Music Videos (are cool again)

I quickly am becoming infatuated with Music Videos on a level once reserved only for magazines. After going out of vogue from 1998-2008 I now am able to appreciate them again. Gone are the trashy cookie cutter dancey danceness of Brittney Spears and the Spice Girls and in are the phantasmagorical video-synths that hearken back to our perception of the 80’s. I really think that the music video allows for so much creativity that it has the potential to do so much more than most mediums. Perhaps I am giving them too much credit as the vast majority are still pretty bland and I am probably just expounding upon the topic because of my own desire to direct music videos or to do anything creative. I also should say that I consider a lot of today’s commercials to be the same thing as a music video. Anyway, I thought I would share some music videos that I particularly like.
