Who needs leaving the house on Halloween when you have flickr?

rudi and spider, originally uploaded by you!me!dancing!.

When I came across you!me!dancing! and her beau (I presume), I came dangerously close to spilling my coffee all over the keyboard. My reaction was something along the lines of:

"HOLY CRAP! IT'S RUDI AND SPIDER!!!!"
*as the mug fumbles in my hand*

It makes me wish I was at least in the same state as my best friend, he would make a great Old Gregg. We could do some sort of group Boosh themed costume with my friend, me, and mister.boyfriend.. *sigh*

I could not resist......

It's Halloween and the final two videos for my festive video countdown! As obvious as it may seem, I had to pick Thriller for one of the final two videos. How can it be Halloween without Michael Jackson, Vincent Price (his voice at least), and choreographed zombies?


The second video I picked is another one from Supergrass. Much like Halloween not being the same without Thriller, I can't make any sort of music related list without giving Supergrass two spots!

#2. Supergrass - Rush Hour Soul

#1. Michael Jackson - Thriller

Missed the other videos? part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4

I'm gonna push you further into my dream....

One more day until Halloween and I am surprisingly without plans. I guess I'll eat candy and watch my own video countdown ;)

#4. Metallica - Enter Sandman
You know you like a bit of the 'ole Metallica and despite all it's corniness... you think the video is pretty cool as well. Just admit it!




#3. Supergrass - Mary
If I recall correctly, this video banned from being played in the UK before 11pm at night.. or something along those lines. Supergrass is one of my most beloved bands and one of the greatest bands that I've listen to throughout my years. Mary is an interesting little ditty with a killer video ;)




Missed the other videos? part 1, part 2, part 3

The final two videos will be posted tomorrow!

And I'm frightened by the liquid engineers.....

Onward to videos #6 and #5 in my little Halloween video fest. yay! If you missed the first two parts, you can find them over this way: part 1, part 2

In the 20th century "chills" were no longer something exclusively as the result of the supernatural. Big brother, aggressive alien species, radioactive beasts, misunderstood androids, and other popular sci-fi themes have frequently been used to unnerve the populous.

Straying from the typical "oogey boogey" fare, the following two videos are from artists that I highly respect and have always been a bit keen on the seemingly "futuristic" slant to their work.


#6. Gary Numan - Metal



#5. Kraftwerk - The Robots




Four videos left to go and I only have 3 videos selected. What will my fourth selection be? Does any know? Tomorrow we will be back to the good 'ole fashioned creep and y.

It's not the monster mash....

Two more videos to help you get your sweet Hallo-ween groove on and if you missed part 1, you can find it over this way.

#8. Stone Temple Pilots - Sour Girl
Sarah Michelle Gellar scares me. Seeing a dark field of strange Teletubby like creatures unnerves me and Scott Weiland's writhing (is that supposed to be a dance?) just creeps me out.



#7. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Mary Jane's Last Dance
I love the song and think the video is erm, interesting..... Unlike Atlantic Records, the fine folks that allowed an embedded link to Sour Girl, Universal will stand for no such thing. So you'll have to click here to go to the YouTube page. See the video


Stay tuned for for the next two videos tomorrow and later today I'll be posting the first edition of "Thematic Tuesdays"!

Count down to the 'ween

A lot of Americans consider Thanksgiving to be the start of the "holiday season". Being a big fan costumes and free candy, I beg to differ and consider Halloween to be the grand kickoff. I love Halloween. I love music videos. In celebration of the festive season I'll be recommending 10 music videos that, with a little imagination, could be seen as rather fitting for the occasion.

Each video thrills me in its own way, so the videos will be posted two each day in no particular order. Believe me, I tried to make a "best of" list but just did not have the heart.....

#10. Bauhaus - Bella Lugosi's Dead (from The Hunger)
I much prefer this clip over the video for the single. Bauhaus made a brief appearance in the 80's vampire flick "The Hunger". Staring David Bowie, Catherine Deneuve, and Susan Sarandon. I consider this movie to be something of a cheesefest, so it does not particularly trigger my "ick" radar.



#9. Aphex Twin - Come to daddy
Come to think of it, just about every Aphex Twin video I can think of falls under "creepy"...




So there we have it. Watch out for the next two videos tomorrow (and the aforementioned new regular addition to Tuesdays)....
