A Final Ten for 2010 - Videos

Here's a little selection of ten of the bestest music videos for 2010 - as a last hurrah before we all head of to the horrors of 2011 workplaces tomorrow.  Inspired in part by my forehead's appearance in The Arcade Fire's video of 'Ready to Start' obviously.  In no particular order (click on the names not the pics for the videos in all their glory):

LCD Soundsystem 'Drunk Girls'

The Pitch : 'You just stand there and we promise these nice pandas won't do anything nasty to you...'

The Xx 'Islands'

The Pitch : 'It'll marry sound and visuals perfectly, but you may look a bit grumpy for a change and the set will burn down'

M.I.A. 'Born Free'

The Pitch : 'Ginger is the new black, youtube will love it...'

Hot Chip 'I Feel Better'

The Pitch : 'In which bad things happen to a boy band...'

Vampire Weekend 'Giving Up the Gun'

The Pitch : 'You, your friends, Joe Jonas, Jake Gyllenhaal, Daft Punk and RZA all play tennis.  Hilarity ensues'

We Are Scientists 'Nice Guys'

The Pitch : 'Bust some seriously bad-ass skater moves on a scooter while we subtitle your track.  Of course we won't get the words wrong.  Hilarity ensues'

Foals 'Spanish Sahara' 

The Pitch : 'You drag two carcasses from a river, up a snow covered hill and then set them on fire.  Hilarity doesn't ensue'

 

Darwin Deez 'Radar Detector'

The Pitch : 'This'll make you look like a serious artist!  Just hold this umbrella  upside down to collect orangeade and put this crown of instant cameras on your head'

Yeasayer 'O.N.E.'

The Pitch : 'Just your average dive bar scene with shapechangers, Adventure Game gambling, psychedelic dancers and Peaches Geldof'

The Arcade Fire 'The Wilderness Downtown'

The Pitch : 'It'll get people to download Google Chrome even if they never use it again so they can see their own house on the video'
