Welcome to
mcbess, a land of
odd illustrations in black and white*, something of a
dark and dingy take on Merry Melodies, where
the men are bearded, and
the ladies are toothy, busty (and often topless, in a vaguely NSFW cartoony way). There are also some
large-scale illustrations with all those elements, and more. Matthieu Bessudo, aka mcbess, is also in a band,
The Dead Pirates, and his art and music met with the video
Wood (Vimeo;
also on YouTube; more info
here).

The cautionary tale of the shiny new device that's smarter than its users and ends up taking over is pretty much cliché... but it took Australian pop musicker
Gotye (prounced like Gaultier, if that helps) to apply it to a
Lowrey Organ (the
Cotillion D575, a vintage model he acquired for $100 and uses both in his recordings and concerts). Add retro-style animation, and you have something scary yet whimsical and truly
"State of the Art".

All Nightmare Long is a nine-minute-long alternative-history science fiction/horror fake documentary with stop motion animation, rotoscoping and Soviet propaganda thrown in. There's also a Metallica song attached to it, but you might not even notice it's a music video. (Or watch it on
Youtube)

Excellent music video for an interesting cover version of Radiohead's Just (originally off of
The Bends) by British musician Mark Ronson. Song is done in a more 1960's
Stax-Volt Records style, using gratuitous horn samples; video is shot on the streets of an English city (I believe London, but am not sure) and features animated graffiti coming to life & dancing to the song, as well as a cameo by the tiled creations of
Invader. First link goes to a page about the song, with video download links in wmv & qt at the bottom.
Still no answer as to what that guy was saying in the original version of the video, sadly.

Bizarre music video featuring a cgi animated Nazi army composed of anthropomorphized piglets. The video is for a song called Shvayne by a 19 year old Russian singer named
Natasha Ionova, who performs under the name
Glukoza.
Video is embedded flash animation.
