Kottarashky & the Rain Dogs - “Demoni”
Theodore Ushev used a gramophone and fifty vinyl records painted with oil, acrylics, and gel paint markers to create this music video for Kottarashky & the Rain Dogs’ Demoni. He joins the ranks of contemporaries like Eric Dyer and David Wilson, experimenting with pre-cinema optical devices. The video features bright visuals reminiscent of Joan Miró that playfully dance and loop to the music.
Bill Callahan - Heaven Help the Child
Indie survivor Bill Callahan recently covered “Heaven Help The Child,” a history-minded 1973 song from country-music outsider Mickey Newbury. And now Callahan’s version has a video, a black-and-white single-shot thing that transposes Callahan’s face with an image of a tree. The video itself is minimal, but more than anything, it’s an excuse to hear Callahan’s cover, which is triumphant.
Rye Rye - Boom, Boom
Geremy Jasper & Georgie Greville of LEGS imagine Rye Rye in a surrealist video game world for her new single "Boom, Boom". Multiple Rye Ryes dance, jump, fly, flip, sing and rhyme through collaged psychedelic game levels full of pyramids, flying carpets, laser shooting dolphins, hunks, UFOs, cubed clouds and dragons. In a visual style that pushes 90's Sega graphics 'Through the Looking Glass' "Boom Boom" pushes the hip hop video to mind warping dimensions.
Director: Geremy Jasper and Georgie Greville

New Year's End: A BioShock Short Film
Fans of the Bioshock video game series (like me!) are getting mighty excited about the upcoming release of Bioshock: Infinite later this year, so it’s no wonder we watch everything related to Bioshock that comes out on the interwebs in order to get our Rapture fix.
To tide us over until the new game is released, here’s an entertaining Bioshock themed short film, which deals with the events that took place in Rapture before the first game on that fateful New Years Eve, 1958.

Tenacious D - To Be The Best
Music video by Tenacious D performing To Be The Best.
Novelty-metal all-stars Tenacious D have been out of the game, as a duo anyway, since their 2006 movie The Pick Of Destiny failed brutally. They’re back with a new album now, and credit them for taking on that movie’s miserable performance in this, the first video from new LP Rize Of The Fenix. It’s probably best to think of “To Be The Best” as a drawn-out sketch rather than a music video. There’s precious little new music in it, but that’s part of the point. Also, cameos. Lots of cameos. Josh Groban’s cameo game is pretty magnificent.
