music videos?

Now that MTV is nearly all TV and no M, I'm very
interested in the internet as a new, better (?)
channel for music videos, slow and low res as they may
be. (And if you look at the Rhizome Commission
finalsits, it seems like the net is workign on
replacing dead radio, too…) It's interesting to see
folks working within these constraints.

I'm currently doing a taxonomy of summer-themed music
videos, for a future project, and I'm watching a ton
of videos… Do you have any favorites you'd like to
pass along (summer-themed or otherwise)? Forward them
to me and I'll compile them and send them back to the
list. Definitely send your own stuff, too! For now,
the following are in high rotation, on my monitor:


The vidz of Paperrad speak for themselves:
http://www.paperrad.org/animations/animations.html

Anything by Metric. Good-sounding protesty work
rendered at an extra low res. Nice. The song Combat
Baby is especially cool:
http://www.ilovemetric.com/media.html

Anything directed by Ruben Fleischer. The MIA video's
pretty good and so is the "Hit Song," by Format, but I
luv Gold Chains. I come from SF includes the line "I
got a bass degree, it's my PhD." Now that's rap that
rocks:
http://www.ruben.fm/videos.html

Stuff by Har Mar Superstar (prev Sean Na Na),
especially DUI:

Husky Rescue's Summertime Cowboy
http://www.catskillsrecords.com/videos/cowboy/cowboy-small.html

And then for the more unusual stuff…

Lord of the Rhymes."Where the shire at?!" Super funny.
Unfortunately, they seem to have addded a very short
Intel ad in the last few days:
http://atomfilms.shockwave.com/contentPlay/video.jsp?id=lord_rhymes&track=0

SUMMERTIME (FAT002) Totaaal Extreeem music video.
Totaaally banal in a possibly cute way. Possibly.
http://www.freude-am-tanzen.com/inc_e/fun_video_s.html

Entertaining, if not controversial:
http://musicvids.richii.com/article174.html

And who, on Rhizome, can forget this?:
http://www.mteww.com/mtaaRR/news/twhid/beastie_beuys.html

But probably best of all is this one (which includes
the line "I am more powerful than dark vapor, oh baby
I am your new dictator."):
http://www.hugi.is/hahradi/bigboxes.php?box_idQ208&f_id75

You can also get info about vidz on IMDB (but not
watch) and if you're really into doing your homework
on songs, rights, authorship, and some vid stuff,
visit

http://www.freedb.org/ or

and elsewhere, i'm sure. let's share!
