new 'can scarcely remember the song' answers

The video to "fell in love with a girl" is not new, it's at least six months old.

Good new videos are The Vines - Get free and Tenacious D - Tribute.

Roman Coppola can ... EAT A NIGEL DICK.

Simple as it is, I really like Kelly Osbourne's video for "Papa Don't Preach". I also like that new Tweet video; she really is Aaliyah Mk II, isn't she?

I'm partial to the Malloys' work on Blink 182's "First Date". And the ping-pong P.O.D. video, because it's FUNNY! (Ping pong! HA!)

Tweet is the new Jamie Lee Curtis.

I know I'm not its target audience, but Truth Hurts' video for "Addictive" is more scary than even remotely erotic. That woman's face gives me nitemares.

The video for Kosheen's "Hide U" is pretty cool, in an Aphex Twin/ Prodigy sorta way.

K Osbourne's video is good, but there's something wrong about her dancing. The song isn't about good times it's about rough confrontations and her dancing should reflect that, be a bit more austere and cruel and dignified. Instead she has all these little shimmy moves that exist somewhere between ironic slumber-party karaoke dancing and... something else, and she moves alright, but there's no tease at all to it. From the first moment you've seen everything you will see from her. They ought to have started with pensiveness, total bad attitude, like I'm fucking Kelly Osbourne, I'm PISSED OFF, and I am NOT DANCING, and worked their way towards the ass-shaking (of whatever stripe) once the sentiment of the song became too much to hold inside.

Why they don't call me before storyboarding I'll never know.

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Um, the whole point of the video is that she's trying on clothes and fantasizing about being in a Nancy Sinatra video in the dressing room.

― Dan Perry, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

on muchmusic last week they played these three videos in a row:

1. strokes - hard to explain 2. white stripes - fell in love with a girl 3. radiohead - knives out

all fucking amazing videos -- i was glued to my set. the "pastiche recontextualization" of 'hard to explain' the silly but mindboggling 'fell in love with girl' (i hate the white stripes though, mind you) and the nightmarish surrealism of 'knives out' (which honestly does the best job at replicating a nightmare i've ever seen in film).

Yeah but when she looks in the camera it looks like she's crying. It's incongruous.

― Tracer Hand, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Fields of Salmon watched THE WEDGE! With Phantom Planet!

Both of his Strokes videos are part & parcel w/ the reason Coppola can go do what I said earlier. Pop-cult pastiche suckich, especially when the big lighted sign behind El Strokes rips off ELVIS! (I was impressed @ the recreation of the Wargames NORAD scene, with the Strokes' names inserted below the tic-tac-toe board. So droll.)

What the hell happened to that Nocturnal (sic, I know) video?

― Daver, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Pink's "Don't Let Me Get Me," which is also oldish, but which sort of illustrates her rebelling-yet-ultra-mainstream dichotomy even better than the record, both of which I love even though she's just r-y-u-m

― M Matos, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

k-os "heaven only knows" - great song. greater video. not so new, but worth mentioning.

― cybele, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The Strokes video makes the song seem PROFOUND.

― Keiko, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

both strokes videos are ex0rent! if your feathers get ruffled by elvis homage, don't watch their live from hollywood set from mtv2. it's modeled after the 68 comeback special.

― bc, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i think there should be more videos like the 'hard to explain' video. it presented a, um, microcosmic zeitgeist all unto itself. geez that sounded horrible -- i don't really know how to explain why i think it works -- it just creates a little world alongside the song with its own vocabulary and symbology and imagery and shared cultural memory and all that. it's really a nice thing. the other good thing about that video is that it would have worked well with ANY song (strokes or not).

who is phantom planet? who is nocturnal?

― fields of salmon, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The Video for "There Goes the Fear" by Doves is really great. It captures that sinking feeling we all get when life is a little too mundane and you just want to bust out, and run on the beach, and take a train to Rio.

― Dave Beckhouse, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Jeez, people still watch music videos? It's been so long that I'd all but forgotten bands even still made them.

Re: Blink-182's "First Date"...it seeks to make fun of Hair Metal, yet includes a Bee Gees parody. Does not compute.

― Daniel_Rf, Monday, 17 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I don't think that Blink 182 vid is seeking to make fun of hair metal so much as hirsute 70's rock ala Foghat and/or Grand Funk Railroad. Most of the video's aesthetic (save the tatoos) seeks to convey the same era of nostalgia as "Dazed & Confused" and, say, teen comedies like "Little Darlings" and "Meatballs" (both filmed in the very early 80's with a 70's hangover)

I miss The ITV Chart Show. You were guaranteed three seconds of (pre- duff) Stereolab at least once every two years.

― Alex Linsdell, Tuesday, 18 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You can download that White Stripes video here and own it forevah.

― Kate Spiren, Wednesday, 19 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

like I'm fucking Kelly Osbourne

you wish, tracer.

(sorry, i couldn't resist.)

― jess, Wednesday, 19 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

heh she is totally hot. However she is "keeping her baby".

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 19 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hmmm. you could always go after the one who decided not to be on the show.

― jess, Wednesday, 19 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

But how would I recognize her?

― Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 19 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

look for the pixilated filter which always hovers in front of her face. and the combo brit-cali accent.

― jess, Wednesday, 19 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

CHRISTINA MILIAN!!!!!!!!!

― jel --, Wednesday, 19 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Oxide & Neutrino Rap Dis (they got the atmosphere just right)
Chemical Brothers The Test
Galleon So I Begin (yummy!)
Marco V G.O.D.D. Anime!
Rank 1 Awakening (street racing!)
Puretone Addicted To Bass (again, racing = cool)
Svenson & Gielen Twisted
Tiga & Zyntherius Sunglasses At Night (OK, not that new)
X-Press 2 Lazy

nine years pass...

I'm not sure if this has been discussed anywhere so far, but the video for "Titanium" is kind of.... disturbing. I thought it was about a school shooting at first.

And I have to say as much as I hate everything about this song I've started to succumb to it!
