Our Velocity (single released 19th March UK)

Loney, Dear – I am John

Vitalic – Birds

Yo La Tengo – Sugarcube

ZZ Top – Legs

Wu-Tang Clan – Triumph

Even if he makes five more shit X-Men spin-offs and a dozen additional Rush Hour sequels starring Mike Epps and Mr. Miyagi’s frozen corpse, Brett Ratner will always have “Triumph”. Clocking in at over six minutes, the video for one of the Wu’s rawest anti-hook tracks boasts more special-effects shots than the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy.

It must have cost millions. It would never get made today. And that’s a shame. There are few greater joys than watching the guys get green screen gully in a beehive that looks eerie similar to several “Mortal Kombat” levels. The star is U-God, who raps like he means it while hanging from a branch in a burning hell forest. Don’t wave at him. [Ryan Dombal]

The White Stripes – My Doorbell

Sex Over The Phone — Village People

Sometimes when I’m bored, I like to think about where the women in this video are today. Are they mothers? Grandmothers? Are they married? Divorced? Widowed? Do they vote Republican? Do they watch “Oprah”? Do they have breast cancer? Heart disease?

But it always comes down to the same two perplexing questions:

Do they ever think about the day when somebody asked them to be in the video for a song called “Sex Over the Phone” by the Village People (in 1985 no less!), and they said yes?

Is it really multiple women, or just one woman wearing different wigs? [Amy Phillips]

Van Halen – Right Now

Twisted Sister We’re not gonna take it

The debate rages: Which of Mark Metcalf’s opening monologues is superior, “We’re Not Gonna Take It” or “I Wanna Rock”? It’s close, but this one takes it. You can get a precise read on his intensity by measuring the amount of saliva produced during the percussive syllables. The drool as he emphasizes “Twisted Sister pin” and “guitar” noses out by a couple of cc’s. [Mark Richardson]
