No Surprises. Everything you love (or loathe) about Radiohead carries over to the videos they've been leaving in their wake. From the slow burn straight ahead performance clip for "Creep" to the increasingly experimental videos that supported breakthrough albums The Bends and OK Computer and on through the twists and turns of everything that followed.

Although Metallica didn't bother to make a video until their fourth proper album — and then delivered a clip that was over seven minutes long and incorporated scenes with dialogue from the 1971 film Johnny Got His Gun — they did go on to embrace the form and make some of the more memorable hard rock videos to hit the airwaves. The DVD Metallica: The Videos 1989 - 2004 collects all 21 of the band's clips remixed in 5.1 surround sound.
For every commercially successful band, there are at least another 100 — if not 1,000 — left by the wayside. Although some might tell you that most bands don't make it because they're just not good enough, fans and those behind-the-scenes know that failure often stems from a mixture of bad luck, bad timing and bad decisions.
The only thing better than stuff is free stuff. With that in mind, Video Static is please to offer up some copies of the new Sub Pop music video DVD Acquired Taste.
This fairly comprehensive disc compiles some of the label's best music videos from the likes of The Shins, Iron And Wine, The Postal Service, Sleater-Kinney, Rogue Wave, Low, Hot Hot Heat and and other fine bands.
