MindCrime Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 The video for "Give It Away" makes me wanna puke. So does this picture.
The Seeker Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Radhi's idea, my second nomination: Let Forever Be -- the Chemical Brothers "The video for the track was directed by Michel Gondry, and utilized ground-breaking video and film effects in its depiction of a young woman's nightmares. The video, which drew much visual inspiration from Ray Davies' 1975 Granada TV production "Starmaker", received much media attention and became one of the most well-known videos from the band." (Mr W. Pedia)
Lucky Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 (edited) I see a lot of people nominate videos that somebody else already nominate. Could you perhaps post your nominations-so-far list Martin? (or whoever keeping the list) Here you go Viaene. It was getting confusing. Addicted To Love - Robert Palmer Beautiful Day - U2 Brothers in Arms - Dire Straits Buddy Holly - Weezer Cry - Godley & Creme Don´t Answer Me - Alan Parsons Project Don't Come Around Here No More - Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers Drop - Pharcyde Free As A Bird - John Lennon Gypsy - Fleetwood Mac Help! - The Beatles History Never Repeats - Split Enz Hurt - Johnny Cash Jailbreak - AC/DC Learn To Fly - Foo Fighters Let Forever Be - the Chemical Brothers Losing My Religion - REM (the video has been removed. D*mn you WMG!) Love Story - Taylor Swift Money For Nothing - Dire Straits Nightboat to Cairo - Madness Rabbit In Your Headlights - UNKLE Rockit - Herbie Hancock Sabotage - Beastie Boys Sledgehammer - Peter Gabriel Subterranean Homesick Blues - Bob Dylan Take on Me - A-Ha Things Have Changed - Bob Dylan Three Little Pigs - Green Jellÿ Thriller - Michael Jackson Tribute - Tenacious D Weapon of Choice - Fatboy Slim Window In The Skies - U2 You Can Call Me Al - Paul Simon You Might Think - The Cars Kenne, Shawna, and Lee, I'm confused. At this point, we have 3 nominations from either Shawna or MC, whichever is going to take "You Might Think". Lee, did you want to change something? I wasn't sure. don't count this as a final list, it has changes that will need to be made. I just wanted to put all the noms in one place for you. Edited January 23, 2009 by Guest the list is correct now ... up to this point. :)
Shawna Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 "You Might Think" is MC's. He nominated it way before I even thought of it. My two are "Gypsy" and "Love Story." And they are both represented.
skybluesky Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Losing My Religion - REM (the video has been removed. D*mn you WMG!) Video removing b*st*rds! Here's a new link~Losing My Religion
The Seeker Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Shawna, the video for Gypsy has been removed as well.
MindCrime Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Virtual Insanity - Jamiroquai (is this a nomination?) Kenne, Shawna, and Lee, I'm confused. At this point, we have 3 nominations from either Shawna or MC, whichever is going to take "You Might Think". Lee, did you want to change something? I wasn't sure. No it's not a nomination, I was saying I was going to nominate it if Shawna wanted to take "You Might Think".
MindCrime Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 And, Mindcrime, I owe you big time, Dude. I want a 10% share of all lunch money profits.

(Mr W. Pedia) I completely missed that post before!
Lucky Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 No it's not a nomination, I was saying I was going to nominate it if Shawna wanted to take "You Might Think". Thanks. I didn't really think so, I just wanted to clear up any confusion. I'll edit the list.
Lucky Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Shawna, the video for Gypsy has been removed as well. So here's another ... Gypsy
Dappled Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Before we vote it would be nice if someone put links to all the videos on one page. It's a lot of work I know but it would be appreciated
miamisammy29 Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 How about six percent? Times are tough, man.
MindCrime Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Before we vote it would be nice if someone put links to all the videos on one page. It's a lot of work I know but it would be appreciated I might work on a playlist later, depending if I'm free or not and that nobody else is doing it too.
Levis Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Shawnaaaaa pleeeeeez take 'You Might Think' we NEED Virtual Insanity in the noms!
MindCrime Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Shawnaaaaa pleeeeeez take 'You Might Think' we NEED Virtual Insanity in the noms! I'm thinking I might nominate Jamiroquai and take out Herbie Hancock's "Rockit"; the use of robots in a music video was amazing 25 years ago but by today's standards that video is pretty outdated and I doubt anybody remembers it anyways.
Viaene Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 My second nomination is: Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers Because I think it's a great and unique concept and The Chilis certainly should be nominated as they made a lot of great music videos. I'm sorry for the video site but I couldn't really find it on youtube. The video takes the form of a video game from the point of view of the player. There is a link between this video clip and the experience of relapsing into a drug addiction that Anthony describes in his book, Scar Tissue: "... The chase is always exciting. There are cops and bad guys and freaks and hookers. You're diving into a big insidious video game, but again, you're being tricked into thinking that you're doing something cool, since the price is always bigger than the payoff. You immediately give up your love and your light and your beauty, and you become a dark black hole in the universe, sucking up bad energy and not walking around putting a smile on someone's face..." Lots of more info and explanation of all symbols inside the video on Wikipedia Also, I'd like to apologise to Radiohead for not nominating them.
Shawna Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 I will totally take "You Might Think" if MC is giving it up. Did I miss that part?
Levis Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Yessssss!! I wonder if I can let Shawna take the Cars, so I can nominate Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai
MindCrime Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 I will totally take "You Might Think" if MC is giving it up. Did I miss that part? Coolness ! You can use part of the facts I said for the bio if it makes the T10. My second nomination is: Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers Because I think it's a great and unique concept and The Chilis certainly should be nominated as they made a lot of great music videos. I'm sorry for the video site but I couldn't really find it on youtube. Coolness again ! Also, I'd like to apologise to Radiohead for not nominating them. My favorite videos of theirs are Paranoid Android & Fake Plastic Trees.
Farin Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Posted January 23, 2009 My favorite videos of theirs are Paranoid Android & Fake Plastic Trees. ...and Karma Police and Just and No Surprises and...
MindCrime Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 Karma Police... meh. It's just of Thom sitting in a car, nothing special from what I've seen, at least compared to their other videos. I also like some of Beck's and White Stripe's videos, did they get nominated?
Farin Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Posted January 23, 2009 Karma Police... meh. It's just of Thom sitting in a car, nothing special from what I've seen, at least compared to their other videos. the special thing (from my viewpoint) is here, that the viewer takes the place of the driver in said car, while Thom is lazily sitting as a passenger, not even singing the whole song, just the lines "this is what you get when you mess with us" while pursuing that poor fellow ...only to abandon us himself in the time of the biggest need ... I like it I also like some of Beck's and White Stripe's videos, did they get nominated? me too and nope
