Please list/link to any of your fave music videos
 
I'm not a big MTV or MMM or CMT video person (other than live performances) but I did really like the treatment and images on Gord's last one, Inspiration Lady

If you have any faves (current or from yesteryear) for recommending I thought it would be good to have a thread compiling a variety of links...I imagine most can be found at youtube or other video sites

I like this song and this video quite a lot...it's all a video really needs to be, imo

YouTube - Royal Wood - Juliet

isn't that lovely? simple and easy and the music is gorgeous..i love that video.
I'm a big fan of his since seeing him in January at the LIghtfoot trib.show at Hugh's Room.

His name is jonathon and his middle name is after his grandfather-Royal.. I think that's what he told me..
lol

Nice thread idea. It'll be interesting to see what crops up.

The Royal Wood video is almost too sad.

So, I'll see your sad...........and raise you one mad.......

:cool: heh heh

that guy breaks all the rules (including the 'no embedding' one!)

rm, i fold...ugh, yeah, that sure is maddening...depressing actually
i think Rea is singing about the 'dancer' in that Hunter S Thompson quote

imo, not a stunning video but there's a nice segment here of audio and video transitions, from :34 to 1:24 ....cut the cord

YouTube - The Killers - Human [Official Video][HQ]

Loved all those. Nice dance music on the road to hell, haha.

nice tunes, patti and jjo:) i guess those are photo slide shows rather than 'motion picture' broadcast quality videos, but anything goes:clap:

Re: Please list/link to any of your fave music videos
 
OK I'll bite
I have many favoUrite musc videos that I could submit but for now I will settle for the one that never fails to please me for its vivacity
a superbly happy performance of the 1985 Bryan Adams hit that was a number one in 2002 for the lively and lovely young Dutch singer Dominique Van Hulst

jj 09-22-2009 08:31 AM

Re: Please list/link to any of your fave music videos
 
john, nice looking gal...did she have an actual 'video' to support her #1 single? ...yeah, an Adams classic anthem...i didn't mean performance videos, but i wasn't very clear about what i meant obviously, lol....well ok then, photos slide shows and you fave youtube non-GL covers (we have a place for that) or live performance videos are welcome too

with that said, i'll add one (this is not what i meant by a 'produced video')... here's a guy who has multi-talent and i dig the arrangement...when you hear a pop tune played on trafitional instruments you can really tell a good melodic composition from the rest of the techno junk out there:

YouTube - Human - The Killers - Violin and Piano Cover

ok, it's a bit busy/muddy/raw/a bit out of tune, i love that

Re: Please list/link to any of your fave music videos
 
I love the Royal Wood video, jj. I like the song too - the singer has a cool voice.

This was my favorite from my teen years in the '80s when I was addicted to MTV. I watched enough videos to last me a lifetime. It was popular at the time - they even did a spoof about it on Family Guy.

Warning: Synthesizer alert!

Oh great. Not since geosteve's infamous "dot rules" have I been so confused about the boundaries.

Regardless, this one is sure to be universally loved :

i'm still in therapy for synch OD from the 80s so thanks for the heads up, formerly lavender!...nice big hair in that vid too

you've got the idea, patti:) ...to be frank (and jj too), i am a luke warm Beatles fan and not a fan of cartoon videos at all, i have no idea why both seem to be the case...and i do enjoy that classic The Wall film but minus all the cartoon stuff that so many would rave about ...keep em coming, folks

i was ignorant to the Williams extra curricular talents, very tasty... thanks for that, guys ...let's agree to refrain from posting any Shaq rap videos or Jiri Tlusty footage

ok, a video for a friday...most either hate or love remakes...there's nothing earth shattering about the video but a nice treatment suitable for the duet, imo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_35q...eature=related

one day (ok, it won't be in my lifetime) i'd like to hear a GL concert with all the steel and keyboard parts replaced with subtle fiddle arrangements...ok, and a few more live harmonies to add to the colouring

hey jim, catch the tom russel GL anecdote that Sir john posted, fun...nice tune, btw...any broadcast videos out there?

