If you love ABBA, you are probably thinking that since they broke up in 1982, they probably don't have a lot of music videos for you to watch. Well, you'd be wrong. Very wrong. ABBA has music videos for pretty much their entire singles catalog - we have 32 videos… Read More

Beck just turned 43 yesterday, and for a guy who is still young, he's had a pretty varied career. From his early low-fi stuff, to being a 90s superstar, to sad acoustic albums, Beck has had a lot of career "eras" in a relatively short amount of time. My favorite… Read More

There's only a few things we're pretty sure humans were doing thousands of years that we still do today. Other than the classics like staying warm with fire and killing each other, watching other humans move around to music is gotta be on that list somewhere. That's what makes dance… Read More

Here's my confession: I was actually a little bummed with LMFAO announced they were taking a hiatus in 2012. There's always going to be artistic bands making great music and there will always be pop groups making party music, and as far as party music goes, LMFAO knew what they… Read More

July 4th is full of symbols like flags and fireworks, but what about all the other great American things out there that don't get any love? I'm not talking about the marquee items like baseball and NASCAR, but the things you may not even notice as being particularly American, like… Read More

At my Aunt & Uncle's house in Barrie, Ontario there is a CD rack with a copy of Alanis Morissette's 1991 debut album Alanis. It's a goofy, Debbie Gibson-eqsue record which spawned a few music videos, including the awesomely hilarious "Too Hot". Oddly enough, it does not show up on… Read More

In the later 1990s and early 2000s, Radiohead had a real talent for creating some folklore around their music videos. I'm thinking about the final moment of "Just" or the holding-your-breath stunt in "No Surprises". Somewhere in 2003 they decided all their videos were going to be dance and/or computer… Read More

I've always felt that the British band Keane is underrated as a fun band just to watch. I don't know why, but put them side by side with their old buddies Coldplay (Keane composer/pianst Tim Rice-Oxley was once invited to be a member of Coldplay in the band's early days… Read More

I miss the strut. It's been so long in the music video world since we've had a music video that showcases this seemingly lost art form, even while strut-worthy songs like Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" sit high on our Billboard charts. I'm not talking about swag, I'm taking about strut.… Read More

Director Jake Nava has a talent for directing really great dance videos (with the help of some talented choreographers and performers, of course). One of his videos, "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" by Beyonce, was good enough to cause Kanye West to take the mic away from Taylor… Read More

Normally, upscale daytime parties like the one featured in "Do Or Die" by Flux Pavilion feat. Childish Gambino would be fine with just an iPod and some speakers in the corner playing a Pandora station. This party, however, has booked English dubstep DJ Flux Pavilion, and they don't know what… Read More

TLC's song "Waterfalls" will be 20 years old in a few years, and for some reason the surviving members of the trio recently recorded a version for release in Japan with Japanese singer Namie Amuro in place of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, who died in 2002 in a car crash.… Read More

Out of all the weird show business friendships, I feel like the one between Conan O'Brien and Jack White is near the top for me. It's not that Conan isn't cool enough to hang with Jack White, it's that Jack and Conan both cultivate such different public personalities - Jack White… Read More

In August 2003, I was enjoying my first weekend at college and there was a concert to welcome the students. The lineup was Guster and a band I'd never heard of but would be hearing lots of over the next 7 years - The Black Eyed Peas. They were fresh… Read More

So, we all got a good look at Miley Cyrus twerking this week. Diane Martel's video for "We Can't Stop" was a very popular video for many reasons (not least of which being it's just a great video), but one of the big themes people touched on while talking about… Read More

Every true Weezer fan's love for their sophomore release Pinkerton grows by leaps and bounds with each passing year. Pretty much panned on its release in 1996, Pinkerton has been re-cast as a misunderstood work of art that was before its time. It's also true that most casual music fans… Read More

When they finally retire, U2 will be remembered for a lot of things. For a band that has placed such a big emphasis on visuals, I think U2 will be more remembered for their live shows and their personas than their music videos. They've had some great ones, some good… Read More

An album called Yeezus comes out today, adding another chapter to the ongoing saga of Mr. Kanye West. You might remember that he's been projecting his face onto buildings lately in promotion of this album, but we have not seen a regular old YouTube music video coming down the pipes.… Read More

We've never been to a casting audition before, but we figure that if you need some odd characters for a music video, that'd be the first place you'd look. In the video for "No Bueno" by Angel Haze, director by Frank Borin has decided to cut out the middle man and feature people… Read More

Some music videos just seem to, for whatever reason, embody a time period from a whole decade to just a year. It's something about the ubiquity of a music video plus the added element of music which is always tied to a time and place. So today we're watching a… Read More

Tonight is the 8th annual Sprockets Music Video Festival in Athens, GA, put on by FilmAthens, and we're excited to announce the line up for the show, which is a great mix of international artists, national artists, and artists from Georgia. You can find them all below, as well as… Read More

It's Friday so you know what time it is - we're here to tally up all the top music videos that were released in in the last week so we can feed our crippling addiction to lists. Here we go! The Lonely Island has been hovering around our Top 10… Read More

For a while in the early 2000s, bands were releasing DVD collections of their music videos and including DVD commentary tracks. There were a lot of good ones, but my favorite is probably Barelaked Nadies from 2002 where the Barenaked Ladies watch all of their videos from 1992 onwards in… Read More

If you're going to put a sound system on a bike a ride it around, it feels right that it should be playing a cassette tape. Amplify Dot pops one in at the beginning of "I'm Good" and rides around the streets of Jamaica. Directed by Jeremy Rall, the video… Read More

Once in a while a director just clicks with an artist for a certain period of that artist's output. Whatever the reason, the director and artist are on the same wavelength. We're really glad this happened to MGMT and director Ray Tintori in 2009 when MGMT released Oracular Spectacular. Of… Read More
