Ten More Music Videos with Slow Motion Scenes

1. Kaytranada - "Holy Hole Inna Donut" 2013  Kaytranada will be performing at Decibel Festival's Resident Advisor Showcase on September 24 on the third floor of the EMP Museum. I'm pretty sure his live show isn't this sporty, but I will be sure to let you know.




2. FKA x inc. - "FKA x inc." 2014  She is a total badass. Still can't decide on the FKA Twigs vs. Flying Lotus + Thundercat dilemma on November 18 in Seattle.




3. Sylvan Esso - "Coffee" 2014  I love this song but I still cringe a little when he says "my baby does the hanky panky."




4. How To Dress Well - "And It Was You" 2012  I'm pretty sure this video is about people worshipping a guy who rides a segway?




5. Ella Eyre - "Deeper" 2013  Slow motion dance scenes with fans.




6. Fractures - "Twisted" 2013  (Australia) These guys make great songs, but, they're all total downers.




7. Majid Jordan - "A Place Like This" 2014  This lady keeps getting run into like the chick in Dr. Dre + Snoop Dogg's "Nothin' But A G Thing" (at 3:30), Dre did it better. This guy sounds like he wants to be all Weeknd-y.




8. Phantogram - "When I'm Small" 2011  This is an example of how hair tossing can be a dance move.




9. Method Man + Redman - "Y.O.U." 1999  So excited for our Method Man + Redman show at The Showbox on November 3.




10. Atmosphere - "Bitter" 2014  Slow-motion snowball fights are some Minnesota shit? Props to Atmosphere for being on top of their game.



The beginning of this Atmosphere song reminds me of "Fuck Regrets" by Datkid and Dee Green. No slow-motion in this video, but, they are from Bristol, which is fucking awesome.

Ten Music Videos featuring Dolls

1. Tyler, The Creator - "VCR" 2010  *This is exactly what one should expect Tyler would do with a doll.



2. Strange U - "Plastique" 2011  (UK HIP HOP)  *Whoa, this video is awesome. The song is about how everything is made of plastic now, even people.



3. Hole - "Doll Parts" 1994  *I liked Courtney Love so much more when she looked like herself. This song and most of the Live Through This album are still great.

BEFORE:

AFTER:



4. Mariah Carey feat. Nicki Minaj - "Up Out My Face" 2010  *I'm pretty embarrassed that I like this song. When I first heard this Nicki was still a novelty, I had not heard her ridiculous (in a bad way) Pink Friday album that came as a huge disappointment after some of her collaborations in which her verses outshone the main artist. My affection for Nicki is in the past.



5. Madvillain - "Strange Ways" (Song 2004 / Video 2011)  *This is from the 2011 Stones Throw video contest, I love the mini records in the mini studio.



6. Mayer Hawthorne - "One Track Mind" 2010  *This video is very much like the 2007 Ryan Gosling movie Lars and the Real Girl.



7. inc. - "Black Wings" 2013  *The guy who is singing sounds like Brett from Flight of the Conchords, but, this guy is serious. To be clear, I think the Flight of the Conchords guys are hilarious. Apart from the weird vocal style, I think the rest of this song is pretty interesting. This video also has chains, fire, chickens, a goat, and a close-up of a horse's nose.



8. Jane's Addiction - "Classic Girl" 1990  *This video seems like drugs.



9. Esthero - "Never Gonna Let You Go" 2012  *I thought Esthero was cool because of the song she did with DJ Krush called "Final Home",  (I don't think the linked video is the official music video but still great) this song is not nearly as cool as that song. I probably wouldn't ever listen to this song again, but, it is better than a lot of other music.



10. Lyrics Born - "I Like It, I Love It" 2008  *I feel like this could have a record setting number of costume changes for an underground Hip Hop video. Lyrics Born and the rest of the Quannum crew put on a great show. I don't find myself listening to their music that much anymore, but I still think they are great.
