Do Me Right (2011, 62MB, 2:25 min)
Gosh! this is lovely and Gosh! Eddie Whelan is talented & capable.
We’ve admired his data-moshing skills on a number of occasions
but the man clearly has range and whats the word? – yes –
application. This vid for Ruby Kendrick looks so light and easy
and yet one jusy knows what it cost in time and effort
(and inspiration).
Oh -but worth it, so worth it.
C Point (2011, 32MB, 1:15 min)
Cyber Hero (2011, 43MB, 1:25 min)
My name is Marcin Rychlicki, , I’m 29 years old and
I live in Warsaw. For nearly three years I’ve been
creating videos for the Internet under the names
DJ Gacmaster and GacPax. An important element
of my movies is music. For some of them ,
for example, ‘Cyber Hero’, I composed it myself.
I’m trying to combine traditional music video with
the unconventionality of video art. From 2001
to 2006 I was a drummer in hardcore band C. Point.
I made this video for one of our songs: ‘Today’
*****************************************************
Both pieces great but C Point is a particular delight.
(My prejudice showing through of course, but I don’t
generally associate this musical genre with the kind
of gentle wit on display here.)
Not sure I completely understand Cyber Hero which is
apparently some sort of rejoinder to this (Huh?), but I
love the music.

Possibly only amusing (or even intelligible) to those hailing
from the area, I’m going to post it because I do & it makes
me laugh a lot.
Bit of background on Kid Acne here.
Love is a Wave (2010, 17MB, 1:59 min)
Another video for Crystal Stilts by the
difficult-to-discover-any-details-about armyofkids.
As with the first we posted (also, apparently, by aok)
stylish and dashing both.
Big Brown Eyes (1981, 4.2MB, 2 min.)
Animator Emily Hubley, known for the iconic animations
in the movie –Hedwig The Angry Inch made this video
for 1980’s pop band The DBs.

excerpt from ‘Word Music Fire’ (1981, 8.7MB, 7:45 min)
Found at newmusicbox ,which also has lots of interesting interview footage
with the composer. Despite the low quality of this clip, it suffices to indicate
what a thrilling piece of work this (originally made for TV by Channel 13/WNET)
must be in its entirety.
I’ve been a bit of an Ashley agnostic until now, but this has really whetted my appetite
for more.
Partly it’s that, music aside, the vid by John Sanborn in collaboration with
Kit Fitzgerald is so great.
Jail La La (2010, 65MB, 4:36 min)
Another music video, this time from
the Dum Dum Girls.
Great song, great film too, from Christin Turner.
Both make me dizzy inside & grin stupidly
on the outside.

Well Did You Evah? (1990, 14.2MB, 3:45 min)
Staying with Monday’s Iggy Pop theme, maybe you’re all
totally familiar with this but I never saw
it before & I think it is great .
Here he duets with Debbie Harry on the
Cole Porter song Well Did You Evah? as part of an
AIDS fundraiser from 1990.
Banana Ghost (2006, 24MB, 3:15 min.)

Bit Max Ernst-ish, eh?
