Well this award winning track by Amy Winehouse also goes into one of the reasons for her celebrity. The song is produced by the amazing Mick Ronson (who did Lou Reed's brilliant Transformer album) and the music video is alot of fun with her band getting in on the act. Enjoy!

One of my favourite songs of the ninties and a memorable clip to go with it. The lead singer Richard Ashcroft probably has one of the most interesting faces around and his relentless roaming around the streets of London seems to fit perfectly with the tone of this song. AA definite classic.



Hope you enjoyed that one!

Coldplay decided to team with hip hop music video legend Hype Williams for their latest music video to the song Viva La Vida. Interesting use of colour and special effects. Interestingly there is a second music video for this song made by another music video legend in Anton Corbijn - we will put that one up sometime soon so you can compare. Enjoy this one.

Well revenge has never seen the likes of Lily Allen before - in this video to her charming song 'Smile' she goes to pretty extreme lengths to ruin a ex-boyfriend. The video is directed by music video veteran Sophie Muller who does her usual slick job on it. Entertaining as it is cute, have fun with it.

40. Numb - Linkin Park - Joe Hahn

October 10th 2008 11:02
Successful rockers Linkin Park made this haunting clip to go with there song Numb and showcases the problems that young people in society today have. The clip is directed by the talented Joe Hahn who when not directing episodes of the X-Files likes to hang out with the band he plays in - Linkin Park. Enjoy

Mark Romanek has worked with artists as diverse as Johnny Cash, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Weezer and Michael Jackson. Here he again shows his versatility teaming with Rapper JayZ for this fine clip for the song 99 Problems (from the black album). Breaking the stereotype of what a rap video normally looks like going for gritty black and white and beautifully shot. Watch for the cameo from famed rock/rap producer Rick Rubin. I love this clip

If you want to shed a good girl image then releasing a track called 'promiscuous' is a good start. Nelly Furtado is a very talented song writer/performer and here she dumps the wholesome 'like a bird' image for a down and dirty one. Helped by uber R&B producer Timbaland. Watch out for the cameos in the clip (including Justin Timberlake)

Not a song about Sarah the Duchess of York Ferguson but by Fergie the lead singer of the successful R&B outfit The Black Eyed Peas. Her solo career has been scarily successful and with songs like these it's no suprise (really if you are sampling both James Brown and Kraftwerk you can't go wrong, right?). The clip features a cameo from Black Eyed Pea colleague Will I Am (taking a break spruiking for Barack Obama) as a sort of Willy Wonka character in 'Fergiland'.

Talk about fun music videos - this homage to low budget 1970's cop shows is an absolute riot. Each member of the group plays an actor playing a character (complete with crazy subtitle). It moves at a million miles an hour and is a great example of Spike Jonze's sense of fun and play. Have fun with this clip

Great song by one of grunge's great survivors - Green Day. Showing they can do mellow ballad as well as the hard rocking stuff this track off the wonderful American Idiot album shows their true versatility as a band. A great clip to go with the song directed by Samuel Bayer

Hey Cibbs,

As cool as these two actors are I don't think anyone is cooler than french actor John Louis Trintingnant who was in Bernado Bertolucci's classic film The COnformist.

But kudos to you for finding the fight between belmondo and delon (who was apparently a real prick in real life) and extra points for the picture of his very very saucy wife - ahh the french could only produce a woman that looks like that.

Great film and I really enjoyed with it and agree with your review - however you make no mention of the film's young dynamo director - Jason Reitman or the fact he has gone onto bigger and better things - namely the Oscar winning teen comedy Juno.

Hey there,

Great post that identifies three of the worst television shows ever made. It's more than just bad television but an attempt to reduce the intelligence of the population en masse.

I try to find better things - like in my blogs
