Continuing from our earlier year end lookback, we present 120 minutes of music videos pulled from our 31 Songs playlist.
We kick things off with The Hives and their zombie-riffic lead single, Bogus Operandi, from the Death of Randy Fitzsimmons. Iggy Pop makes an appearance as Strung Out Johnny. Peter Gabriel gets youth-ified in The Court. And The Damned bring some spycraft to film as The Invisible Man.
Mixed amongst the legends you’ll find Sports Team brining their swagger to The Drop. Cate Blanchett cameos in the new Sparks video,The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte. Nikki Lane broadcasts her 1-800 direct line to an independent life. And Ben Folds shares a carefully staged reenactment of some of his early adventures.
Finally, enjoy some live performances from Angélique Kidjo, Rachael Price, Cowboy Junkies, and Samara Joy (to name a few).
Enjoy!
