RENN LOVES MUSIC VIDEOS: COME TO DADDY, GOOGLE EXPERIMENT, AND MORE…

I've never been a big jungle/electronica fan (Or whichever one of modern electronic music's 15,000 subgenres this belongs to) but 'Come To Daddy' has to be one of the greatest music videos of all time. I said it when the song came out, and I stick to it to this day. Five and a bit minutes of concentrated awesome.

I 100% agree, and Windowlicker will show up one of these weeks for sure. I could do an entire article on Cunningham and his bizarre projects.

 

Anyone else have the moments to take a look at this? I'm hoping to feature a suggestion or two a week from readers, though my accumulated list of video is already massive.

Very interesting article. That damn Stepdad song has been in my head since last night. Also, the Chrome demo video was fascinating.

 

A feature on Cunningham would be awesome. I rewatched Rubber Johnny after reading your column, and got skeeved out anew.

 

As for future videos, I know little about what has been released recently, but nearly all of Gondry's and Spike Jonez' vid work is worth examining.

 

 

 

me too.  Just so horrifying on a visceral level.  Truly disturbing.

 

And with regards furture looks I seem to remember Tim Pope's videos were always entertaining (The Cure onces specifically).  While I can't actually listen to The Cure anymore I'd be interested in some ruminations on that.
 

 

Basement Jaxx's "Where's your head at?".

Some weird collective behind that if I'm not mistaken. They have a name like "Tractor" or something - ah, Traktor:

Also Rabbit in your Headlights and Be There from UNKLE's Psyence Fiction album.

Both creepy/interesting twilight zoney things:

The google stuff seems really cool and trippy.  I checked out the Wilderness one, and even without sound (I know that sort of defeats the purpose) on my work computer, it was a pretty neat nostalgic thing, I think especially for someone like me that has moved around a lot in life.  I'm waiting to call my folks and find out what the addresses of some of my earliest homes are.  Wasn't able to check out the one actually highlighted by the article yet though, as this work computer apparently doesn't have the graphics card for it.
