What Is And What Should Never Be

A classic by Led Zeppelin. This remastered recording is from the Complete BBS Sessions.

This is more image processing rather than animation, but whatever, it’s Led Zeppelin and your argument is invalid.

Mr Blue Sky

From The Electric Light Orchestra.

ELO was pretty popular when I was in junior high and high school. I liked them okay, but I was more a Rush and Aerosmith kinda guy, so I only heard a few tracks on the radio – and the radio overplayed the hell out of ’em. (I’m looking at you Don’t Bring Me Down)

Now days, Jeff Lynne (guitarist) has reformed the band as Jeff Lynn’s ELO and is currently on tour with Dhani Harrison, son of the late George Harrison. If you check out the Concert For George you’ll see some excellent music from Jeff Lynne and Dhani (who is a spitting image of his father) who show up in the band along the way.

A few years gone by, and a song they didn’t play once an hour, lets me get some enjoyment out of this track. Well, that and some well done and fun animation.

Three Second Memory

I love me some Goldfish. We have a bit of a collection of their music videos going on here at the crow’s nest. Bopping, fun dance tunes, and a chance to peer into the wild world of Goldfish. Nothing better.

Learn To Lose

Leave a comment Posted by on May 24, 2019

Another dance-able tune from Bakermat. Besides just being a fun music video, the premise is one we should all remember: Don’t be afraid to lose.

It’s the principle of risk – when you take a chance you may fail, but then again you may succeed. If you don’t risk then there is no possibility of success.

Anvil

Leave a comment Posted by on May 18, 2019

The tune is a hypnotic electronic down-beat cruiser by Lorn, aka Marcos Ortega.

The year 2100. In an effort to combat overpopulation, the postmortem social network “Anvil” is released.

The video carries a certain elegance in the flow of it. Possibly from the way that, using only three colors, the scenes are filled and complex and easily morph through the story.

Three Little Pigs – Green Jelly

Leave a comment Posted by on May 17, 2019

I’m an old-school metal-head and grew up on Sabbath, Zepp, Rush, and the like, and this tune is right there. That it is an adult satire of a children’s tale by a band that can laugh at itself turns it up to 11.

Rocketh on, verily.

Personal Jesus

Another animation test from Sam Fennah, and a worthy one for a day-after-FNMV music video. This one features Yeshua performing Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode.

More info in my previous posts of Fennah’s videos.

She Wants Me Dead

Take one homicidal cat given side-scroller game inspirations, add an atmosphere of smoky electro-swing, and this is what you get.

Song by Cazzette.

Take a Ride – Don Felder

Leave a comment Posted by on May 3, 2019

The vignette B-17 from the 1981 Heavy Metal movie. My favorite movie, and magazine (where the vignettes were adapted from). I posted a video with this song a few months back (So Beautiful and So Deadly) but this is the scene the song actually comes from. Wherever and whatever, posting a scene from HM is never out of place for a FNMV.

The Dark Side

There’s a heavy ‘Tron’ vibe running through this music video by the band Muse. Yeah, that makes for a good FNMV.
