Review and news hub for movies, music and video games

Welcome back to Music Video Corner with another group of music videos to check out from the comfort of your computer chair.

This time, you can check out recent vids from Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Dirty Projectors, Band of Skulls, Oh No Ono, M. Ward and Franz Ferdinand. And the classic video this outing comes from none other than the Beastie Boys. Check them out after the break.

Oh No Ono – “Swim”

Disturbing, yet the sentiment should ring true with almost any post-pubescent male out there.

Dirty Projectors – “Stillness Is the Move”

Franz Ferdinand – “Can’t Stop Feeling”

My reaction to the latest Franz album was pretty lukewarm, but these guys can usually be counted on for an entertaining video. This one’s no exception, making good use of low-budget video tricks and (I assume) intentionally exaggerated “actions.”

Yeah Yeah Yeahs – “Heads Will Roll”

Band of Skulls – “I Know What I Am”

Proof that you don’t need interesting lyrics to deliver a g’dole f’shunned rock song. And the rock video clichés follow suit.

M. Ward – “Rave On”

Portland’s Ward takes on Buddy Holly. I doubt Clay-mation will ever get played out in music videos.

And the classic:

Beastie Boys – “Body Movin’”

Not only was this Fatboy Slim remix superior to the version originally released on Hello Nasty, but it also remains one of the two or three coolest videos ever released by the Beasties, and those guys are music video royalty. Funny as hell, too.
