Best Few

Sorry, but I can't pick just one. So I'm picking a few of the best, and a few of the worst. This post is the best videos.

First up, is this timeless classic. Are we not men?



Devo has a ton of great videos, but this is probably my favorite, even if it's not my favorite song by them. That has to be "The Day My Baby Gave Me A Surprise."

Here's my favorite Sonic Youth video, for Death Valley 69, from 1986. It kind of has the feel of a
snuff film, or low budget 80s faces of death crap.



Finally, here's a high budget video from the 90s. Also, all the videos I'm picking are fucked up in some way, like with violence or absinthe. Here's Nine Inch Nails with Perfect Drug.

Perfect Drug is a fucking cool video. I think it's funny how real absinthe is a sort of grassy green colour, but that kind of aqua green is totally absinthe green. Popular imagination contradicts fact and wins. Also contrary to popular belief (and no matter what the Czechs tell you) it's not hallucinogenic, although one could say it has a kind of psychedelic effect on the imagination.

Damn! I forgot about Perfect Drug - that is a really good video.