patti/jessie, i guess the kalediscope(sp?) and time laspe images are impressive and have been around a while (even consumer level video cams will do that now)...feel free to drop a intro saying what impresses you about the video...where's the human element of the creativity? these seem to be lacking on the storyboard end of things but no one says a video needs to have one, i'm at a loss for what young folks and/or boomers are looking for when it comes to 'video' these days

here's one that is nice treatment wise and intros the public to Edwards 'edge' but it's a case where after hearing the song in advance, the video leaves me confused as to the message...it's all backwards and the song should be called 'Back to YOU' i suppose...anyhow, you can't go wrong whenever an old diner, motel or gas station is used as the backdrop:) btw, i think the male casting is weak here, imo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zo7HvUlrGe4

who is really missing from the video is her hubby, colin cripps...very talented, great stage presence and very cool

Curtural Circumference is a recent upload by mountainmystic9. The videos are for meditation and sound healing.

I don't always comment when I post a video because I know that each person has a different take on it. I just wanted to share something good.

I really would have enjoyed that video in the '70s, Patty. :)

listened to her sing it live last week... when she broke in with

"night can't come quick enough...my faults shine in the sun"

and heard that rich tone, it was a deadly combo (no pun intended!)

the Cardigan's lead singer had released it but that vocal is quite pale in comparison, imo...however good exposure for the song and writer

the great cbc Concerts on Demand offer such nice recordings of so many unknown talents out there...this track is #12

http://www.cbc.ca/radio2/cod/concert...nr#readReviews

she's matured and has new hair to go with the new release

i do like that "dusty old stack of books" set dec, love it actually

good stuff, patti:) i must say that after the watch and listen, i need some healing for the resulting headache it gave me (j/k;) )

Why is this notable to me ? I like John Prine, and I thought it was an interesting treatment of the song :

I always did like this Murray McLauchlan song, so I guess I can put this video here.

Brings me back to the good old 1970's !


"Alone but never lonely, that's how I like to be." Murray M.

i dont remember Murray releasing any videos (to see a real music video, jessie, check out the cool Prine one rm posted...it's more than a slide show) to support any of his old singles...i dont think i've ever seen a Lunch at Allens one either (current group)...i actually had lunch there last week, good food, better beer...

jj 10-08-2009 09:27 AM

Re: Please list/link to any of your fave music videos
 
i love many low budget videos....the last shot in this one looks like me waiting for Gord (Lightfoot, not Downie) to finally release that next compilation of rarities

after seeing this video way back when, i got myself a Mike the goldfish, complete with jar...

YouTube - The Tragically Hip - New Orleans Is Sinking: .

i'd like to listen to a conversation between Lightfoot and Downie

Well jj, Murray released at least one video that I do remember viewing a lot on Much Music in the 80's. 'Never Did Like That train'.

I remember his interview on The Don Harron Show (CTV), where he told Don, for that video he was chased by police cars they had rented from The Littlest Hobo Productions. :)

sundreme, i don't know if that link is very suitable for this site but i will say it's probably the sort of thing i should not be clicking on first in the morn... i guess by the disclaimer i was expecting some sort of disgruntled urban video where a guy exclaims a 4 letter word at some point (rather than performing one)

rm, odd but mesmerizing and creative... a fine blend of visuals and song...i had only ever heard a more uptempo version previously... there's only one beck

jjo, i liked the vid!...you can tell it's dated...ya wouldnt be allowed to smoke in jail these days (or even on the property now:eek:) and the boys in blue would have tasered him

i was watching early morning cbc news last weekend on rabbit ears (no, i didnt say 'wearing them', however halloween is coming!) and when i sonn after looked up, there was an episode of good ole Littlest Hobo...didnt knwo it still ran...i said to myself, 'now there's some fine Canadian acting!' lol
