Let's pretend it's Thursday?

Never will I actually play by the rules I establish. But I will trudge on.

Okay, time for something fun and link-able.

I want to see everyone's Top 5 favorite music videos. If you can find it on the YouTube, paste a link underneath each one so we can all revel in the glory of your favorite music.

I promise to watch every single music video you all post. Think of this as an opportunity to broaden your horizons :)

    1. I'm Afraid of Americans - David Bowie/NIN

    I love this video so damn much. I've written about 10 different versions of this comment and keep deleting it because I can't any words to say that sum up why I love it. So, I'll just leave it at: Everything about this song kicks ass. Oh, and every copy of this I've every owned as been this same Much Music rip. I'm not sure why it further validates my putting it on this list, but it does.

    2. Low Rising - Swell Season

    What a beautifully shot video that wonderfully captures the mood and sentiment of the song. The piece where Marketa fills the tea pot with the rain over her head kills me. So cool.

    3. The Space Between - How to Destroy Angels

    More Trent Reznor. This video is so aesthetically pleasing and the fire effects kick major ass. Can't get enough Trent Reznor.

    4. Treat Me Like Your Mother - Dead Weather
    Apparently I really enjoy watching collaborative artists shooting each other with fake guns. Who knew?

    5. Diablo Rojo - Rodrigo y Gabriela
    Knowing this song is called "Devil Roller Coaster" makes the whole enterprise make sense. The song tilts and twirls with the camera angles. I love how the video just focuses on the two of them rocking out and yet seems to capture the flow of the song. Awesome video.

    I have to say that if I were to do this list 10 more times I'd probably come up with 10 different lists. This was super fun to put together because it just led to watching a ton of other awesome videos that didn't make the list, but certainly made my night.

    I eagerly await your selections so that I may have an excuse to do this all over again :)

    So, last week I wrote up a really in-depth post for this, but blogspot decided to fuck up right as I posted it and I almost punched a hole in the wall. In short,
    here are 5 videos that blew mind mind when I was at the age where music videos were amazing, bigger than life and still felt important. I also threw in one more-recent video for the hell of it.

    5. Tool - Sober

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hglVqACd1C8

    4. Aphex Twin - Windowlicker aka Chris Cunningham rules pt1

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Y0T60MwBc4&feature=related

    3. Chevelle - Point #1

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g41_dobr8t8

    2. Bjork - All is Full of Love aka Chris Cunningham rules pt2

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjAoBKagWQA

    1. Radiohead - Street Spirit (Fade Out) aka my favorite video of all time.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrTB-iiecqk

    BONUS - Johnny Cash - Hurt aka Mark Romanek hits it out of the park

    I won't put some lengthy explanation into each of these, as I think they can explain themselves...

    1. When You're Falling -
    Afro Celt Sound System feat. Peter Gabriel
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=em7bk_McVHU

    2. Wynona's Big Brown Beaver -
    Primus
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYDfwUJzYQg

    3. Sabotage -

    4. Two Weeks -

    5. Short Skirt Long Jacket -

    I agree with Bill, I could make this list 10 times and probably come up with new things each time... but these will do just fine :)
