Anytime son. 03-lmfao By child, well I do mean child. I'm 25, so these videos, save the Grandmaster (not sure how I remember it but for some reason I remember seeing it sometime), came out when I was in late elementary school or jr. high. I grew up with this music. that, and the whole grunge era will be part of my life forever.

Here's a video of Sufjan, not a music video, but him playing atop our (Cincinnati) Music Hall. He was in town last year for a show. Here's him covering the Innocence Mission "Lakes of Canada."

I showed that Reggie and the Full Effect video to some couchsurfers (whom's couch we were crashing) and we laughed our asses off! Great great stuff. Thanks Blah!

Anybody pick out any other artists in this video?

I see James Murphy and Chris Walla (I think it's him). There's got to be others. Was trying to look for Jenny Lewis, but didn't see her.

Black Star- RE:Definition (remember humming Talib's lyrics while walking thru Brooklyn "Brooklyn New York City, where they paint murals of Biggie.."

Lush has inspired me to think of more.

Quick story: In the fall of 1997, I took my first graduate school class. It was a Music Video class. Coms degrees are great. Anyway, I wrote my big paper on the following Queen video. 5 points to the first person to name the film reference.

Queen - Radio Ga Ga


And a few more that I've always liked.

Johnny Cash - Hurt (Most powerful video ever)


Superdrag - Sucked Out (always loved this one)


Chris Isaak - Wicked Game (What can I say, I was at an impressionable age when this came out)


Urge Overkill - Take A Walk (View Of The Rain) (Beautiful song originally on the No Alternative compilation, the video was made for the HIV/AIDs bennifit as well)
