13 Music Videos W/ Special Effects Part VIII

I made this using only screen shots from the videos on the list and photoshop. Please don't sue me, I'm one of those broke artist types and have made $0 from this website. I'll happily remove the art from your video if you don't want to be included. 

1. Chromatics - "Shadow" 2017  PORTLAND MUSIC  While Chromatics may hail from Portland, they've done a great job of making sure that their art goes global. I'm sure you'll agree that Ruth Radelet has those spaceship eyes (see above).




2. Ivan Ave - "Circle" 2016 (Produced by Mndsgn)  I fuck with triangles, rectangles, hectagons, AND circles but Ivan Ave has shaped up his own opinion. >>> "I don't really fuck with triangles no more, I don't really fuck with rectangles either, I don't fuck with hectagons even. I'm done tryna work the angles, it's enough just working the circle." That said, I definitely fuck with this song.




3. Everything Is Recorded feat. Sampha - "Close But Not Quite" 2017  The art is this video really does it for me. Anyone else feel like Everything Is Recorded popped out of nowhere? Thank you to XL Recordings for showing us so much great music over the years. Sampha really fux with the special effects, see below. I get it, me too.





4. The Chemical Brothers feat. Beck - "Wide Open" 2016  Young Jedi, if you master special effects at a low budget, you'll be able to do cool shit like this later.




5. Homeboy Sandman - "Bamboo" 2017  The creative team behind this video nailed it. Sending virtual good jobs out to Schlonglord (lol), The Lurk, and Robert Adam Mayer.




6. James Blake feat. Bon Iver - "I Need A Forest Fire" 2016  Now is actually a great time to need a forest fire...

The Colour In Anything is a magical album for when you need to create a chill zone.




7. TOKiMONSTA feat. Yuna - "Don't Call Me" 2017  It kinda seems like these two are way more into circles than Ivan Ave who made a whole song about it. He actually used more ovals than circles; these two are legit circle fans. Ivan Ave may be a poser in the circle loving world. I write shit like that so that when I read this later, I'll laugh out loud.




8. Beth Ditto - "Fire" 2017  My favorite parts of this video are when she uses the whip to steal that guys corn dog and that one of the guys keeps his brass knuckles down his pants. Beth Ditto (also of The Gossip) was born to be a superstar.




9. Young Fathers - "I Heard" 2013  I'd never really listed to anything from the Anticon crew before but was prompted to check it out after serving Doseone at The Crocodile one night. The mirror effects in this video totally wicked and affordable for those who are thinking about progressing past their status as Soundcloud rapper (you may not know who you are).




10. La Luz - "You Disappear" 2015  SEATTLE MUSIC  There is a lot to love about La Luz; watch and find out for yourself.




11. Bjork - "notget" 2017  Bjork has been an inspiration to artists spanning all genres for decades but stays eternally young due to her deep seeded wonderful weirdness.




This is one of the best photos I've ever seen.

12. Sampha - "Blood On Me" 2016  You know you're winning at life when you get to drop a car from a tree in your music video. His latest album, Process, is waiting for you on your favorite music platform when you're ready.




13. Busta Rhymes + Janet Jackson - "What's It Gonna Be?!" 1998  This may be one of the most 90s videos ever. Busta as a silver band conductor for the win.

Ten Music Videos featuring Clocks

1. Sade - "Kiss Of Life" 1993  *Sade is now 54 years old, she should write a manual about how to age well. Maybe the key is taking the time to listen to smooth, relaxing music like hers.

2. Survivor - "Eye Of The Tiger" 1982  *Solid guy jam.

*It's hard for me not to sing the lyrics to this commercial when listening to this song.

3. Oingo Boingo - "Weird Science" 1985  *The Weird Science movie is cool too.

4. The Bangles - "Manic Monday" 1986  *Some of these clocks are floating.

5. Janet Jackson feat. Q-Tip and Joni Mitchell - "Got Til It's Gone" 1997  *This video also has a weird rodent looking animal around 0:20. I am definitely on Team Janet.

6. Fleetwood Mac - "Everywhere" 1987  *This music video is a period piece, it is from a time when horses delivered messages.

7. The Cure - "Lullaby" 1989  *Maybe he should get out of bed and go outside or something. I love this band, song, and video but really, he has been in bed so long that he is covered in spiderwebs.

 

 

8. The Chemical Brothers - "Let Forever Be" 1999  *This video has stellar special effects.

 

 

 

9. Grayskul feat. Andrea Zollo - "Missing" 2008  *They did a great job on this video. I like that the Suzzallo Library at UW is included @ 2:34.

 

 

 

10. The Roots - "Proceed" 1994  *This video also contains water, sped up city scenes, street signs, rappers walking down the middle of the street, and a look at what Jimmy Fallon's band looked like almost twenty years ago.

 

Ten Music Videos featuring Cats

Here's a YouTube playlist with these ten cat videos plus one more...

1. Michael Jackson - "Smooth Criminal" 1987  *I love the pool table scene starting @ 2:28. This video is nine and a half minutes of serious dance moves.



2. Hodgy, Domo Genesis, and Tyler The Creator - "Rella" 2012  *I wouldn't recommend watching this (or any other Odd Future) video if you are easily offended.



3. Jeff Buckley - "Grace" 1994  *He does seem like he would have been a cat guy.



4. Fences - "Girls With Accents" 2011  *I believe there is a cat and a dog in this video, as well as many obstacles that he made for himself.



5. Salt 'N' Pepa and En Vogue - "Whatta Man" 1994  *The cat is a present from Treach.



6. The Uncluded (Aesop Rock and Kimya Dawson) - "Earthquake" 2013  *Dang, I don't like this song at all but I appreciate that they made a unique song.



7. Veruca Salt - "Seether" 1994  *According to a dictionary website this is the actual definition of seether:

Seether
Seeth"er\, n. A pot for boiling things; a boiler.

not, "the center of it all" or the many things that the Veruca Salt ladies say seether is "neither"

confusing, I know



8. Smoke DZA feat. Joey Bada$$ - "Gotham Fucking City" 2013  *I don't love this song and I don't love cats, but, it's hilarious that this video has a cat in it, even if it is just for a second.



9. The Chemical Brothers feat. Noel Gallagher - "Setting Sun" 1996  *I loved this song when it came out, but now when I hear it I wince a little bit.



10. Tyler, The Creator - "Sandwiches" 2011  *This cat is wearing an outfit and playing a keyboard.
