THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

OK-Go - Here It Goes Again

I know nothing about them, and I don't like the music. Indeed I've never heard another of their songs. But my son loved this video when he was younger. It's clever, but simple, and you have to wonder how many takes it took to get it right.

A much underrated band, and once Midge Ure joined they morphed into my perfect combination of synths & guitars.

Get the Vienna album 2020 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, and enjoy all the new mixes including the 5.1 surround mix which is fabulous.

Rage in Eden also got the Deluxe Edition & 5.1 surround sound treatment last year, so I treated myself to that album too, and it's great listening to them both again, almost as 'new' albums.

It's Pete's train set and you should all feel honoured to be granted the privilege of paying to watch him play with it.

I believe they're really good dancers deliberately dancing badly, as they're actor-dancers, for a fictional dance group called The Torrance Community Dance Group.

More great videos being added - many thanks all.

Quick reminder - let's keep it as per the OP, limited to one music video per day, to keep the thread going - I've also edited the thread title too now.


Couldn't resist doing the stats, so the Directed By leaderboard thus far, is as follows
Godley and Creme - 4 - (Cry, Rockit, Fade to Grey, Two Tribes)
Spike Jonze - 3 - (Buddy Holly, Sabotage, Praise You)
Russell Mulcahy - 2 - (The Reflex, Vienna)


Allow me to share with you then, someone who has directed no fewer than 8 of my all-time favourite music videos since the early 90s, however I only discovered they were directed by the same person last year.

Chronologically from 1993 - first up is Snowbound by Donald Fagen, from his superb album Kamakiriad.
Directed by Michel Gondry.

7 more Michel Gondry favourites coming up from me, over the next 7 days or so...

Radiohead - Burn The Witch

The Wicker Man set in Trumpton, what's not to like!

Yeah, that's a classic. It reminds me of the Scarfolk Council comedy blog (now only rarely updated):

Run DMC - Walk This Way

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B_UYYPb-Gk&list=PLDkAFNanIXVgDKa05y_eFqAy6ToBsL4up&index=5

To my mind, this video set the seal on the fact that rock music (ALL rock music, including indie, not just metal/hair rock) was now heritage music, like jazz, and the zeitgeist was owned by Hip Hop.
