Four Music Videos featuring Rocks

1. Beach House - "Forever Still" 2013  *I love that they made a 27 minute video, I think it can serve to help the fans feel like they are able to get to know the musicians. The Beatles did a great job of this with the Help! movie in 1965 and Kanye West's Runaway in 2010. This video is not nearly as entertaining as its predecessors, but, the music is great. The best rocks are during the "Irene" song which starts around 19 minutes.



2. Salt 'N Pepa - "Let's Talk About Sex" 1991  *The ladies are posted up by some rocks on a beach talking about sex.



3. The Roots - "Concerto Of The Desperado" 1996  *One of my favorite Roots songs.



4. Frankie Stew and Harvey Gunn - "1994" 2013  (UK HIP HOP)  *I think this song is pretty great, especially since they look so young. The beat is amazing and the vinyl crackle mostly works. I've watched this video a lot trying to sort out how this song is good and bad at the same time. This is one of those guys who follow you on Twitter and then unfollow you after you follow them back. Tricky.

Ten Music Videos featuring Bathtub Scenes

1. George Michael - "Freedom 90" 1990  *This is some iconic bathtub scene shit. The video also qualifies for Music Videos featuring Supermodels.



2. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis Featuring Fences - "Otherside Remix" 2001  *I have a hard time driving by the lake just past Snoqualmie ski resort on I-90 without mentioning this video. I am totally into lakes with tree stumps in them. Macklemore deserves to be famous (for much more than the stumps).



3. Atmosphere - "Shoulda Known" 2008  *This video leaves me with that "I'm not sure how much I really like Atmosphere" feeling. Plus, it's weird watching people freak out on drugs.



4. The Cars - "You Might Think" 1984  *This is one of the most memorable 1980s videos. I like when the band is floating on the soap in the bathtub, however, Ric Ocasek's invasive bathtub actions could probably be classified as stalking in 2013.



5. Fiona Apple - "Criminal" 1997  *It's funny that this is a song called "Criminal" and that the second scene is of a stuffed animal. Maybe its there to remind us that she was barely legal when this video was shot.



6. Beach House - "Wild" 2012  *Warning, this is not a sexy bathtub scene.



7. Morrissey - "Suedehead" 1988  *Morrissey does intellectual stuff when he is in the bathtub.



8. Toro Y Moi - "So Many Details" 2012  *One can't help but wonder if this is an ironic turtleneck scene or if he is actually into turtlenecks. I love this guy yet I slacked on buying tickets for his sold out February 27 show at the Crocodile.



9. The B52's - Love Shack" 1989  *There is a lot of quirky stuff going on in this video but the bathtub scene is around 1:55. I always thought this video had a Flintstones thing going.



10. Radiohead - "Just" 1995  *Dang, this guys bath made him really depressed.
