music videos

This is what you get when you combine OK Go's visually intriguing music videos with the Muppet's doing their classic Muppet Theme. I love how even cranky old Waldord and Astoria are included.

Might I also include an adorable Simpson's quote about the Muppets while I'm at it?

Lisa: "Dad what's a Muppet?" 

Homer: "Well, it's not quite a mop, and its not quite a puppet, but man (laughing)... So to answer your question I don't know."

At a loss for what to do for your band's music video? Cats. Problem solved.

I'm absolutely in love with this chorus of 5th graders from a school Staten Island, NY called PS22. They do covers of songs ranging from Eminem, to Crowded House, to Lady Gaga, to this cover above of "Lisztomania" by the indie band Phoenix. Aside from the covers of the songs which are so fun to hear what I love best is how much fun they are having and how into the experience they are! Rock on!

Check out PS22's YouTube channel to see and hear more of their songs.

P.S. Here's Phoenix performing this song if you're in the mood... Such a great song.

Hello most adorable Hanukkah song/video ever! This is a most awesomely done homage to Mike Tompkin's fabulous acapella version of Dynamite. Happy 3rd night of Hanukkah to those celebrating! 

OK Go's latest music video is totally impressive as always. It is comprised entirely of photos of pieces of toast with images burned into them. I also love this statement on the video's YouTube page:

"All 215 loaves of bread used in the making of this video were past their sell-by date and rescued from the clutches of certain disposal."

Nope. Still not tired of OK Go's videos. And now they've added doggy friends to the mix.

Say what you will about the Gap, I've always thought this commercial (from 2005) was so adorable. Love Daft Punk. Love the song. Love the messages in "discovery helmets" at the end. So cute!
