WATCH IT (Again): Kanye "Power" - Marco Brambilla directors cut

I've already said all I think I can say about Kanye West "Power" — unless you're interested in a really rudimentary discussion of the Sword Of Damocles and the other classical symbology in this video portrait — so I'll just point out the differences between this director's cut and the official TV version. The big addition is the inclusion of stuff you can't air on TV — nudity, curses — but this version has some more interesting changes, especially when you consider the different intents of a purely artistic piece vs something that had to serve certain commercial interests (as almost all music videos do).

WATCH IT: Dev "Booty Bounce" (Ethan Lader, dir.)

Fashions change fast, but not as fast as they do in this precision-driven clip directed by Ethan Lader. Electro newcomer Dev and several duplicates appear and then disappear with alternating outfits in an edit that accentuates nearly every key beat of the song. --> watch "Booty Bounce"
