Ten Great Stephan Gray Productions

***All these videos have appeared on this website before, this post is to showcase the mad skillz of Stephan Gray all in one place. This list also turned out to be a compilation of some of Seattle's most exciting artists. Thank you to Gray Matter Productions for making so many great videos.

1. Thadwick Tristen Trevor lll and Swan Coltrane - "Brain Champagne" 2011 *This is Tay Sean (of Kingdom Crumbs) and Thaddeus David, I hope they make music together again someday.

8. Katie Kate - "Uh...No" 2012 *She is "unabashedly filthy" for sure.

Don't Talk To The Cops! Live on KEXP

Don't Talk To The Cops! is a great band. Usually when I see them they are jumping up and down and having crazy amazing (no cryin') energy on the stage. This is one of my favorite DTTTC! songs, "Guess I'm Strange". Thanks for making music, I admire and respect you.

Don't Talk To The Cops! Album Release Party

This flyer is awesome. This album called Champions Of Breakfast is being released with actual cereal. From Don't Talk To The Cops! twitter: "To be 100% clear...our new cd is packaged in a cereal box w/ actual cereal and a prize w/ a chance to win a free shirt! Get it at our show!" What a rad idea. These days interesting promos are what get people to pay attention and they are killin' it.

They even have their own burger at Lil' Woody's called the Champions Of Breakfast burger that comes with, well, maybe just watch and see:

Ten Music Videos featuring Color-Morphing People

1. Fiona Apple - "Sleep To Dream" 1996 *This beat is amazing.

2. Don't Talk To The Cops! "Laos! Laos! Laos! Laos!" 2012 (SEATTLE) *This video stars the coolest lady in Seattle. This band puts on an incredible show.

3. Deltron 3030 - "Mastermind" 2000 *This is the song that inspired this category.

4. Das Racist - "Rainbow In The Dark" 2009 *Kool A.D. is naked for a lot of this video, his manhood is covered by a boombox though.

5. Earth, Wind, And Fire - "Let's Groove" 1981 *Contrary to unpopular belief, they are not saying "hecka smooth" in this song.

6. Phil Collins - "In The Air Tonight" 1981 *Phil Collins was cool. If he wasn't, Members Only jackets might not have been remembered so fondly.

7. Madlib - "Falling" from the Dudley Perkins album A Lil' Light (Instrumentals) (2003 Song / 2011 Video) *This song is rad.

8. Beastie Boys - "So What'cha Want" 1992 *Legendary status.

9. Kool A.D. - "Eroika" 2013 *Kool A.D. takes us on another stony adventure. This video/song mentions Justin Bieber, Laura Palmer from Twin Peaks, Madonna, Al Qaeda, and Garfield. He also puts a bunch of weed in the video girl's mouth.
