OK Go Make Great Videos

You could say they should put more creative effort into their music, but then we wouldn't have heard of them.

Folks, U2 & Coldplay & Keyboards Are Back.

Coldplay have gone off on a tangent with "Midnight", which many are liking because "it doesn't sound like Coldplay". I must admit I was waiting for the drums to come in, but they don't. And Chris's weird dancing in this video is something he'll regret around the next album (when they start to write stadium songs again). Maybe it's a joke, but I don't get it, and if it's the first single of their new album, na
U2 on the other hand, have already had several moments like this (Zooropa / Passengers / etc etc) and are back being a parody of U2.

40 (+8) Years Of Hurt - England World Cup 2006

Can it really be 8 years since I made this? Blimey. I don't think I've watched England play since, other than the other night.

One of many "fan made" videos I created around the World Cup 2006 for various clients, this one was done just for "fun" at the time England fell out of the tournament.

Published under an alias the day after and "seeded", it's one of my personal faves, as the subtle movements on screen match the sentiment and lyrics of the brilliant David Ford track "I Don't Care What You Call Me". It got to over 200k views before being taken off YouTube by FIFA.

"Killer Willard" The Boxing Kangeroo

A 25 year old clip of TV gold, that had me in tears, tears of laughing both out loud, and a bit like a girl. Yes, this is very funny.

What DJs Do

And some of you thought they just pressed the space bar on a Mac. It would seem these three have already squirted WD-40 on that stiff nob that causes most DJs to pull that trademark face - the same one that lead guitarists pull when playing high notes.
