With the massive publicity surrounding the end of Breaking Bad and the announcement of the spin off Better Call Saul, Bob Odenkirk is becoming a household name really fast. He of course played Saul Goodman in Breaking Bad, (a character without which I don't think the show could have reached the heights it did), but Bob… Read More

"Work Bitch" by Britney Spears is a song all about needing to work in order to achieve all the things that you want, like having a hot body, driving a Lamborghini, and living in a big mansion. Ya know, the simple things in life. Director Ben Mor, who also directed… Read More

Of the several things we're concentrating on here at IMVDb, data intake is one of the most difficult challenges. Around a year ago we started taking credits via a single web form, and since then we've had about 6,000 submissions. That's a good start, but there are some issues. One… Read More

Arcade Fire like to mix it up in the promotional department. They put out more interactive music videos than any other band we can think of, announce albums in replies to random fans, and use graffiti as viral marketing. This past Saturday they were on the season premiere of Saturday… Read More

We made it guys, another week of music videos in the books. Looking back, I’m surprised we even made it to the end. It’s no surprise that Mike WiLL Made It’s "23" was the most popular music video this week, given that it features Miley Cyrus (and Juicy J and… Read More

When I was in high school in South Florida, one of my jobs was working for a company that did live event entertainment. There was the odd wedding, but mostly it was bar/bat mitzvahs every weekend. I know, I know - I was cool. The point is, I saw a… Read More

In "This Is What It Feels Like," we find BANKS seductively performing in a house as a storm brews outside. As the storm moves past the windows, the lighting in each room shifts and shadows from the raindrops move along the walls. BANKS, as always, is almost impossibly beautiful in… Read More

It's a post-apocalyptic world and wolves have taken over the city in the animated video for "Hijack" by Tgya ft. 2 Chainz. The Colin Tilley directed clip begins with giant wolves running loose, smashing into cars and buildings as they're known to do. We then find Tyga, who triple backflips… Read More

Sure, music videos can be lofty artistic statements, but sometimes music videos are the perfect vehicle for some awesomely dumb stuff. Today we're watching one of my favorite dumb-but-hilarious music videos, "Sharks" (2012) by LA Font, directed by Hank Friedmann. The first thing you'll notice is this video takes place… Read More

Skylar Grey gets lucky in a variety of different ways in the music video/Nissan commercial for her cover of Daft Punk’s "Get Lucky," directed by Declan Whitebloom.

When the music video history of the 2000s is written, I think that it will prove to be the most transformative decade for music videos yet. And, I think that OK Go will fit into that history in a big way. From 2005 to the early part of the 2010s, OK Go… Read More
