Watch things
24 May 2007
I think I wore myself out for the week yesterday, on the writing front at least, so today I’m going to highlight some nice bits of video that are floating around these here internets recently.
First up is this rather wonderful advert for Skoda:
Firstly, the concept is just brilliant – simply the idea that instead of faking it, that they just did it for real. Secondly, it’s just so much fun and seems to really reinforce the brand judging from the people I’ve spoken to.
Next, the new White Stripes video for the forthcoming single, Icky Thump:
Such a good song, and a great video to go with it.
Next up, the brand new video for Emma Pollock:
The song is great, and I quite like the almost retro feel that the video has going on.
Finally, a live video from The National on MTV:
After going on about how good they were on Tuesday, I thought I’d share this with you – they really are very good live. I’m kicking myself as I had a chance to go see this performance while I was in NY, but didn’t make it as it was filmed at 2:30 in the morning – looks like it was a lot fun!
