I have a question.
What is your favourite music video, be it to do with the story, quality of the song or something else?

Mine is November Rain by Guns N' Roses, partly because it's so over the top and cost so much money and partly because it makes me want to squishyhug Axl Rose and make it all better.

The Chemical Brothers,
'Star Guitar'. Amazingly synced and visualised. (Michael Gondry, so that's to be expected.)

I also have a soft spot for 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' though.

That's rather cool.
Love Total Eclipse of the Heart too though!

Also just been reminded of Lovecats by The Cure. Fucking mental video with added fluffeh!

Bathtime in Clerkenwell
By The Real Tuesday Weld.

I love the song...the video is the most spectacularly peculiar thing upon which I have ever set eyes.

I love it! Reminds me a bit of the one for It's a Hit by Rilo Kiley, which annoyingly is not on YouTube.

that video really scares me

The first time I saw it
it made me laugh like a mong who'd just caught the Andrex puppy, but I can see why it might unnerve. I think "batfuck insane" is the most appropriate description.

I like most of their songs.
It's constantly not amazing, but quite good.

That "My December" one is their best, in my opinon.

That's the one with the opera-like girl, rock'n'roll band, and rapper-ish guy?

I forgot all about them, but love that song with the video that is on loads of roof tops.

You shouldn't worry about what people think in regards to what music you like.
It's almost like dissin' someone for their favorite colour.

I know loads of people think Will Smith's stuff is shit, but I really really like his album 'lost and found', he's done some great stuff.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Sun 28 Jun 2009, 17:42, Reply)

I've been subjecting him to some of the more questionable side of my music all afternoon.
He hates 99% of what I listen to anyway, but some of it makes him growl... serves him right for playing Weird Al and Girls Aloud at me!
( Maladicta, Sun 28 Jun 2009, 17:44, Reply)

Girls Aloud, although I don't really like (except that 'love machine' song), is great brit-pop.
I can't stand this american thing going on at the moment where everything sounds like it's from a nintendo game with lyrics (Britney Spears and Eminem, I'm looking at you).

I listened to Eminem's latest album again today, it's a few times I've listened to it, hoping that the lyrics make up for it, but it's all "I hate my mum, I do drugs". His older stuff tells stories and is quite thought provoking.

One of my favorite albums is "Dan Le Sac vs Scroobulous Pip"'s Angels, the lyrics are whicked.

I like Offspring's latest album too.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Sun 28 Jun 2009, 17:53, Reply)

My hatred of Girls Aloud is more to do with wishing I looked like that
than their lack of discernible musical talent. I loathe that Can't Speak French song and nearly killed my flatmate for waking me up with it once!

Really really hate most modern pop to be honest - the only albums I've enjoyed in the last year or so have been Lily Allen's and the new Jem album. I hate the R&B influence that's coming in, especially the fucking Pussycat Dolls!

Conversely I'm quite fond of old-school Eminem, reminds me of some of my few happy times at school :)
( Maladicta, Sun 28 Jun 2009, 17:57, Reply)

I really don't find them phsyacly attractive.
I like women to look like women and not manufactured barby dolls, and from what I hear (admitadly, very very very briefly) of their personailtys... well, bein' a bitch is a really turn off for me. Ditto stands for the Pussycat Dolls.

That Lily Allen stuff isn't bad, I like that priory-like one (I think that was her). I'll probably give that another few listens over the week. I quite like Kate Perry's album, have you hear the Travis cover of 'I kissed a girl' ? Only thing I don't like about that song, is when it gets high-jacked by every single wannabe drag-act out there on YouTube. Don't get me wrong, I love a bit of drag as much as the next metrosexual guy, the humour is right up my street, I just don't like anything that gets taken on as a theme/meme.

Rytham and Blues can be quite good, Rytham and Bass is shit. I can't stand Garage or House eaither... but aside from that, I like most stuff.

Eminem is great, esspeicaly if you ignore the whole wigger* thing and just listen to his words, he's very clever with words, i'ld say on par with the likes of Steven Fry. Oh man, I've just had a thought, imagine if he could rap, that would be whicked.
( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Sun 28 Jun 2009, 18:42, Reply)

Then you're sensible. Stupid vacuous whores *bitters*.
Would much rather look like Amy Lee or Tarja.

Lily Allen's new album is all of the awesome - I'm especially partial to Not Fair and Fuck You :) can't say I'm a fan of Katy Perry though, the impression I get from her is that she's trying far too hard to be controversial and it just pisses me off (also fake lesbianism gets right on my tits)!

Garage no, house no, trance yes (especially old 90s stuff like my flatmate listens to), awful stuff like Fiddy and Akon no no no! Recently discovered I'm partial to a little bit of drum n' bass and dubstep since I work with a DJ :)

Hee :) Eminem's old stuff is wonderful for psyching you up before work (don't recommend Disturbed, sends you into work spoiling for a fight!) and Stephen Fry rapping - preferably with a cup of tea - has replaced Brian Blessed on a trampoline as my favourite - non-naughty - mental image!
( Maladicta, Sun 28 Jun 2009, 19:13, Reply)

I quite like the look (and music) of Lisa Miskovsky, and Speedway's album is good too, check them out.
Ohh, yes, I can't stand "I'm so contraversial" intentional stuff. If someone is, then they are, but when they're just doing it for the headline ratings, then it's all abit attention-seeking. Britney Spears is quite bad for that, her twitter really pissed me off when she visited a children's hospital and the whole thing looked like a publicity stunt... it wouldn't supprise me if they chucked a kid out their room so she can put on her make up, it had her logo over the Twitpic too, which ovbously wasn't uploaded from a mobile phone. She's such an inspiration to us all.

Oh yeah', I like a bit of Trance, I can't remember any specific songs, but it's great background music. Esspecialy the 'chill out' ones.

I like Eminem to get me into the mood to do Srs Bzns too, and a bit of Offspring does the same.

I'm not customer facing at all, but would like to be.
In what I mainly do, web development, I could be quite creative with my looks, I would like to be, but first I'm going to lose some weight, because nothing is worst than a 'creative' fatty.

I'm gonna get a tatto at some point, my first one, I've wanted a specific thing for years and years now.

I'm rather partial to wings on your shoulder blades as these can easily be hidden for work, but I think they're too ... emo. I want to lose some weight, too, to look better in a corset. Hate having a desk job!

99% of the time, we're not customer-facing, but being customer relations traveller care, we would need to be onsite at the station in case of major disruption so we do need to be smart-ish.
( Maladicta, Sun 28 Jun 2009, 19:06, Reply)

I really like those perspective tattos,
the ones that have a 'shaddow' under the object so it looks almost 3D. I also quite like those ones where it looks like you've got a big rip in your skin (like a shark bite), but you can see robot/snake/whatever insides. I reckon they would hurt quite baddly though, and wouldn't look good in an office enviroment.

I know they're cheesy, but Tribels are quite good in the right place.
