Two (cool) videos

Flight Of The Conchords with a song about Brabaria (or was it Barbara?) and her lazy eye...


Buster Keaton comes to life (Wow - this guy was massive!) through the music of Radiohead...

Who organized all my ex-girlfriends into a choir?

Risking the chance that this site may be deemed an FOTC tribute blog, here's more genius from Flight Of The Conchords that lives out every guy's greatest fear (?)...

And more from Fever Ray, sounding so The Knife-like that one wonders what the brother in the band actually did. The video for "When I Grow Up" is slightly on the opposite end of the spectrum from FOTC's offerings. Nice diving board gyrations however!

I find you in everything that I do

In an attempt to be a little more discerning, I have sat on most of these for a while now, rendering them true keepers under the somewhat lofty title of The Best Of The Past Few Months (Or So)… Video Roundup ::

Seattle - The BPA featuring Emmy The Great
Norman Cook, as The BPA, is doing that imported singer/ 808 State/ Chemical Brothers thing these days. Emmy The Great’s vocals work wonders here and the video is currently at number one on my kiddo’s video charts - though they do get freaked out every time Fat Boy’s features rotate into the frame. Cook produces nothing new here, in fact the album “I Think We’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat” has been getting particularly bad reviews. But for all the stock beats and musical clichés, previous single “Toe Jam” is excellent and “Seattle” remains a catchy, happy tune… In America:

Fot i Hose – Casiokids
Another popular vid with the kiddos. Infectious, catchy tune and a (moderately) original video concept to boot. And now we know what makes that distinctive fuzzy slartibartfast sound: the mere flicking of a switch (puts my Triangle playing ambitions to shame!) There’s also a hint of surf-guitar. Casiokids are from Norway (the new Sweden).

If I Had A Heart - Fever Ray
Dark and strange, expertly shot offering from Karin Dreijer Andersson, the female half of the Swedish electronica brother-sister act The Knife. Very Knife'ish...
