but it was from the batch of the original pressing that had some fault on the title page and I never got around to swapping it. I wonder if it's worth anything now.

a similar stunt failed to work with a cow (Merdeyeux), Sunday, 31 March 2013 22:59 (thirteen years ago)

Thurston/Kim makeout in "Titanium Expose" seems really passionless but I don't know if that's just me looking back with present-day knowledge.

Major jump in production quality now that we're getting to the Dirty era.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Sunday, 31 March 2013 23:13 (thirteen years ago)

'dirty boots' is the actual best for sure but voted for goofball hanna and goofball sonic youth in 'bull in the heather' w/ some serious comp from impossibly cool chloe in 'sugar kane'.

I figured an easy win for "Bull In The Heather" as it's the only one I remember besides some skating bits of "100%"

EZ Snappin, Sunday, 31 March 2013 23:15 (thirteen years ago)

best 90s romcom ever

Just hitting me how much I prefer their late 90s sound to their early 90s sound.

"Bull in the Heather" was kind of fun. Kathleen Hanna's commentary is pretty obnoxious. Was she half KG's age then?

EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 1 April 2013 00:10 (thirteen years ago)

Not quite. 15 years younger.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 1 April 2013 00:12 (thirteen years ago)

Voted for "Disconnection Notice" in the end!

EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 1 April 2013 00:37 (thirteen years ago)

don't remember them all, but the 'tunic' video is that stupid one where they appear in a set carrying letters and stuff, right? if so, i'm voting for that one.

rusty_allen, Tuesday, 2 April 2013 00:34 (thirteen years ago)

'hoarfrost' video is also cool, iirc. but i always felt it never really captured the feeling of longing of the song. needless to say, 'dirty boots' will win this.

rusty_allen, Tuesday, 2 April 2013 00:38 (thirteen years ago)

voted for "Titanium Expose," not for my rock parents making out but for Steve Shelley walking past the fish market reading the periodic table of elements

that dirty boots video is cute.

Mr. Snrub, Tuesday, 2 April 2013 02:23 (thirteen years ago)

I honestly think the "Disconnection Notice" video is pretty original and effective:

The fans hate it!: http://sonicyouth.com/gossip/showthread.php?t=394

EveningStar (Sund4r), Tuesday, 2 April 2013 02:46 (thirteen years ago)

it's pretty funny, song is kinda buried but eh who cares and it matches up w/ the 'plot' well

balls, Tuesday, 2 April 2013 02:53 (thirteen years ago)

Either Disappearer or Little Trouble Girl

the dubious bros. (Drugs A. Money), Tuesday, 2 April 2013 07:18 (thirteen years ago)

voted "Bull in the Heather" because of Kate Hanna fun.

almost went with "Kool Thing" with the band's fab glam look and Chuck D.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

The best video is missing from the list!

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Wow, I didn't know "Bull in the Heather" was so loved.

EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 15 April 2013 19:56 (thirteen years ago)

Might be Kathleen Hanna doing a dance routine that got the votes. Totally missed this, would voted "Dirty Boots" I think, but I like a bunch of these.
