Okok, I actually wanted to write another part of the 'Diploma Recap' series but right now I'm just too mashed to look for good pictures and write something that actually makes sense. Instead I will be hitting you with this: three super nice music videos I have recently stumbled upon.

First we have a remix of French hip hop legend Booba's 'Salade Tomates Oignons' by Yuksek, the latter of which also contributed a track to Phoenix' 'Wolfgnag Amadeus Remixed' – the album I also recently wrote about. Next up is a fairly new Vampire Weekend video to the song 'Giving Up The Gun' which features a lot of unexpected cameos. After that we have Jay Z with his uberstylish 'One To The next One' off the new album. And finally one of my favorite bands of the last year that finally released their first album 'Tourist History' – Two Door Cinema Club with 'Undercover Martyn'. Not their latest video and not the freshest concept but somehow I like this one. Besides that, it's really quite interesting to hear how much they've 'tuned' and partly reworked their songs for the album. A few songs have improved but in my opinion most of them have lost their 'raw' touch and now sound kinda mushy. They're still awesome :)

Damn, it would've been nice to live back then. See it all happen from the start. Niceness. Music by the great They That Cried Wolf.

Yupp, another video, this time by dub-electro-whatever artist Scuba (video directed by Sam Geer). Again both visually and acoustically striking. But I promise that later on today I'll post something 'normal'. Whatever that means... :D

A little treat, both visually and acoustically. By the way, at the moment I'm loving the remix album of Phoenix' 'Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix' called Wolfgnag Amadeus Remixed. I'm really not a big Phoenix fan, but man that remix thing is good! Almost every single track is awesome. The only other two remix albums I know which are of similar quality are probably Bloc Party's 'Silent Alarm Remixed' and Crystal Castles' 'Remixed Rewired'. Anyways, I'm rambling, here's the vid.

Super nice video by French indie poppers Hold Your Horses! for all you future art dealers. Never really heard of these guys before but their stuff does indeed sound pretty sweet.

The mainstream music industry has finally picked up on the fixie trend. To be honest though, my money would've been on some hipster Hype Machine indietronica band rather than Jared Leto's slightly emo-ish alternative rockers to make the run for it. But whatever, the video is nicely shot and the song ain't too bad either :)

I wish I had 2% of your skills...

Forget what I said two posts ago. This is what I really, reeeeeally want. Btw, second oral exam in two days. Grrr.

Pretty pleez?
