(A message from April, $99 Music Videos community manager: Today marks the latest and last update from Colin, of the Ourobouros podcast and the Weekly Music Video Podcast fame, during his 3 part guest blog stint with us here at $99 Music Videos! You can read the first HERE, and the second HERE. He’s done a GREAT job spotlighting awesome music videos and we really appreciate him taking the time to write for us. If you’ve been digging it to, give him a like or reblog! Without further ado, let’s get on with it. Colin go!)
Elle S’Appelle - Little Flame
Unlike the first two videos, the final video I have for you will not be featured on WMVP, but it’s one of my all-time favourite videos so I had to share it with you. I have a self imposed rule on my podcasts that I don’t play bands who have split up and unfortunately Elle S’Appelle from Liverpool, England are no more. They were just about to make the big break through here in the UK so it was very sad. This video is definitive proof that you don’t need a huge budget to create a great video. All you need is a good concept and some inventiveness. The concept for this video, directed by the band and Ste Lucas, is a series of round objects making a series of patterns. It’s very simple, but like all the best ideas the genius comes from doing it first. Gone but not forgotten.
The first two of these videos (that would be Seagull Strange and Echo Helstrom) will be featured on future episodes of Weekly Music Video Podcast, released every Wednesday at wmvp.blogspot.com. You can also listen to my audio podcast, Ourobouros Podcast released every Saturday at ourobouros.co.uk
THIS is a fricken fantastic music video. Watch watch watch!
