A monthly post dedicated to (what I think are) great music videos. When I was a kid, music videos were important, or at least they seemed to be a more sacred thread in the cultural fabric. Whole TV networks were dedicated to music videos, and even the TV networks that weren’t seemed have at least one weekly show dedicated them. It’s odd that in this day and age where videos with music in them are all the rage and are creating scrolling zombies out of our mobile phone-equipped selves, traditional music videos don’t really get mentioned too often.
This month’s theme is artist names featuring abbreviations.
FKA twigs – Eusexua
It kind of made me think that almost every movie in the late 80’s/early 90’s featured folks in some job in a big corporate office that made them miserable. Great concept, great execution, great choreography, and an interesting future prog R&B meets Eurodance with a dash of Björk.
A$AP Rocky – Tailor Swif
This video is bonkers. There’s so much happening, and all those things happening are from some surrealist fever dream. It was also filmed in Ukraine!
