1. David Lynch and Lykke Li - "I'm Waiting Here" 2013 It's like a mini road trip in the desert, but, you don't have to spend any money on gas.
2. Cyne - "Haze" 2005 I discovered Cyne earlier this year when they played Barboza. I was nine years late.
3. Blood Orange feat. Robert Owens - "Uncle ACE (Kindness remix)" 2014 Dev Hynes AKA Blood Orange brings some much needed 80's flavor to 2014.

5. Depeche Mode - "Everything Counts" 1983 Depeche Mode sounds fresh every time. They use a xylophone, a melodica, and a shawm in this magical video.

Ten Music Videos featuring Fringe
1. Salt 'N Pepa - "Expression" 1989 *This is one of the best Salt 'N Pepa songs, it is from their Blacks' Magic album.
2. Goldfrapp - "Ooh La La" 2005 *Fringed bell bottoms and a mirrored horse, pretty epic.
3. En Vogue - "Hold On" 1990 *It's En Vogue dude, they are the height of awesomeness.
4. Beastie Boys - "No Sleep Til Brooklyn" 1986 *Hard to believe that this song is 28 years old.
5. Poor Righteous Teachers - "Easy Star" 1991 *From their Pure Poverty album.
6. Ssion - "Luvvbazaar" 2013 *This guy really knows how to work the fringe.
7. Nancy Sinatra - "Bang Bang" 1966 *Such a downer, especially with the Kill Bill memories in there. She is killin' it with her 60's pink fringed dress superstardom though.
8. Counting Crows - "Mr. Jones" 1993 *Oh come on, you know it's a great song. It's just really, really overplayed.
9. Was Not Was - "Walk The Dinosaur" 1987 *This song was NEVER cool, but , it was definitely memorable. I love that we get to time warp back 40 million years in this music video. I'm 99% sure the keyboard player is wearing a fringe tie. You can really see it during his solo starting at 1:57.
10. Marley Marl feat. Craig G, Masta Ace, Kool G. Rap, and Big Daddy Kane - "The Symphony" 1988 *Juice Crew busts out the gold chains in the Old West.

8. After The Fire - "Der Kommissar" 1982 *She takes her lipstick off with her lipstick; it's either a cool trick or backwards scene.
9. Porter Ray - "Float" 2014 *This has a car driving backwards AND smoking in reverse. Porter Ray is part of the New Era of Seattle Hip Hop.
10. DJ Krush feat. Deborah Anderson - "Skin Against Skin" 1997 *This is definitely NOT the real music video, but, the song is great. "Skin Against Skin" is on DJ Krush's Milight album.
