Nine Music Videos featuring Moving Machinery

1. Alicia Keys - "No One" 2007  *I don't get excited about Alicia Keys songs anymore, but, she is still an amazing artist.

2. Bjork - "All Is Full Of Love" 1999  *Robot Bjork is scary.

3. Chris Whitley - "Big Sky Country" 1991  *I listened to this on a road trip to Montana with my parents, it really is big sky country. The video is heroin chic, guns, tarot cards, bells, sped up bumper car scene, moving photographs, and oddly placed machine parts.

4. Dilated Peoples - "The Platform" 2000  *That is the coolest slot machine I have ever seen.

5. Joe Dirt - "Experiment" 2013  *Mediocre politically aware UK Hip Hop.

6. Pink Floyd - "Another Brick In The Wall" 1982  *It is a large conveyor belt of children.

7. Howard Jones - "No One Is To Blame" 1986  *Rad eighties slow jam.

8. Grizzly Bear - "Knife" 2007  *The machine that they have reminds me of that MouseTrap game. The song is meh.

9. Gorillaz - "19-2000" 2001  *If you don't listen carefully at all, it could sound like they say "unskinny bop" a few times in this song.

4. Alt-J (∆) - "Matilda" 2012  *Slow-motion face changing.

Ten More Music Videos featuring Special Effects

1. En Vogue - "Adventure" 1998  En Vogue does Sesame Street. They are teaching the kids to make up crazy stories that could never be true (in the nineties anyway).

2. Level 42 - "Something About You" 1986  This is one of those great eighties songs that I didn't know the artist until now.




3. Danny Brown - "Radio Song" 2012  There are tons of Danny Browns in this video. Even though he says some offensive shit sometimes, I still like him.




4. Bonobo - "Cirrus" 2013  This video starts off with some old footage and then develops into so much more.




5. Divine Styler - "Ain't Sayin' Nothin'" 1988  This video would have been a star in the rotating heads category, damn.

6. Bambu - "Lean" 2013  Usually people do their costume changes off-camera. He is one of the most likable dudes ever.

7. MC Lyte - "Cappucino" 1989  This is from before cappuccinos got huge.

8. Grizzly Bear - "Two Weeks" 2009  Their eyes are not blinking at the same time and they are blinking in slow motion, it is kind of freaking me out a little bit.

9. Wyclef Jean - "PJ's" 2002  This beat sounds the best when heard through real speakers.

10. Soundgarden - "Black Hole Sun" 1994  This video is kind of scary and painful, yet, I still like it.

1. Lighter Shade of Brown - "Hey DJ" 1994  *We get to see one of the Lighter Shade Of Brown guys shaving and getting ready to go walk around rapping with the other LSOB guy.

2. Quasimoto - "Shroomusic" 2005  *This is one of my favorite Quasimoto songs. "Trying to find a better way to cook Top Ramen, but there ain't one." -Lord Quas

3. J.Rocc - "Play This Also" 2011  *This song sounds like one long intro.

4. Jane's Addiction - "Been Caught Stealing" 1990  *This was the one Jane's Addiction video I remember seeing on MTV.

5. RZA - "Grits" 2003  *This was the song I overplayed off of RZA's The Birth Of A Prince album.

6. Joyo Velarde - "Take You Home" 2009  *The first lady of Quannum can bring so much to the songs she sings in. I feel like this song is almost where it could have been. She is rad.

*This is my favorite Joyo Velarde song. Lyrics Born feat. Joyo Velarde - "Love Me So Bad" 2003

 

 

7. Shannon - "Let The Music Play" 1983  *This song is a timeless classic, even though it sounds pretty eighties.

 

 

 

8. Illa J - "We Here" 2008  *Posthumously released J Dilla beats. This song is pretty good but it didn't make it on my Spotify list (combination truth and metaphor).

 

 

 

9. Grizzly Bear - "Gun Shy" 2013  *This video is pretty weird and great.

 

 

 

10. Sweet Tee - "On The Smooth Tip" 1988  *This video serves as a day in the life of an eighties rap lady.
