According to the Next Big Thing site, this video was created by an Italian singer who wrote this song of gibberish to emulate what English sounds like to Italians. Sure, whatever. But let’s get down to what counts – the funk. Liking it BIG time. I want it for my iPod.

It’s been around for a bit, but I’m liking this music video from Royksopp. I love the blend of animation and live action.
Directed by Reuben Sutherland from Joyrider Films in the UK.
Possibly the coolest cover of the year. The creative collective from Milk Studios in NYC, Legs, has created this visual/audio interpretation of Iggy Pop’s I Wanna Be Your Dog. Reveling in the snakey desperation and relative anonymity of the casting process, the staccato percussion is captured in the models’ feet tapping and nail drumming, while the lyrics are the audition scripts. And all of it intercut with the director/creative’s detached, withering appraisal. Really well done. Dig the music. Love the lighting.
Director: Georgie Greville

Esteban Diácono created this brain hummer using Adobe After Effects, a song called Ljósið by Olafur Arnalds, and a deep understanding of what I need right now. It really starts to blossom at the :40 mark.

I just love this. Turning those prudish black bars from something that prevents one from being able to see, into something to look at. Go art go.
