Rock and roll can change your life.

Who needs music television? Not us.

October 12, 2001

Since they no longer play videos on MTV (old news, I know), we must turn to the Web to get our fix that used to at least be satisfied by 120 Minutes. For a while there, I used to tape that show every Sunday night and watch it Monday evening. I was turned on to some great new music that way. I saw the Travis video for "All I Wanna Do Is Rock" on 120 Minutes back in 1997, and that's still my favorite song of theirs.

But now musicians know how to use the Internet, and I've got a broadband connection, so here are three videos that I think you should check out:

Liz Phair - Down. This is a new song from Liz, and I still love her even though she moved to LA as soon as I moved to Chicago. She may be avoiding me, but she still writes great songs. This is a cool video with interesting (for once) use of that goofy, stop-frame/multi-angle technique (as seen in Gaps ads and football games).

Bjork - Pagan Poetry. First things first: Bjork's boobies are featured in this kinky, unsafe-for-work video. The song is brilliant, and the video is disturbing.

Gorillaz - Rock the House. I initially gave the Gorilllaz album some shit because I was disappointed that there were only two songs with my man Del on them. I'm still upset about that, but I've gone back to the album several times recently, and have started to really like it. Except for the handful of songs where the guy from Blur sings in his annoying falsetto. Uggh. But a lot of it is really good. This new video from them is the other Del song.

If you know of other cool videos, please add them to comments section. It's Friday and I don't feel like working...

Jake, will you please learn and remember that "the guy from Blur"'s REAL NAME is Damon Albarn? We all know about your bruised and battered Brit Pop past. But c'mon, man.
