9-minutes musical short film on the famous song by Serge Gainsbourg, Variations sur Marilou, interpreted in 2006 by Alain Bashung (Label barclay).

Hot off the press and sure to be doing he rounds pretty quickly, this wonderful delight is from Chez Eddy director, Maxime Bruneel. If you are offended by illustrated breasticals and other such goodness then please consider this video NSFW.

Story of Genki

Around these parts David O’Reilly needs no introduction.

When David’s name is attached to a project anything can happen. Usually grotesque, sinister and wholly unholy, but always hilarious.

With his latest offering for Tim and Eric’s “Professor Genki’s Super Ethical Reality Climax”, he does not disappoint. Again it’s NSFW (and finishing of the recent NSFW posting trilogy). Normal service will now resume!

The Roots – “Tip The Scale”

In the buildup to the December release of the Roots’ concept album, undun, the legendary rap collective is putting out a video every Tuesday at 12:06, which mirrors the 12/6 release date of the LP. Today’s clip is for “Tip The Scale,” a gritty black-and-white clip where a lone figure patrols a bleak neighborhood, a motif the Roots are familiar with. Dice Raw guests and Clifton Bell directs.

Pearl And The Beard - 'The Lament Of Coronado Brown'

Sometimes, ambiguity is a good thing. The Brooklyn band Pearl and the Beard just released a beautiful music video for its song "The Lament of Coronado Brown" that adheres to that mantra by inviting multiple interpretations with both its visuals and lyrics.

The band, made up of guitarist Jeremy Styles and multi-instrumentalists Jocelyn Mackenzie and Emily Hope Price, just played a series of shows at CMJ and is currently touring Europe. Together, they make warmly inviting folk music with uplifting three-part harmonies.

The video for "The Lament of Coronado Brown" is a solemn, stately affair that mixes shots of the band with footage of a man trekking across a sandy beach, shovel in tow. He's looking for something, but what it is remains unclear. That's part of the video's power; instead of being told what to think, the viewer is dropped in the middle of the story and encouraged to come up with his or her own interpretation.

DYE – Fantasy

DYE – Fantasy by Jeremie Perin

Where to begin? You know what, I think this is one of those videos that you just have to experience!

It looks to me like the director, Jeremie Perin, was weened on a diet of Urotsukidōji and darkness that is required to conjure up such a delicious slice of evil.
Be warned, some scenes could be considered NSFW so make sure your screen is adequately shielded from prying eyes (and your mum).

Little Cars

A great action movie by Lilian Hardouineau

Tom Waits - "Satisfied"

Check out the video for "Satisfied" directed by Jesse Dylan from the new record Bad As Me.

Jesse Dylan knows a few things about dealing with difficult, enigmatic musical-genius types. He is, after all, the son of Bob Dylan, and he directed Method Man and Redman in their cinematic opus How High. For his latest effort, he’s helmed the bare-bones video for Tom Waits’s junkyard-blues howler “Satisfied.” In the clip, Dylan films Waits in high-contrast black-and-white as he does his deranged-preacher impression and pulls off impressive old-man angry-rooster dance moves in flickering backyard light.

Die Antwoord – “Fok Julle Naaiers”

South African rave-rap terrorists Die Antwoord, who became global viral sensations last year and who somehow turned that into an Interscope contract, have parted ways with their major label, claiming that Interscope was doing its best to turn them into something more pop-friendly. Instead, they’re planning to self-release the new album TEN$ION on their own label Zef Recordz. And with that announcement, they’ve given us a new video called “Fok Julle Naaiers,” a title that translates to “Fuck You All.” The black-and-white clip doesn’t have the same eyeball-exploding weirdness that the group’s earlier videos brought, but not a lot would. Instead, the black-and-white video mostly features bare-chested dudes, many of them with bad tattoos and firearms, staring down the camera. There’s also a whole lot of scorpion/tarantula/butterfly/worm action.

With the new video, they’ve also uploaded a new clip in which rat-mustached frontman Ninja explains that they aren’t homophobic and that the elaborately latex-masked DJ Hi-Tek (at least, I hope that’s a mask) is gay.

The Roots - "Make My"

In director Clifton Bell‘s video for the Roots’ new single “Make My,” one guy gets shot a whole fuckload of times, and that’s pretty much the only thing that happens. The slow-motion black-and-white clip is just two minutes long, about half the length of the song, and it excises guest rapper Big K.R.I.T.’s verse entirely. The Roots don’t appear. According to the YouTube page, it’s one of four planned videos for the band’s new concept album undun.

Ph.Diddy Is One Super Fly Doctoral Candidate

"The Ph.Diddy is on the scene" - Animation of life in the biotech lab

I suspect that Alex’s grad school life (remember, the owner of this site is a fully credentialed mad scientist) was like this. Except for the female groupies.

This video was produced as a promotional spot for the firm Invitrogen.

Real Estate - Its Real

“It’s Real” is one of Real Estate’s best tracks from Album Of The Week album Days, so it’s fitting that the song’s equally great video maintains the same cheery, upbeat attitude. Oh, and there are like, a dozen dogs in the video, hanging out and starring in home movies. Several are wearing bowties. Bowties! This video is definitely the logical counterpoint to Best Coast’s “Crazy For You” video, although I think they blew an opportunity to include those bumper stickers that say “I [HEART] My [Picture Of Dog Breed].” Maybe next time. Directed by Weird Days.
