SERGEI MINEAV

i typed russian pop into youtube and somehow i found sergei mineav. he has a bajillion hilar videos but i tried to narrow it down. 'pop music' has a very high energy beginning, with sergei jumping at the camera and playing a huge circular keyboard orbiting around him. it just gets more insane as the vid goes on. 'makarena' is a russian version of the 90s megahit, very bizarre and very entertaining. i love how he mimics the real video with two of him jammin at the microphone dressed like the real macarena guys. his cow print blazer is hot. 'voiaj' is yet another cover of 'voyage voyage' by desireless. i think sergei goes on an imaginary voyage in this video. and i have no idea what the hell is going on in the last video - i just included it so i could label this post an acid wash jam. enjoy.

LOVE IS THE MESSAGE

i haven't posted in a few days because of the holidays but i have a really jamlicious post today to make up for it! i love the 'pickle surprise' video by tom rubnitz but i just recently found this amazing video for his song 'love is the message.' i love all the outfits in the video - i really wanna buy checkerboard and vertical black and white striped blazers now. and i completely forgot about lava lamps. maybe i will put that on my xmas list this year. and that guy with the fringed armbands and cowboy hat kills me. i wanna be at this dance party.

ALS ICH FORTGING

what does it take to make a great music video? four things: keyboards, train tracks, posing men with instruments, and lots of denim. and that's exactly what this video has. i have no idea what 'als ich fortging' means but i know that it's german and i know that people wearing acid wash singing in another language are funny. and might i note i've never seen such a forlorn looking person in acid wash denim, ever. love the varied use of point of view from the train - singer walking toward train, singer sitting on train while band plays instruments on the distant train tracks, keyboard playing while on moving train, keyboard playing on the train tracks. brilliant.
