We haven't had one of these topics in a while, have we?

Photograph, Nickelback
Wake Me Up When September Ends, Green Day (the cut outside the song, when the dude signs up for the army, is a little overkill)
Someday, Nickelback
Nuisance, John Reuben and Matt Thiessen
Be My Escape, Relient K (Matt (same as above Matt) looks so funny in this one)
Move, John Reuben (yay cheerleader J Reu!)
Doin, John Reuben
Dear Slim (part two), KJ-52
The Seduction, He is Legend
Shake it Off, Mariah Carey
Beverly Hills, Weezer (too cool how they invited people to hang out on the Playboy Mansion's front yard!)

I'm probably forgetting some, so don't mind me replying a bit.

And even though it probably doesn't count, You are Good by John Tesh! Only because of what he does behind the choir conductor. I don't know if there's a way I could get it on the internet, but it's good.

I need a DVD player and a video recorder...:\

Travis - Sing
Travis - Love Will Come Through
Travis - Flowers in the Window

When I come to think of it, I love all of Travis's music videos.

"Travis". Dude, I've never heard of him.

Well, I've heard of Travis Kvapil (don't ask), but I don't think he sings...
(NASCAR watchers would get that)

Learn to Fly -- Foo Fighters
Flowers on the Wall -- Eric Heatherly
Independence Day -- Martina McBride
1985 -- Bowling for Soup (what? I'm a child of the 80s

)
Clint Eastwood -- Gorillaz
Pretty Fly for a White Guy -- The Offspring
World on Fire -- Sarah McLachlan
Weapon of Choice -- Fatboy Slim
Fight for your Right to Party -- The Beastie Boys
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun -- Cyndi Lauper
Cowboy Take Me Away -- The Dixie Chicks
Breaking the Habit -- Linkin Park

Given that most of those are moderately (or very) old songs (I don't listen to country anymore), you can probably figure out it's been awhile since I've watched music videos. I'm still trying to figure out where people see them anymore. They certainly aren't showing on VH1, MTV, or MTV2.

Or if they are, it's for an hour at a random part of the day. Or perhaps I just have no luck. I miss music videos. I guess I'll just stick with the anime variety, like the Waka Laka (for Osaka) AMV that Scintilla did.

Ack, I haven't watched many videos as of late.

Least favourite? Well, make that least favourites. Both of Green Day's latest videos. "Wake Me Up When September Ends" is 7 minutes long for a 4 minute song, while "Jesus of Suburbia" is 14 minutes long for a 9 minute (which is already excessive) song. They're trying to make it all tell some story or dramatise something, and it's not working.

Favourite? "Doesn't Remind Me" from Audioslave. Coolest boxing kid ever. Some other random recent stuff include...

Mushaboom - Feist
Neighbourhood #3 (Power Out) - Arcade Fire
Neighbourhood #2 (Laïka) - Arcade Fire
Glósóli - Sigur Rós

All of which need more airplay. :P
