I should just stick my favorite videos from my favorite bands on here. I think I decided that my three favorite bands are Arcade Fire, Broken Social Scene and Kaki King.
Though not exactly a music video, this Arcade Fire performance inside of a French elevator is mindbogglingly beautiful. Also, I wasn't sure "mindbogglingly" was an official word when I started writing it, but apparently dictionary.com approves it. So be it! Mindbogglingly beautiful performance of Neon Bible:
As for Kaki King, this is the video that introduced me to her about 4 years ago and it was love at first pluck. I was finally able to see her last spring at Pearl Street in Northampton. I bought two tickets hoping that one of my roommates would see her with me, but said roommates turned out to be mindbogglingly disappointing people. I also had SEVERELY sprained my ankle the week before the show (about 3 months after I had SEVERELY broken my foot on the other leg) and I had been home for a week trying to heal a bit. I drove from Framingham to Northampton that fateful Sunday night and dragged my bum leg(s) into Pearl St and stood (painfully) for the show. It was worth it. And she is the smallest person I have ever seen. And absolutely my favorite female musician in the galaxy. So here is Kaki King with Playing with Pink Noise:
I have another post on here about the Broken Social Scene show I saw at the (boooooo!) Wilbur Theater. I was introduced to them back when I was 16, and they've been in the Top 3 ever since. My shoulder hurts from long hours at the bank (ugh...just ugh) so I won't type any more tonight. Ouch ouch ouch, but this is lovely lovely lovely. Fire Eye'd Boy by BSS:
Okay I just found this so one more. I don't think I even need to explain why this one is significant. Behold--David Bowie joins Arcade Fire on Wake Up:
