Five Music Videos featuring Rotating Cameras

1. Prefuse 73 - "Perverted Undertone" 2003  *I love that this entire video takes place inside a car in a car wash. It might not be the official video but it is a great video. Prefuse 73 is playing at the Crocodile in Seattle on Saturday September 7 (2013). You can buy tickets for the show here.

One more Prefuse 73 song for the road.

Prefuse 73 - "Love You Bring" 2002

2. De La Soul - "Breakadawn" 1993  *Great song from the 1993 album Buhloone Mindstate.




3. Brandy - "I Wanna Be Down" 1994  *If you are looking for examples of 90's fashion, this is one of your resources.




4. The Fugees - "Just Happy To Be Me" 1998  *This is from the Sesame Street special Elmopalooza!




5. U2 - "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" 1987  *This is from the best era of U2, thank you to my mom and uncles for making me listen to this.

Five Music Videos featuring Red Curtains

1. Lovage - "Stroker Ace" 2001  *This song is from one of my favorite Dan The Automator projects called Nathaniel Merriweather presents Lovage: Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By. I would buy Lovage brand sweetened condensed milk if I ever saw it (and it was real) for sure.

2. Violent Femmes - "American Music" 1991  *Violent Femmes phases are generally pretty embarrassing. Mine was very brief.

3. The Roots - "The Next Movement" 1999  *This album came out when I was living in Park City, Utah and I distinctly remember the living room in which I first heard it. It was/is that good.

4. The Fugees - "Killing Me Softly" 1996  *This song is amazing in all of its versions.

5. Wang Chung - "Dance Hall Days" 1984  *This song came on at work today and I lost all focus on work and could only think about how great this song is. All three of these guys are wearing monochromatic outfits with their sweaters tucked in. I didn't even remember that this was a thing. Shout out to the customer and the coworker who love this song as much as I do.

Ten Music Videos featuring Helicopters

My collection of Helicopter Music Videos can also be found via YouTube playlist. #YouTubeNchill

1. Flying Lotus - "Until The Quiet Comes" 2012  * At 2:03 the song gets amazing, Flying Lotus and the filmmaker Kahlil Joseph are geniuses.




2. RUN-DMC - "It's Tricky" 1986  *They have a RUN-DMC helicopter; ballin.




3. Cold War Kids - "Hang Me Up To Dry" 2007  *This is one of the three Cold War Kids songs that I like.




4. Nelly Furtado - "Say It Right" 2006  *Sometimes, I need to remind myself that it is okay to like pop songs. She has her name on the helicopter and on the landing pad, straight ballin'.




5. 2Pac and Dr. Dre - "California Love" 1995  *2Pac and Dre get all Mad Max in this video.




6. Sade - "Cherish The Day" 1992  *When Sade is on a rooftop, it is easier to see her superpowers. She doesn't age, is always relaxed, makes great music, and she isn't afraid of heights.




7. The Fugees - "Ready Or Not" 1996  *This video is a mega-production.




8. New Order - "Blue Monday" 1983  *This song was covered by so many bands because it is fabulous.



9. Quelle Chris feat. Tanya Morgan, Fresh Daily, and Cavalier - "Greene Eyes" 2013  *The upside-down singing is a classic, but, isn't normally in music videos. This song is just alright, I think it would be better if the instrumental was more than just loops. The variations in the beat that do appear are the most interesting part of the song. At just under five minutes, the song feels too long because it gets boring. I feel like this guy is onto something and that he will get there soon.



10. Dr. Octagon - "Trees" 2006  *Kool Keith is on board to help us save the trees with his public service announcement music video.

Ten Music Videos featuring Motorcycles

1. Eve and Gwen Stefani - "Let Me Blow Your Mind" 2001  *I can't believe Gwen leaves her fabulous car in the intersection to ride on the back of a 4-Wheeler, I guess she can probably afford to get another one. Gwen and Eve are taking part in shenanigans.



2. James Blake - "Retrograde" 2013  *James Blake is always best when played loudly to better hear the intricacies of his music.



3. Patra feat. Yo-Yo - "Romantic Call" 1994   *2Pac is in this video! Also contains people riding illegally in convertibles, dogs, hanging laundry, bell-bottoms guy, and fierce dance moves.

4. Jody Watley - "Don't You Want Me?" 1987  *I love the sudden rainstorm, the choice of loverboy, and the innovative use of fans in this video.



5. Eddy Grant - "Electric Avenue" 1982  *The motorcycle is definitely one of the main characters in this video.



6. Santigold - "Disparate Youth" 2012   *This video makes me want to start a music video rating system and give this one top marks in every category.



7. The Knife - "Full Of Fire" 2013   *You may have heard of shock rappers (like Odd Future), this could be called a shock music video.



8. Aaliyah - "If Your Girl Only Knew" 1996   *I once saw Rahzel at a South Lake Tahoe casino do this song solo. I think this is one of her best songs.



9. The Fugees - "Fu-Gee-La" 1996  *This video and album cemented their classic status.



10. Gang Starr feat. Big Shug and Freddie Foxxx - "Militia" 1998  *This might be the only video in which I have seen one of those tall wicker chairs, plus, there is a ninja motorcycle chick that kicks Guru through a window.
