Year In Videos: 2008

This has been a wonderful vacation so far. Now I'm settled in Yakima with family, every one of them present: The Winslows, Tanners, Fosters, Lamberts, and Taylors - they're all here joining in the television playbook of Christmas cliches. Meanwhile, as Mercedes burrito-debris continues to course through my veins, I thought I'd compile a short list of music videos that caught my attention this year. In the past I'd make fleeting mental notes of favorite films and videos, but for 2008 I decided to take a more active approach and actually write something down to reflect on later.

So here we go. A personal list of videos that I enjoyed this year:

M83: "Kim and Jessie" Dir. Eva Husson


MGMT: "Electric Feel" Dir. Ray Tintori


No Age: "Eraser" Dir. Andy Bruntel


Ladyhawke: "Back Of the Van" Dir. Kinga Burza


Beck: "Gamma Ray" Dir. Autumn de Wilde


The BPA: "Toe Jam" Dir. Keith Schofield


Ratatat: "Mirando" Dir. E*VAX

it's kind of amazing how out of the music video loop i was this year. i merely listened to all these songs, the old fashioned way.
