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 Great Non-Music Videos

1. Ten Hundred - "Reincarnated" 2014  It's great to see P Smoov working so hard for his art. I also love how well he and his lady collaborate on her fashion website, The Damsel In The Dress.




2. Bob Burnquist - "Dreamland" 2013  It's really too bad the music sucks because this is a rad video. Shoulda went with Wu-Tang.




3. Hangin Tuff! Episode #4 Featuring La Luz - 2014  Bobbi Rich kills it with her Hangin Tuff series and La Luz are some of Seattle's most talented and interesting musicians.




4. 7 Slaps In The Sack Episode 1: Gifted Gab 2014   It's great seeing people put their ideas into action, like Miss Casey Carter, Gifted Gab, and Carrick Wenke.




5. The Sand Animation of Kseniya Simonova from Ukraine's Got Talent 2009  Hats off to this lady for getting way outside of the sandbox with her art.




6. MF Doom Lecture from Madrid - 2011  One hour and 39 minutes of Doom!




7. DJ Shadow + Quannum MCs Live on Radio 1 Breezeblock 2003  I have this recorded to minidisc if anyone needs to borrow it. One of the founding members of Quannum Projects, DJ Shadow, will be here in Seattle on October 8 with Cut Chemist to play the Renegades of Rhythm Tour at The Neptune Theater. It's the same night as our ReignCity Yasiin Bey/ Mos Def show at The Showbox. What a rad dilemma.




8. Flying Lotus - "The Birth Of Captain Murphy" 2014  There is currently a petition circling to get the birth of Flying Lotus' alter-ego turned into a series.




9. Drunk History - "Sylvia Robinson Creates A Rap Group" 2014  A teaser for the best Drunk History ever about the making of "Rapper's Delight."




10. Inside Bjork 2003  She's got a lot of "quirk." I will hopefully be attending her Biophilia Tour November 1 at The Neptune Theater.

Ten Music Videos featuring Dancing or Walking On A Road

A YouTube playlist of these and other street walking videos can be found here. #YouTubeNchill


1. David Byrne and St. Vincent - "Who" 2012  I love people that get weird.



2. David Bowie and Mick Jagger - "Dancing In The Street" 1985  It would have been such a let down if they never actually danced in the street in this video.



3. Johnny Kemp - "Just Got Paid" 1988  This guy was not that memorable, it is a pretty good eighties song though.



4. Tevin Campbell - "Round And Round" 1990  This song was produced by Prince. This is one of the few videos with Prince in it that you can watch on YouTube...but they took the sound away.



5. Laura Mvula - "Green Garden" 2013  In this video, a bunch of well dressed people go on a dancing adventure. The song is pretty good too.



6. Fliptrix - "Circulated Stanzas" 2013  This British rapper guy has tons of videos, in this one he does a lot of rap/dance/walking. There are also a lot of moss shots, UK moss looks a lot like Washington moss. I don't love his music but I appreciate his passion.



7. Raekwon - "Ice Cream" 1995  Ice cream as a metaphor for ladies.



8. La Luz - "Call Me In The Day" 2013  This is a beautiful video. This is a Seattle ladies band whose video is unavailable to put on here but definitely watch it. 



9. Beastie Boys - "Sure Shot" 1994  This may actually be the driveway for a casino, but, they are definitely dancing in it.



10. Ghostpoet - "Survive It" 2011  There is a lot of walking in this video, plus, there are monsters.
