I though they might have been by the same director as both videos bizarrely use the same Pam Hogg catsuit, but no, entirely different directors on entirely different sides of the world.Groove Armada - I Won't Keel by Anthony DickensonThis video got a great write up on promo news with a decent amount of behind the scenes detail from thehttp://harmsies-bloglog.blogspot.com/2011/06/battle-of-catsuits.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sacha Harmsworth)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025699821702846859.post-5267058606328616091Mon, 07 Mar 2011 17:39:00 +00002011-03-06T18:36:36.763-08:00This video:Vampire weekend - giving up the gun by the Malloy Brothers multiplied by this video:MIA, Born Free - Romain GavrasM.I.A, Born Free from ROMAIN-GAVRAS on Vimeo.Equals this video:Metal on Metal - Bastard, glue society.

Here are three videos by three artists who consistently deliver.First up is Aussie pop mix Sia, who has made low-fi stop animation her usp. Her latest is a fun singstar take offSia - You've changedSia - ButtonsSia - breath meHot chip have delivered some great quirky videos in the past, but their latest takes some beating, the video http://harmsies-bloglog.blogspot.com/2010/01/3-for-3-three-great-vids-from-three.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sacha Harmsworth)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025699821702846859.post-479671428150179227Mon, 22 Feb 2010 12:19:00 +00002010-04-07T02:31:06.469-07:00Foreign Beggars 'Contact'Good to see people from your school doing something really creative and making it. Who would have thought young Dag Torgersbraten (AKA Dag Nabbit) would be come a superstar Drum and Bass producer? They have been plugging away for a long time now and the big time is calling. Currently touring with the Prodigy and the release "Contact" should settle it.

There is so much going on in this video from Alex Kapranos's odd coloured shoes to the different video perspectives from the dancers.The best bit though is the strange contratont the lead signer has with the androgynous Valkyrie. Superbly shot and timed perfectly to the music, well done Nima Nourizadeh.See the more detailed write up on http://harmsies-bloglog.blogspot.com/2009/12/best-music-videos-of-2009.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sacha Harmsworth)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025699821702846859.post-1173516690664245059Thu, 12 Nov 2009 15:54:00 +00002009-11-12T05:00:50.829-08:00A very quick post as its been ages...Architecture in Helsinki - Do the wirlwind (the original video I think)Arcade style retro graphics reminds me very much of Double Dragon game from 'bout a thousand years ago.

A film you really need to be in the mood to watch, bit depressing and long winded (not to say its not good, but pick a time and place), fab sound track though.

I got thinking about videos with other actors in them, so here's a few. Its also an excuss to show one of my favourite vids: At the bottom of everything.Look its Trence Stamp!At the bottom of everything by Bright EyesLook its Noel Fielding!Mint Royal - Blue SongLook its Simon Pegg and that David Williams http://harmsies-bloglog.blogspot.com/2008/11/look-its-terence-stamp.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sacha Harmsworth)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025699821702846859.post-8496941857662739183Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:46:00 +00002009-09-25T07:53:21.386-07:00As promised more regular bite size posts. Some videos inspired by Bollywood iconography, Not a massive topic but there have been some really nice promos done recently drawing this inspiration most notable the first video.Indie-folk singer Darvendra Banhart has done this fun video with Natalie Portman, low budget but lavish costume and set design bringing to life a Hindu parable in proper http://harmsies-bloglog.blogspot.com/2008/07/in-bollywood-style.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sacha Harmsworth)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025699821702846859.post-5793352684974339160Mon, 09 Jun 2008 09:37:00 +00002009-01-12T05:19:28.179-08:00I thought we would jump in straight into this massive genre with Mika's Lollipop.Just a quick note, this video was made by a collective of French animators all with their own styles and then edited together to blend it in to a seamless whole.Animated videos, probablly started with Beatles when they made Yellow submarine.

My dyslexia just about copes with English let alone a language that has funny things over its letters.Not only has she been taking chances with her music over the years (some of it verging on damn near unlistenable) she has also been http://harmsies-bloglog.blogspot.com/2007/08/just-what-is-she-doing.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sacha Harmsworth)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025699821702846859.post-8785025181537299887Tue, 17 Jul 2007 14:23:00 +00002009-09-25T07:42:07.591-07:00Right I have restarted this blog, as I have found something to say after all. Part showcase, part education, part vanity (like anyone will read this regularly and as though I am some sort of authority on this topic). I am going to try and do a monthly Music Video Blog but we will see how it goes might be every 2 months or till I run out of videos.So here we go, this month in a continuation of my http://harmsies-bloglog.blogspot.com/2007/07/french-dressing.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Sacha Harmsworth)3
