Black and white noir cut-up. 40’s man uses Burrough’s cut-up techniques to decode books and newspapers. Reads results into phone to snoody chick with strobe lighting. She disintegrates and then her head explodes. Annoying rap when cut to her, but cool disintegration effect—lock down with moving striped overlays in register.

Ghostlawns

Superlame bad rapping in studio with solid color backgrounds and ballet dancers and cheerleaders. Bad imitation of Gondry’s iconic Daft Punk video. Horrifically awful.

Stop motion tide comes in. Koyaanisqatsi pan to ship’s engine wheel thingy. Hand enters frame and changes speed. The rest of the video is a crazy lockdown beach scene—things randomly appearing and disappearing like a Dali tableaux. Cool.

Donkey Rhubarb
|
|
 |
|
Freaky fat Teletubby furbies dancing with each other monochromatically in a basement or with happy kids in supersatuarationoscope. Bears have those disturbing Afx faces.

Come to Daddy
|
|
|
 |
|
| Most disturbing. Old lady in broken down tenement gets pursued by kids with Afx heads and a distorted video demon born from a TV set who threatens to eat her soul. Charming.

Windowlicker
|
|
 |
|
Hysterically vulgar cholos get dissed by streetcorner hos for an absurdly long time. White limo pulls up with happy feat Afx head in a suit with logo umbrella. Hos get hot. Lots of hot babes in bikinis with Afx heads. Nasty. And not necessarily in a good way.

| Music box drum ‘n’ bass. Mechanical toys and moths dance in a musty room underneath the stairs. Boy sits by mirror. Pleasant enough. Not much going on.

Travelling around a giant fragmenting multiplane spinning disc, stuttering and shattering to the funky beats. Effective visual analogue to glitch hop. Nice. By the guy who did the PSP spot (similar morphing effect on red Rockem Sockems crashing through London) on British Animation Awards 6.

Funky black dude speed rapping to camera in Michigander winter woods. Cut like intro of X on Pimp My Ride. Tiresome and stupid. And a bad song to boot.

Gob Coitus
|
|
| In a dingy flickery fluorescent realm deep underground in some soulless urban cinder, a spastic bald Asian guy twitches while being chased by (or perhaps becoming?) a large bee. Which, surprisingly enough, is what the music sounds like. Or maybe not.

Total Devastation

Midsummer's Night
|
|
Slow, sparse, slightly synthetic honky soul. Idyllic scenes of a femme 80’s style singer fishing with father figure. Woman swims under the water, where an organ lies. Whatever.

I'm Not Comfortable Inside My Mind
|
|
|
 |
|
Klaus Nomi coiffed dude uneating the words to his song (all of them, thank you) which have been written on thin circular pieces of paper (eaten in reverse order, then played backwards). Very weird and oddly compelling.

LFO
|
|
| Pedestrian electronica underneath mostly layered textures with schematics and hands and pixilated postcard faces. Rather Vaughen Oliverish. Pleasant if somewhat random information age hypertextures.

I Love Acid

| Black and white Felixy cat—hand-drawn design but computer animated—lip synching and break dancing over simple, sometimes monochromatic backgrounds.

Little Numba
|
|
| Scratchy pen and ink animation. Structures rise up out of the ground like a time-lapse look at civilization. Fingers point always up, scaffolds are built, rockets launch. It all comes back to the finger.

Aftermath

Big plasterhead guy being domestic intercut with red and blue 3-D B-boy dancing and indecipherable projections. Lame video for a lame track.

Half of What
|

Patterns of light—concrete and abstract—overlap against black. Mimic stroposcopic speed bands on turntables, which show up with a dude doing a wheelie on them.

Prefuse 73

Wilmot
|
|
|
 |
|
| Uniformed marching band (like 8, maybe) walking around to a cool jazzy mambo groove. Lots of fisheye and sullen band member Cus. Cool tune, lame video.

Sabres of Paradise
|
|
|
|
|

Fracture
|
|
 |
|
| Blue stroboscopic cellular division. Shifting Eno chords under twitchy outtakes. Abstracty. Snory.
|

|
Seefeel
|
|
|
Come On My Selector
|
|
|
 |
Horror film. Creepy “disturbed” Japanese girl torments and tortures fat guards in a mental ward late at night. The old human-dog brain transfer thing. Cunningham is consistantly good at complimenting the stuttery beats of drum ‘n’ bassy grooves with his seizure-inducing videos. Must be hell to edit.

Opto-Scientific
|
|
 |

Cool minimalist graphicy videogame environments in which geometric elements interact in surprising and clever ways. Short and sweet.
