Work It Out - Rjd2
Director: Joey Garfield
I wanted to end this list with a burst of pure unadulterated joy. Bill Shannon has a degenerative hip condition that means his legs can't fully support his weight, so he's devised another method of getting around. You'll just have to watch.
And that is well and truly it for 2007. I know this first month of 2008 has kind of universally sucked, but I truly believe there are good things yet ahead. I think the universe is just waiting for the Year of the Rat...

What's A Girl To Do? - Bat For Lashes
Director: Dougal Wilson
Sparkly tights + blue eyeshadow + midnight bike riding = love. I can see the edits and I don't even care.

Watch My Feet - Dude 'N Nem
Director: Morocco Vaughn
I'd like to think I looked this cool when I danced the Cabbage Patch to Push It back in junior high, but I really didn't. This video also reminds me that I really need to get back to Chicago this year.

Video Killed The Radio Star - The Wrong Trousers
Director: Smileypen
I've got a particularly bad case of the Sunday Night Blues tonight, but then I watch this video and my heart bursts with joy. Next time I'm anywhere near Balboa Park in San Diego I'm totally seeking these kids out.

Top Ranking - Blonde Redhead
Director: Mike Mills
It was Lori who first turned me on to the fact that Mike Mills had directed quickie videos for several tracks on Blonde Redhead's marvelous 23 album, and though they're all pretty awesome this one is my favorite. Because it features Miranda July and temporarily inspired me to hunt for a pair of similar high-waisted jeans. I also just finished her book of short stories yesterday and highly recommend it.

Don't worry, this list is almost done.

Smithereens (Stop Crying) - El-P
Director: Cassidy Gearhart
Fair warning: this one is a little hard to watch at times, especially if like me you have issues around seeing images of torture, even if it's just implied. But it's beautifully shot and I love El-P and I have to admire his commitment to his art here.
