Matilda Tristram created this whimsical and playful stop-motion animated music video for band Omo. Playing with food never seemed so fun! I especially like the jump roping meatball. Omo – Oversized from LOAF on Vimeo. [Via]
Jackie Lay animates the lyrics of Tom Waits “Eggs and Sausage” from his 1975 album Nighthawks at the Diner. She captures the familiar typography of the neon signs and menus that one finds in nearly all diners regardless of regions. Watching this makes me nostalgic for the Village Inn diner in Anchorage, Alaska that my…
Two Weeks – Grizzly Bear from Gabe Askew on Vimeo. The gay indie rock band Grizzly Bear are darlings of the press and members of Radiohead consider them the best band in the world. While not your typical gay music, the band’s songs are layered and melodic and float in beautiful ways. It’s complex pop-rock…
Choo Choo La Rouge’s fun music video for their song “Here Come the Guns” from their upcoming album Black Clouds (available August 18, 2009) has a decidedly (intentional) low-fi production quality, but is most definitely hi-fi in enjoyment and concept. Greg Condon created this flip book style video using Post-It note pads, and I especially…
1. Some big headed pint size kids spit lyrical fire in the music video for “Where You At” by Australian hip hop group Astronomy Class and featuring Vida-Sunshyne & Kween G (KillaQueenz).

1. Here’s your weekend jump off jam: Kid Cudi’s catchy music video for “Make Her Say” featuring Kanye West (of course) and Common.
This deceptively lo-fi video is too spectacular to bury in my weekly Friday music video round up and the blogosphere is currently freaking out about its brilliance. It’s a crowd sourced music video for Hibi no Neiro (“Tone of Everyday”) by Japanese band Sour that uses webcam footage from fans which is then stitched together…
Meet Reyna, the Brooklyn-based chanteuse whose self-titled four-track EP debuted last Friday along with the music video for “Love Love Love,” shot entirely on the new iPhone 3GS by filmmakers Ari Kuschnir and Michael Tyburski. The video’s black and white imagery and Reyna’s gothic-meets-high-fashion ensemble (all Yohji Yamamoto, one of her favorite designers) sets the perfect tone for her haunting yet lush, pop-infused vocals and acoustic backing.

“Using both praxinoscopes and the technique of matching up the frame rate of the spinning record to that of the camera” without any digital assistance David Wilson at Blink created and directed this animated promo video for Morey McLaren, “We Got Time.” It’s just way too unique to bury in my weekly SUNfiltered music video round ups.
It’s Friday which means it’s time for another round up of five music videos I discovered from my Internet peregrinations.
1. Netizens were all atwitter about this unofficial music video for Death Cab for Cutie, “Little Bribes” created by Ross Ching.

Award-winning director Patrick Daughters and artist Marcel Dzama teamed up to create the music video for the Department of Eagles single “No One Does It Like You” from In Ear Park (2008), which premiered on March 24th at MoMA as part of their PopRally series. The night included a Q&A between Dzama and Daughters and…
Death Cab for Cutie’s 2008 album Narrow Stairs didn’t immediately grab me the way their last two discs did, but I’ve come to really like it. The one song I unequivocally loved on first listen was “Grapevine Fires,” a haunting, beautifully paced track about the effects of the 2007 Southern California wildfires. Death Cab’s Ben…
