Love or hate the Placebo video for new single For What It’s Worth?

 

placebo2I personally love the new video, but then I am a Placebo fan. It’s nice to see things kept simple; we get to see the band looking as cool as ever. There is some flash imagary to provoke thought (as you can see in the article photograph). The single is taken from the album Battle For The Sun. Some are saying it is not Placebo at their best and although this is probably true, it has a nice beat to it. 

The single is due for release in June.

Tobias Stretch’s Radiohead award-winning video

radioheadI love Tobias’ Radiohead In Rainbows video he entered in to the Aniboom Animation Competiton, called Weird Fishes. It so captures the feeling of the track perfectly; a brilliant video. Although I was slightly freaked out by it, the fish are scary. How a man comes up with the idea for this, God only knows. Then again Tobias is the new God of music video animation.

Top video of 2008 was, oh no, it’s her again, help!

7thingsAccording to comedy.com, by December in 2008 Miley Cyrus was leading the field by a long way with 50 million views on YouTube of her video for 7 Things. I personally found the song annoying and it gave me a headache, but obviously someone liked this Hannah Montana star screaming down the mic at them about things she hates about someone else.

Well if you are one of ‘them’ you can stil catch the video at the great video archive in the sky.
