My favorite music vids
I mentioned over the summer the whys and wherefores as to how i really got into groups like The Jam, Blondie, David Bowie etc .....
The tracks below are for the most part a few years old.
However, since i'm still a bit of a newbie to this blogging malarky i wanted to start off by putting up music tracks that i really luurrrve (just to indulge myself).
This idea then changed once i'd figured out how to use Youtube as a way of stocking my videos - this is potentially frought with trouble given their policy on copyrighted stuff, so i don't know how long i will have before i take all of this stuff down or be banned :(
Click on a photo and you should be sped off to an old page where you can read bits of my year whilst listening to / watching a music vid .... the loading times my take a while, but trust me, the links do work, i've just checked them out.
Just to reiterate -click on a photo.
The Raconteurs – Steady as she goes
I love the guitars, the harmony .. the discovery of the video made me a very happy chappy indeed !
Dandy Warhols – Bohemian like you
I loved this track the first time i heard it with it's meaty cranky guitars. The video obviously converted me to the cause ;@)
Massive Attack – Inertia creeps
I've always been a big fan of Massive since the early nineties ... The lyrics are usually very dark but i find that there's something there that reminds of the Kinks (that's just me).
Franz Ferdinand – Dark of the Matinée
FRanz Ferdinand was the soundtrack to my little week off at the start of the year when i went to Marseille as i was just setting out on the path to blogging.
Dandy Warhols – Boys Better
The Dandys again - i'm hooked !
Black eyed peas – don’t funk with my heart
The Peas, Fergie in that dress - the video must be about two or three years old i guess but i just don't watch MTV and i loved the vid when it came on TV late one night
Les Wampas – Où sont les femmes ?
These guys are bonkers : they've taken a 70's disco song by Patrick Juvet, ramped it right up with clanky guitars and added in a bunch of Indian girls doing traditional indian dancing - completely mad.
Philippe Katerine – Luxour j’adore
Another french nutcase who took the charts by storm this year - some kind of hybrid, raverlite thing (good riff) but with banal yet very funny lyrics ... i'm not doing it justice. I love the video as the protagonist has evidently filmed the video in a rural, backwater, french hamlet where the inhabitants have undoubtedly never ever seen the likes of this 'alien' ... a truly crazy video ... a treat.
Black eyed peas – Pump it
The peas again. The Sims version of the video - i just dig that twangin' guitar entrée lifted from Pulp fiction.
Gorillaz – Clint Eastwood
The good old skankin' Gorrilaz : I'm happy !!
Like any good compilation there are two special bonus tracks !!
;@)
Anais - Mon coeur, mon amour.
Lilly Allen - Smile

Thank you for sharing. I've just listened to the whole thing. (je me suis fait la totale.) and dicovered some cool stuff. I don't know how to post a You-tube thingy on my blog yet. I'll try to figure it out, it's good fun.
:)
There a quite a few good sites for embedding music - i'll make a list of the ones i use.
I've got to be more disciplined this year with the music vids as they slow down page opening i think.
This post will be dissapearing from time to time - i seem to have problems with some of the coding ...
