Best Music Videos of September 2014

Watch It

Chromeo "Old 45s" (Dugan O’Neal, dir.)

Screw the usual highway reststop. Here's how it works in a music video:

  • Every woman who stops at a roadside bar is unspeakably hot.
  • The bar itself is just the right mix of vibey and dangerous.
  • The jukebox is spot-on (duh)
  • The singer can rock a pair of trousers like nobody's business
  • Choreographer dance routines will break out
  • The bartender will work his bottle like nobody's business
  • There will be cameos (Haim, Jon "Napoleon Dynamite" Heder)
  • And Napoleon Dynamite will, of course, walk off with the girl

Got it?

The 55 Best David Fincher Music Videos

And by that I mean: These are the 55 music videos that David Fincher has directed. So far.

Indiewire's Playlist Blog compiled them all, ranking them from worst to best. As with all Best/Worst lists, it makes for great/silly arguments.

Best?

They have Madonna "Vogue" at #1, which is hard to argue with, although I would argue that "Express Yourself" is better. 

Worst?

Loverboy "Love Will Rise Again" which you will likely recognize as some Loverbody song other than "Working For The Weekend"

But most surprising here is how many of these videos weren't hits — we're talking lesser singles by various '80s acts like Eddie Money, The Hooters, Foreigner, Rick Springfield, and more Rick Springfield. It wasn't all super smash all-star artists #1 hits all the time. And he was seemingly very loyal to artists, coming back to work with several of them again again. For example, he not only directed the Gipsy Kings video for "Bamboleo" but he also directed another video for "Bamboleo" two years later.

So, check em all out... Chances are you've never seen them all, unless you are very '80s...
