Next is this Florence and the Machine video, I really like this one because it's really costume focused. I love it when people wear ridiculous things in videos, I'm a big fan of people who can really perform, and aren't afraid to take risks.
Also this is crazy...

I know what you mean about a band following you around after the first time you hear them. I didn't want to like the All American Rejects, but after the first time I heard them, I was hooked.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with you about people wearing cool costumes and being performers. Musicians are essentially performers when they decide to star in their own music videos and I think they need to accept that. As embaracing as it is to admite, I like Katie Perry's california girls partially because her music video is so fantastical and cheesy at the same time. K$sha is also an amazing performer when she performs live, she makes some interesting choices.
Chelsea, there is a documentary called Kill Your Idols that focuses on the rise Noise Music, coming from the punk era. You should check it out. Not to tell you that Karen O isn't cool, becuase I used to think she was amazing, and the music they put out is pretty rad, but her thoughts on music and the way she presents herself is kind of a put down. I was disapointed, but how she works artisticly is interesting. But nice video choices.
