Videos of the Week

OK, another Sunday, another look back at a few videos that have been running though my brain lately.

First up, here's the new video from Molice for "Ms. Panic":



Check out my full Doctor Ray album review for more from those guys.

OK, hit the jump for more!



Beat Crusaders "Phantom Planet"


You may have just seen this one on my recent profile update, but I thought it was worth pointing this one out, just in case. Beat Crusaders used the level design feature of the video game Little Big Planet to made a video! Obviously it's not all directly from the game, but it's a pretty cool idea nonetheless.

Nobukazu Takemura "Sign"


Here's a really arty/strange/hypnotic video from Nobukazu Takemura. I can't believe I haven't profiled him yet! That's something I'll have to fix in the very near future.

Auranoisazzzz


In a very similar vein, here's a short animation for the glitchy experimental group Auranoisazzzz. I haven't really heard much from them, so if anyone has a lead on more info, I'd love to hear it!

Maximum the Hormone "Bikini Sports Ponchin"


Ran across this one again recently. It's one of the most crazy videos I can think of, but then would you expect any less from Maximum the Hormone?

Devo "Don't Shoot (I'm A Man)"


In the non-Japanese category, here's the brand new Devo video. I really cannot wait for their new album to finally be released.

Hikashu "Pike"


And speaking of classic arty electro new-wave, here's a classic from Hikashu. This song when on to inspire The Ventures to do a faster, instrumental surf-rock version, and that inspired Polysics to do their own version of the Ventures' version with the original lyrics put back in. Got it?

OK, that's all for this week. Got any interesting videos to share? Let the world know in the comments!
