MORPHO’S MOVIE MAGIC

His Name Is Alive – Can’t Go Wrong Without You
Directed by the Brothers Quay. In high school my friends and I used to stay up all night hoping MTV would play this. I think they played it twice.

Felt – Stained-Glass Windows
Video footage of these guys was virtually impossible to find before Youtube came along. Not their best song ever, but it’s nice.

The Move – I Can Hear the Grass Grow
One of my favorite psych bands. I think this video’s a little out of sync, but the footage is in pretty good shape.

Thelonious Monk – Blue Monk
He was known for pounding the keys so hard he would break the piano strings. So good.

Shocking Blue – Never Marry a Railroad Man
Their singer, Mariska Veres, had such an incredibly Powerful, sexy voice.

Tommy Seebach – Apache
An absolutely ridiculous disco cover of that classic hip-hop
heartbeat, Apache. Maybe not worthy of dublab exposure. It’s kind of terrible, but truly hilarious.

One more thing
Not a music video, but a funny clip of spaced-out Sly trying to land on Earth and have a chat with Dick Cavett.

FROSTY’S FRAMES

the Slits – Instant Hit
Ari Up and her posse of punky reggae ladies get raw in this early video for one of their hottest tunes.

Kraftwerk – We are the robots
What in the what in the what? This is music this is a music video this is it. MTV are you there? VH1 are you alive? Of course not. This kind of gem only arises when people have the power.

Parliament Funkadelic commercials 1980′s
The craziest infommerical you’ve never seen. Actually it’s funky, funny, exciting and unsettling all at once.

Os Mutantes – Panis Et Circenses
Pure pyschedelic bliss. This is Tropicalia as it happened. Youtube has fulfilled my dreams.

Brian Eno & David Byrne – Mea Culpa
Their collaborative album “My Life in the Bush of Ghosts” influenced more music minded folks than I could guess even with a crystal ball. This video takes the creative Eno/Byrne power to an eerie electric level.
