Slightly off topic
only slightly...

I work as a freelance film-maker, and a lot of the work I do is making music videos for bands. This means i spend a lot of time watching music videos, if only to see how NOT to do it... To that end, I'd like to share a short selection of some of the worst music videos ever. these aren't neccessarily shit bands, but their videos are godawful...

Iced Earth - Ten Thousand strong:

Whoever made this should be blacklisted by the Adobe corporation, and they should have all their copies of After Effects taken from them and buried. The video is obviously quite well made too, thats the sad part. Seems to be some good compositing work in there. Then they go "I know, let's blanket it with the 'Cartoon' effect". It's never going to look like a Scanner Darkly, no matter how much you want it to.

Goat The Head - Darwinain Minions

This isn't bad so much as it is really, really stupid.

Jan Terry - Losing You

So low budget it hurts.

Jorn - Song For Ronnie James

He's playing guitar in font of a car! That makes him cool, right?

I love how at the end of this video they make it seem like the kid picked the jorn CD over the Dio one. And this is meant to be a tribute song. Take that Dio, you dead bastard!

At least they got Keyser Soze to play the kid though.
