| How about that recent Hugh Cornwell video (typically I forget the
song) where a plasticine model apparently lifesize is substituited
for our Hugh, which changes shape and all other things, the classic
part being where he kisses a girl and their heads mesh together
and then separate. Very impressive use of plasticine.

How about 'Touch of Grey' by The 'Dead...
Skeletons replacing the band 1 by 1 and then gradually turning back
into the original band at the end. the skeletons are full puppets
and a nice touch at the end is the shot of a skeleton working the
strings for the band members... brilliant! almost certainly the best
of '87.

Was it "I feel so extaordinary" or something?

| Well, Tony.....
When I saw this note in the directory, I thought, hmmm...
and came up with
youve guessed it
Sledgehammer, Coming Up, and Cry.
Also one by the Cars, I cant remember the song, but the video has
the singers head fling around atop an insects body.
Sitll recommending the collection of Residents videos, available
as a package, which includes parts of Vileness Fats, the classic
aforementioned Third Reich&Roll and loads of others - an hour of
total mindwarp for a tenner!
Last but not least, Jocko Homo by Devo

The Cure's Close to Me. But Damnit, someone beat me to it. Anyway,
I think it's a great video.
Nothing else really jumps out in my mind. I guess that's because
of the current lame state of videos!

I like it because it was probably the most inovative videos of it's
time. The lights that move around as if they were alive is a
facinating effect. They almost have a personality unto themselves.

hmm.. you've just reminded me of another video by Herbie Hancock

On the subject of T. Heads, did anyone catch a thing on Tv a while
back called 'Video Jukebox'?, 16hrs of music vids.
In that, David Byrne did a solo acoustic guitar version of 'Pyscho
Killer'.... now *that* was good!

Byrne and Gabriel are always creative without being pretentious
or resorting to the ever growing trend of total sexist crap that
seems to be invading videomaking just lately.

"Crackdown" and "Kino" by Cabaret Voltaire
from _Gasoline_in_your_Eye_
why?
Because this genre has been totally overlooked
(in my opinion) by the video makers...
They are mini-documentaries in videos...no
dancing girls and very little of the group
showing themselves off.

I take offence to certain behaviors or not.
I love his new song, but haven't seen the video yet. Does he use
the same girls again? (I heard a comment that he does.)

Were there two videos for that? When it was released, I saw a bizarre
video on "The Tube" that featured dwarves (if I remember correctly)
attacking an old piano frame using metal grinders, all set in a gloomy
wrecked warehouse. But whenever I've seen a video of it since, it's
been just a collection of objects - a hand, a ruler, and so on - not
nearly as interesting.
Speaking of more recent videos, "Snub" had a feature on New Order that
included a clip from a video for one of the tracks off "Technique". This
video consisted of longish mono takes straight at a model's face, long
enough that she began to look uncomfortable, interspersed with very
short colour clips of cream being thrown over a bunch of tulips. Sounds
daft, looked great.
