Radiohead “Karma Police”

Going back to my somewhat forgotten favourite videos on a Tuesday idea heres an old favourite in Radiohead’s “Karma Police” great song with a great video directed by Jonathan Glazer, previously responsible for Radiohead’s “Street Spirit (Fade Out)” clip. The video premiered in August 1997 and featured Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke as well as Hungarian actor Lajos Kovács. Glazer won MTV’s Director of the Year award in 1997 for his work on this, as well as Jamiroquai’s “Virtual Insanity”. Glazer however revealed in an interview that he considers this video to be a failed attempt. According to MTV.com, Glazer had pitched the concept of the “Karma Police” video months earlier to Marilyn Manson, who disliked it.

“One (Your Name)”

UNKLE (feat. Radiohead/Thom Yorke) “Rabbit in Your Headlights”

Directed by John Glazer this is certainly up there with my favourite music videos of all time (songs pretty fucking good as well), 4.23 is one of the coolest things i’ve ever seen.

Anyway this week I am going to kick things off with Michael Jackson’s “Leave Me Alone”, its scrapbook style stop frame animation is incredibly charming, and what a tune takes me straight back to life without public hair.
