6. RJD2, The guy in this video is the subject of a future documentary called
“Crutch”. He’s a handicapable B Boy. The video is one continuous single
shot. Insane moves and a cool tune…
5. Bat For Lashes, When the song starts, I start humming “Be My Baby”. Also,
apparently one long, continuous shot. Love the Donnie Darko references.
4. Rock Plaza Central, This is a little ray of sunshine from an otherwise
cloudy band. The puppets are from the Canadian television show Nanalan.
Which, if you are up at 4:30 am, can be entertaining. P.S. Your dog wants
steak.
3. Stars, Normally I don’t approve of the whole “He’s leaving home for the
big city/Bronski Beat” style of video. Especially when it’s coupled with a
“Down and out, but he’s ok in the end” montage. Luckily, this song makes up
for the video. Props to the Fillmore’s shot.
2. Rogue Wave, I like this band a lot, but I can’t help feeling like they
think the O.C. is still on the air. Seriously, this song was written for a
hot girl in a bathing suit to walk down the beach while carrying her shoes.
When the chorus crashes, I can actually hear her ignoring me.
1. Ted Leo, Without the Pharmacists, it’s a little like the Travis/Britney
cover from a couple years ago. He really tries to nail those Idol high
parts, good for him, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs bit is an awesome bonus.
