Dresden Dolls + Panic! At the Disco

For Stay-C + Zach. ;) The viddy's a lil' shakey, but this is the best one I could find.

Videos make the world go round (Part 2)

For those of you on the fence as to whether or not to go see the Opie & Anthony Travelling Virus tour, here's some clips of all the confirmed comics that'll be there. I've helpfully buried all the least funny ones in the middle, in the hopes that you don't notice them as much:

A word of caution: while it should be obvious that you shouldn't be watching videos at work anyway, these people are all rather filthy (yes, even Bob Saget) and you probably don't want to be watching any of these within earshot of your parents. Unless your parents talk like me, in which case have at it.

Videos make the world go round

I figured, what with all the neat music videos that have been popping up on Youtube, it would be nice to have one centralized area for all the neat ones. As such, here are some of the ones I rather liked:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8ekaScs-4k Apples in Stereo - Same Old Drag

Just the band miming out the vocals and all their instruments while driving around a city. Simplistic, yet rather funny.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tK3Ce9md96g Decemberists - Sixteen Military Wives

A fantastic video. I normally get annoyed by overtly political music, because frankly, it's rarely done all that well, but Colin Meloy is so damn smug and over the top in the video I can't help but love him.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv5zWaTEVkI OK Go - Here It Goes Again

I'm pretty sure MLE posted this on her blog, and that's how I found out about it, so it may be somewhat redundant putting it here. Still, I wanted them all in one easily accessible locale, so there you go. Treadmills. Dancing. Enjoy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjNLAG6bKno Scissor Sisters - She's My Man

In a similar vein to OK Go, a domestic squabble all done in one take, complete with Matrix-style maneuverings.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zc5rYNjUubQ Dresden Dolls - Girl Anachronism

Amanda Palmer going crazy. I'm continually amazed at how good the Dresden Dolls can be with a grand total of two band members, neither of which even plays guitar.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpvqU2cmK8I&mode=related&search= New Pornographers - Use It

Not the best video here, I'm including it because a) I really like the New Pornographers, and b) it has David Cross in the video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiE1d96oe3w Nine Inch Nails - Survivalism

The big single off their new album, out this week. Good stuff.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCS4e_NgGew Depeche Mode - Precious

On an album that's notably one of their loudest and most abrasive (perhaps that's why I love it so much), this just slipped in as one of their most touching and poetic songs. A really nice and fitting video too, that complements the song well.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPUxC4lra-M Mindless Self Indulgence - Shut Me Up

This isn't the greatest possible video quality, and it's had the curses removed for TV, but it's the best I could find on a quick Youtube search. A really weird and funny video all the same, done by Jhonen Vasquez of Invader ZIM and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac fame.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=jU6iP0WLsU8 Marilyn Manson - This is Halloween

Manson's cover for the recent re-release of The Nightmare Before Christmas, overlaid over the movie itself.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKKRD4ENE7c Grindhouse - Thanksgiving trailer

This isn't a video, but if you haven't seen Grindhouse yet (and going by the ticket sales, it seems likely that none of you have), this is one of the fake trailers for the film, and is my personal favorite of the four trailers. Which is a lucky thing, because it's the only one of the trailers that's available on Youtube in a version that's not such poor quality that it's nearly unwatchable.

Now it is upon all of you to find more videos to add to this stockpile. Hop to it, yo. Yo diggety. Diggety dawgs.

UPDATE: Here's another pile of videos to help ensure none of us ever gets any work done. I've helpfully alphabetized them for added helpfulness. And yes, there are a couple of videos in here that aren't that good, but are included here because I really like the songs in them. Tough titty.
