Wood – The Dead Pirates

The Rifle’s Spiral – The Shins

Mr. FEAR – SIAMÉS

 

A fine film for a Friday Night Music Video. This slick track has echos of Bowie that well compliments animation that has echos of Moebius.

It is a stylish tale of synergy – rather extreme synergy. The youtube comments offer some quite imaginative hypotheses on the story’s characters and meaning, but I’ll leave it for you to decide that for yourself. Otherwise, just enjoy a great music video.

Harmonic Voltage – Animusic

Pogo Sticks – Animusic 2

I’ve been an Animusic fan since they released their first compilation in 2001. I wore out the vhs tape and almost a second one before finally getting a dvd. Animusic 2 raised the bar even further. This track is a great example of just how enjoyable Animusic is.

Unfortunately it looks like Animusic 3 won’t get made, despite a funded Kickstarter a few years back. We can only hope someone picks it up.

Check out the original Pipe Dream video.

Leave It – Yes

While not exactly animation, it is pretty cutting-edge image processing for 1984 – and it is by one of my all-time favorite bands – and it is a Friday night music video – and this… never mind, enjoy a great song by one of the great bands.

You Gotta Believe

An excellent video to re-start the Friday night music video tradition! Fun animation and image manipulation set to a snappy, classic, tune. This one’s going into the Shiny Things file.

Animated by Nina Paley and sung by the one and only Pointer Sisters.
