Thank you Spike Jonze…

…for (among myriad other beautiful things) creating Sabotage – the music video that inspired William Stahl to give up drawing comic books and get directing…

When Less is More

We heart Jessica MacCormack’s music videos for Rae Spoon, Joan and Love is a Hunter, which harness analogical simplicity to address serious matters like prejudice and oppression (Joan) or suicide-inducing heartbreak (Love Is a Hunter).

Adventures in 2Pauseland

Barbieland is fantastic! Or at least that’s what Aqua and millions of young girls would have us believe… Director Andreas Nilsson though takes into this childhood dream space not some candylicious pony-tailed 5-year-olds, but three grumpy guys used to slow-passing routine existences. The result is a 9 minute adventure: forget the usual mind-blowing visuals we’ve … Continued

Kris Moyes and Tricky Love

Oh yes! Two exquisite new examples of music video sublimity entered the 2Pause vortex this week! Kris Moyes, one of our very favorite videostars dropped this gritty number, with echoes of the Prodigy’s No Good basement antics – lo-fi monochromatics, but with a spicy sprinkling of analog animation. Lekker! And next up, a filmic snippet … Continued

Now, Take a Bow!

One of our 2Pause very favorite music video directors, Holland hotsuff Roel Wouters, has just launched a super-fun mega crowd-sourcing collaborative uber project called Now Take A Bow. Described as “a self-portrait of the audience”, it invites the crowd (that’d be you) to take directions from the charmingly Nether-accented Mr Wouters himself, to become part … Continued

Animal Collective Music Movie

According to one Twitter enthusiast, Animal Collective’s new music movie ODDSAC, “makes Matthew Barney look like Matthew McConaughey”. It’s a sumptuous, lo-fi hallucinogenic visual album of images built by the band’s long-time concert visual collaborator Danny Perez, around the intense aural layers which define their eerie, fractal new sounds. Could this be a new avenue … Continued

The (faux) Docu-Style Music Vid

It’s an ongoing trend: the (faux) documentary-style music video. Upped this week on 2Pause: Daniel Wirtberg & Jonas Rudstrom‘s 2009 promo “Burial” for Miike Snow video. The promo opens with a gorgeous, albeit somewhat cliche footage of what appears to be ancient city of Varanasi at the Ganges River in “Beautiful India.” Sort of similar … Continued

Best Music Video of 2010?

Miike Snow‘s latest music video “Rabbit” directed by the ever-fabulous and unstoppable Andreas Nilsson. The promo features a bearded kid, four fiercely-styled video babes, and a brilliant dub dance routine in a hip-kitsch living room setting. Cherry on top: the crazy ass finale featuring a reenactment of 2 Live Crew‘s notorious “As Nasty As They … Continued

Ones To Watch!

Not one but TWO of our very favorite 2Pause music video heartthrobs, are releasing movies in the near future – and we’re doggone excited about it! Our Day Will Come will be the first feature by Romain Gavras, the only trailblazer of cinematic music video amazingness that make us buckle at the knees… and Kris … Continued

M.I.A Has Our Phone Number…

…we wish! Conversely, we do have her super-duper amazing new Born Free video directed by one of our very best (Facebook) friends, French hottie Romain Gavras on our music video platform 2Pause. This is just one of the four eye-candyliciously inspiring clips we added this week – the others being two Holland homegrowns in the … Continued
