Elephant Gun - Beirut
Director: Alma Har'el
Very special new year wishes from me, full of mustachioed debauchery and set to a ukulele-accordian waltz.
See you in 2008!

Earth Intruders - Bjork
Director: Michel Ocelot
Yes I did program this video on the Wal-Mart network, why do you ask? Sometimes I like to sneak something truly wonderful in amongst the ads for toothpaste and razors. As a first taste of her new album Volta, I found this clip utterly entrancing, in both visuals and in message. And I can't tell you what it was like when she opened her show at Shoreline with this song, the first glimpse of her in her tin foil dress. Ball of light and energy indeed.

Down the Line - Jose Gonzalez
Director: Andreas Nilsson
I don't know that I would have expected a video about a lonely pig-man from Jose Gonzalez, but it totally works. Also, just in case you've thought the videos so far have been too cheerful...

Don't You Evah - Spoon
Director: Jeff Nichols
Spoon's Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga is one of the albums of the year. Keepon knows. And I boogie like Keepon every time I hear this song.

Det Snurrar I Min Skalle - Familjen
Director: Johan Soderberg
Fun with found footage!
Rough translation of the lyrics:
I made a fire for you
And now the whole forest is on fire
I know what you will say
And it feels like the first time
Come, We'll show them that it's us
But everyone already knew it
Out, Will you run away with me
Do you hear them singing

from the Guardian:
Instead, the feud is escalating into philosophy's equivalent of a prize fight between two former colleagues who are both among the showiest brawlers in the philosophy dojo. In one corner is McGinn, 57, West Hartlepool-born professor of philosophy at the University of Miami, and the self-styled hard man of philosophy book reviewing. In the other corner is Honderich, 74, Ontario-born Grote Professor Emeritus of the philosophy of mind and logic at University College London, and a man once described by fellow philosopher Roger Scruton as the "thinking man's unthinking man". They are using all the modern weapons at their disposal - blogs, emails, demands for compensation from the academic journal that published the original review, an online counter-review, and an online counter-counter-review.
