Juvenile Juvenile “Forget Me Soon”- film by Cherry Kino
13 FebOld style super 8 music video by Cherry Kino. Cherry Kino says, “All hand-processed. As well as regular footage I shot in Finland and the UK, the footage also includes flowers stuck directly to the film strip, and handmade rayograms.”
The Go! Team
7 FebA contemporary 6-person group from the UK whose sound was inspired by double dutch jump roping chants. Some serious energy, and videos very much of the retro persuasion. If that’s sounds like a good time to you, then let’s go!
Clubfeet – Everything You Wanted
17 JanI have great respect for simplicity. I admire this video for its use of just one feature of film editing to give us something to follow and anticipate the whole way through.
“The Triumph”/ “Can You Feel It” by The Jacksons
28 Dec
The video that accompanied the “Can You Feel It” single by The Jacksons was simply called “The Triumph”. It was directed by Bruce Gowers and Robert Abel and praised for its advanced use of special effects.
A little bonus:
There’s Gonna Be Some Rock n Roll This Winter
20 DecThis tune has become a staple amongst my former flatmates and I during this time of year. Actually, we sing it most of the year, but it gets a far better reception when we’re in the appropriate season. The video brings us back to the grand old days of glam rock, when psychedelic visuals were left to the costume department. A time when Roy Wood (who is better known for his days with the Electric Light Orchestra) looked like a Muppet from another dimension. And those lyrics are warm and fuzzy enough to bring holiday cheer to the biggest Grinches around. Like the bassist. Honestly, why is he being such a goon?
Oh well. At the very least, if you find yourself struggling to find the right politically correct greeting this season, I’d just go with telling folks to “Have a wonderful rock and roll winter, baby.”
