Our top ten music videos - October 2011
This section should be pretty obvious from the title. Our aim is to showcase the best music videos we can find. Whether it's the top 5 videos featuring lycra or top ten 10 garage videos featuring MC Creed, we will be making lists. We start with a simple one: 10 of our favourite videos in no particular order. That's it. It's taken up quite a lot of office time and the boss reckons productivity is down but who cares, it was a lot of fun working out.
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
Taken from the Spike Jonze short 'Scenes From The Suburbs'. Soldiers take over the suburbs, a kid gets beaten up. One for aspiring cinematographers and film makers, we think it's beautiful.
(Spike Jonze - November 2010)
Cinnamon Chasers - Luv Deluxe
Incredible point of view video with sublime edits and twisted plot. We love their teenage kicks and the tingles this tune give us. Stealing is dishonest and a little bit illegal but these guys just make it cute and sexy!
(Saman Keshavarz - 2009)
Caspa - Fulham 2 Waterloo
A night in the life of a London cabbie and a superstar DJ. Could their lives really be that different? Lesbians, bankers and 'oi, oi boys', it's almost like a cross section of society with a heavy soundtrack.
(Dan Higginson - May 2011)
Is Tropical - The Greeks
Look away now if you don't like guns and blood..well, cartoon blood. In this video a group of kids wage a violent drug war in their neighbourhood.
(MEGAFORCE - May 2011)
Beastie Boys - Make Some Noise
Celebrity appearances aplenty. The Beastie Boys continue the party from 1986's 'Fight For Your Right' by causing trouble and smashing up a 'bodega' that's an offie to you and I.
(April 2011)
Tyler, The Creator - Yonkers
Everyone knows that Tyler is a bad man, but in silhouette he looks even more sinister, especially with his pet roach.
(Tyler, The Creator - February 2011)
Chase and Status - Let You Go (ft Mali)
Finally someone is getting their own back on those awful daytime chat show hosts. This video is on point with the TV chat show who just falls off.
(thirtytwo - August 2010)
The Prodigy - Smack My Bitch Up
Originally banned by MTV in the 90s, this video still divides people and is not one you want to watch with your parents.
(Jonas Åkerlund - 1998)
Aphex Twin - Window Licker
If you grew up in the 90s and watched MTV then you will know all about this video. Don't worry we all double took at the freaky lady boys!
(Chris Cunningham - 1999)
Skrillex - First Of The Year (Equinox)
A tune that is certain to divide audiences deserves a video like this. Creepy.
(Tony T - 2011)
