First time doing a music video list. There were just so many good ones this year...
[Click the thumbnails to see the clips]NUMBER TEN
-------------------------
CRYSTAL CASTLES
PLAUGE
Not sure if this counts, since it's basically just playing the song over a scene of a 30 year old film, buuuuuut it matches up so damn well I gotta give it credit for that.
NUMBER NINE
-------------------------
GRIZZLY BEAR
YET AGAIN
Sure, it makes no sense, and probably more arty than it's worth, buuuuuut I love music videos that feel like dreams. It's a loosely connected horror story.
NUMBER EIGHT
--------------------------
POLYSICS
LUCKY STAR
Still not a big fan of the song, buuuuuut the stock footage is really cool, and all the editing of weird abstract stuff mixed with a kid goofing around drives home a common motif of Polysics.
NUMBER SEVEN
--------------------------
IT ALL MEANS NOTHING / LEAVE IT ALL UP TO ME
Yeah, these videos are gross, and pretty simple, buuuuut I'm a sucker for two-parters.
NUMBER SIX
--------------------
WE ARE THE PHYSICS
GORAN
IVANISEVIC
Great metaphor to accompany a surprisingly resonant song.
NUMBER FIVE
------------------------
THE TELEPHONES
D.E.N.W.A
Fuck y'all, this video is funny as all get out. Stupid, and knows it.
NUMBER FOUR
------------------------
LAIRS
NO. 1 AGAINST THE RUSH
Dark and freaky. Thats how I like Liars. Brats would be on this list too, but I'm sticking to one video per band.
NUMBER THREE
---------------------------
SQUAREPUSHER
DARK STEERING
Can't get enough of those LEDs!
NUMBER TWO
-----------------------
CHAIRLIFT
MET BEFORE
OMG INTERACTIVE MUSIC VIDEO YEAAAAAH
NUMBER ONE
------------------------
HOT CHIP
NIGHT & DAY
Giving Hot Chip extra credit because they did two other amazing music videos this year, but this mental dance party was my favorite.
