"Money" is a completely AWESOME music video of a track by
N.A.S.A. (
North America South America), a DJ collective featuring
Squeak E. Clean and
DJ Zegon plus many famous guest artists, including, on this track alone, David Byrne, Chuck D, Ras Congo, Seu Jorge, & Z-Trip. (Other tracks by N.A.S.A. feature the likes of Tom Waits, M.I.A., Gift of Gab and Kool Keith.) The video features the artwork of
Shepard Fairey, who has
been discussed previously here. The video was directed by Paul Griswold and
Syd Garon (who also did
this great video for DJ Qbert and
this one for Dan the Automator, which features some nice Gilliamesque touches.)

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)

OS X as music video. (SLYT) Dennis Liu's interpretation of "Again and Again" by the Bird and the Bee, using a particular operating system as inspiration. It does feel kind of like an Apple ad, but it's quite creative.

Riffing on the 1970s as the "Me Generation," Esquire Magazine once referred to the 1980s as the "Re Generation," making the case that all of our popular music, fashion, etc was being recycled from previous decades.
They had no idea. Since then, the flood of entertainment has deposited many more sedimentary layers of pop culture. Today, musicians and music videos mine these condensed strata of modern media as raw materials, producing works of
hyper-compressed cultural references. Case in point:
The Scissor Sisters' "Comfortably Numb",
Justice's "DVNO", and
The Darkness' "I Believe in a Thing Called Love." [more inside]

No PC should be without MS DOS 5 - apparently because it has mouse support, a full-screen editor, and an utterly inexplicable
music video. Guaranteed to save you at least 45K!!!
of RAM, that is.

I am Murloc. Cool World of Warcraft music video. (Note: Impressed me, but I've never played WoW. Might not impress WoW players, I dunno. Won't change your mind if you already hate WoW. Horrible vocals.)

Former members of Luna, Dean Wareham and Britta Phillips, make lovely
videos together. Dean also fronted Galaxie 500 and Britta was the singing voice of 80's cartoon character, Jem.
