Tomorrow I'm heading to Chicago on a Choo Choo Train, so I wanted to make sure and leave you with some quality music videos to enjoy over the weekend. Let's start with the following from Ariel Pink. Set in an amusement park, it's a fun, psychedelic and surreal video that I expect only a few of you will actually get through. As calamitous as his music might sound at first, it's pretty phenomenal if you give it a good listen and are in the right light-headed state of mind.
Next up is some old footage of Arthur Lee and Love, with their 1966 song "Message to Pretty." This is the album version of the song, but it matches up pretty well and gives you a decent idea what seeing Love might have been like back then, at least on their quieter numbers filmed on a TV set. Just look at how hip that audience is at the end.
Continuing in the black and white vein is this new classic from The King Khan and BBQ Show, "Why Don't You Lie?" Filmed in Khan's adopted hometown of Berlin, it offers a great chase sequence in the Holocaust memorial.
The following tune by Lee Dorsey (not really a video here -- just music and a photo of the album) is called "Yes We Can," and it's 10 times funkier than any of the other theme songs the presidential candidates have come up with so far. I don't understand why Obama's campaign doesn't hop on this one. I doubt Lee Dorsey would disapprove.
This last one is something by San Francisco Band The Oh Sees. I'm not sure if it's in any way endorsed by the band, but all the weird faces and figures make it a good choice for the Halloween season.
See you soon.
