Recent Doomsday signee Elliott Sellers has been one of the most consistent directors of 2013. His use of effects always help to establish a distinct tone or narrative in his videos, and are rarely used to simply look cool. His latest video, "Tiger" by MYPET is a great example of… Read More

Posted by Adam Fairholm on July 24, 2013 in Music Video Relapse

Posted by Adam Fairholm on July 22, 2013 in Commentary

Posted by Adam Fairholm on July 22, 2013 in Music Video Relapse
Fred Durst did a reddit AMA yesterday afternoon. In the early hours of the AMA, the top comment was simply "lol" (this has since been deleted), so Durst faced a bit of an uphill battle for a while with the general reddit community. Durst pushed through, though, and it was… Read More

Doug(las) Klinger, Content Director for IMVDb, is a big Eminem fan, so I didn't tell him I was writing about Eminem today for our Music Video Relapse post because he'd probably tell me to pick "Toy Soldiers" or something super deep, but this is column so I'm going whole hog… Read More

Music Video Relapse: "Amish Paradise" (1996) by Weird Al Yankovic
Posted by Adam Fairholm on July 18, 2013 in Music Video Relapse
Somewhere along the path of his career, Weird Al stopped really parodying music videos. I don't know why. If you'll recall, when Weird Al used to parody a song, he parodied the music video as well, as if the music video was so important to the identity of the song… Read More
