Ten Music Video Highlights of 2012
2. Bjork – Mutual Core
Just three words to describe this video: Puppets. Are. Back. [Original Post]
1. Spiritualized – Hey Jane (NSFW)
Spiritualized’s single for Hey Jane is nothing short of extraordinary. Harsh, crude, and difficult to swallow — it’s, of course, everything a pop music video shouldn’t be. Though its strong themes depicting a grim reality for many out there trying to just make it through one more day the best they can are hard to watch over and over, it’s difficult to deny its haunting qualities.
The music video, if you make it through in one go, stays with you… for better or worse. [Original Post]

What are your favorite music videos of 2012?
What are the trends you are seeing for next year?
Yeah… I’ve only watched the M.I.A. video before XDDDDD My current musical culture is sorely lacking :P
@Mirella, Except for when Hiddles RTs MVs? xD and you must’ve seen/heard about one of the Kpop MVs… at least on your FB wall talk haha.
@amy, Yeah, I’ve only watch Nicki Minaj’s Starship MV complete because he mentioned it XD Even if his taste of music goes more to Sigur Rós and Mumford & Sons… except when it doesn’t.
I haven’t seen those particular Kpop MVs… I have only seen complete MVs of 2ne1 and Girls’ Generation. None of the boybands hold my attention enough to complete a video XD
@Mirella, you’re gonna love Crayon, if u give it the time of day. Even IF G-Dragon is the girliest of them all. And Fantastic Baby has enough colorful grunge to interest you.
I just saw “Crayon” earlier today and you have to like a video that starts with G-Dragon plopped asleep in a Wonder Woman robe.
Awesome how you broke down the videos into all these patterns. However, I think you missed Noomi Rapace in the Rolling Stones’ latest video? she’s great in that. I had to have the gifs right away of her shooting up zombies with a shotgun.
@Mirella, if you liked Psy and love nonsensical, like it seems you do from your column, you will fancy yourself some WTF from G-Dragon. For sure.
@amy, best video of the year for you?
@chrryblssmninja, I did miss it! I hadn’t seen it, to be honest. And it does follow the Actor + MV PLUS the NSFW trend with violence and nipple-showing. Though I would argue Noomi wouldn’t be rising the Rolling Stones’ relevance. It’s an oldschool collab. =P
@ghost, pop-wise? I liked Salyu’s Camera and the latest Crowd Lu MV (O La La Hu Hu). I also liked G-Dragon’s Crayon. I didn’t have a clear favorite this year.
don’t hate me: HERE
better than the actual song
*siiigh* Crayon… I basically decided I need GDragon as my puppy after that video… HaHa.
I personally don’t really think I’m a fan of the lyric videos. I think it’s more to do with the fact there’s so many of them. I’ve never been a fan of oversaturation of decent idea. And that’s what happened with lyric vids… HaHa.
