Neither of these is new, but haven’t I already established that we work at the slow-and-steady pace here?
I love this Feist video for the song “1234″ because it’s simultaneously simple and complex. It’s set on an empty soundstage with one continuous camera shot, but there’s some complex staging to the whole thing. For example, note how the dancers become color coordinated at one point. It reminds me of Michel Gondry‘s video directing style.
I learned about this song from two good English gents: Warren Ellis (posted on his blog) and Steve Jones (who played it on his Jukebox Jury). It’s credited to dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip and it’s bloody marvelous. Yes, indeed — “just a band.” “Thou shalt not make repetitive generic music. Thou shalt not pimp my ride.”
