When a great song is paired with a music video it becomes an entirely new artistic medium. So every month we will post our favorite music videos that are the perfect confluence of music and film.
OK Go – Here It Goes Again
This music video featuring OK Go doing choreography on treadmills is one of the defining images associated with the band.
The White Stripes Fell in Love with a Girl
One of the most creative music videos ever created with Meg and Jack White turned into legos.
Justice D.A.N.C.E.
Graphic art is brought to life in this video with animation and Justice’s electro pop.
Regina Spektor – Us
This is one of the most adorable music videos with one of the cutest uses of stop animation
Vampire Weekend – Giving Up the Gun
This music video features a redheaded tennis player versus Joe Jonas, Jake Gylenhaal and a samurai with Lil John as a coach. Need I say more to get you to watch?
So what are your opinions? Did we miss your favorite video and you’d like to see it posted next month? Comment and let us know.
