pixelbirds – cube pusher
Cube Pusher (2007, 31MB, 2:49 min)
Deft & very attractive interweaving of video & live performance from pixelbirds.
They make it look effortless; of course it’s anything but.
There’s an interesting form emerging here, with this physical intervention/relation
of live performers to a projection.
This notion has some way to unfold yet, I think, but
this is an excellent staging post.
Lewis LaCook -<em>Joey</em>
A new video from Lewis LaCook comes too infrequently.
He’s one of a kind in his and here too.
There’s a throwing of everything, including the
kitchen sink, going in his movies & it shouldn’t work
but it so does.
We’ll repost another of his pieces tomorrow; a little feast for you.
Just for the record here’s Lewis’s description of the piece:
Joey, or DJ Joey, as he is affectionately called, is a
young man in Lorain, Ohio, who spends most of his day
dancing on the corner of 28th Street and Elyria Avenue
to his boombox, waving and smiling at passing
traffic.
This video was constructed of footage found on
YouTube, all dealing with Lorain, Ohio. This is the
first video I
Ready for the Floor
Hot Chip – Ready for the Floor (2008, 26.6MB, 3:42)
Yeah yeah, more hipster music videos. But they’re so good!
Hot Chip’s second single from their newest album,
featuring their front man in various Joker references,
including the line, “You’re my number one guy,”
originally used repeatedly in 1989’s Batman.
See? You know you love it.

Sensual Seduction
Snoop Dogg – Sensual Seduction (2007, 35.3MB, 4:08)
So Snoop Dogg is a misogynist and exploits
his own Black culture regularly.
I get it, and I preach it: the guy is nasty.
But if this isn’t an amazing music video,
I don’t know what is.
This song is called Sexual Eruption, but for
obvious reasons, the edited “clean” version
is the one being passed around.
It’s been out for several months, and I’ve been
debating whether or not to post it.
But since our mission is to post what thrills and
excites us, here it is.
I hope it does something similar for you.
Tribulations
Tribulations (2005, 17.6MB, 3:59)
As the resident DVblog 20-something pseudo-hipster,
I’m almost contractually obligated to post video like this.
LCD Soundsystem makes insanely danceable tracks,
sometimes clocking in well over twelve minutes,
always ironically self-referential and poking fun
at their main demographic (who may/not be getting the joke).
So here is the 2005 hit single’s clever music video.
Girls with barrettes and men in women’s pants everywhere rejoice.
Nigel Ayers – Soul Zodiac
Soul Zodiac (2007, 6.4MB, 2:12 min)
Interesting documentation of a piece recently shown at
Newlyn Art Gallery by Cornish based artist Nigel Ayers.
The zodiacal stuff leaves me a bit cold but the sound is utterly wonderful,
and the simple yet elegant & effective presentation is great too.
Resexed Pistols – Antonio Mendoza
Resexed Pistols (2006, 6.4MB, 2:06 min)
“another remix of the sex pistols piece you posted a while ago..
i had been working on it awhile ago then i went on vacation… and when
i saw the valdez piece, i felt someone had been searching my harddrive.
then i saw the piece (which is great) and realized that they’re quite
different, even though they tread in the same arena… i don’t know why so many
of us have been attracted to redoing the same clip (remember jimpunk did
another remix), but here is my mine.”

Aaron Valdez – Anarchy Delayed
Anarchy (Slight Delay) (2006, 17.8MB, 3:23 min.)
In which Aaron Valdez takes the Sex Pistols vid from
these very pages and..er..does stuff to it.
Explains Aaron:
‘This is the second entry in a study (or me messing around) with audio
and video delay. I did a Bob Dylan one way back. Nothing new but
interesting nonetheless. I made three tracks of video each offset by
6 frames then I cut out three frames alternating between those three
tracks. It
