Doug Klinger, Andrea Allen, and Chris Black break down IMVDb's top music videos of 2017.
Wow, where to start this week. Kanyes video featuring fake nude celebs is both the most talked about and most difficult to find video of the week (its exclusive to Tidal). Doug had a rap verse in an OMG song produced by Benny Blanco, Adam A is actively boycotting the show and he refuses to tell us why. Doug dropped a Burdines reference like its 1997. Vine is letting the cool kids make 140 second videos. Joe Stakun directed one of the funniest videos weve ever seen for AJJ. Adam F? Adam F is good, thanks for asking.
This week? Were talking about Dads. Are they part of a generation that skipped by music videos altogether? Doug showed his Dad and Paul McCartney video and his Dad loved it, so theres that. But there are more questions than answers here as we did deeper. Why did Celine Dion look like she was in her mid 40s in 1996, when she was 28? Do Moms care if theyre cool? What is Dad rock? Plus, were talking new videos from Major Lazer (Rupert Burton), Cheerleader (Josh Forbes), and Red Hot Chili Peppers (Olivia Wilde).
This week there are some things you should know. Doug wants you to know what even though he is an avowed Lil Dicky hater, the serious music video Lil Dicky released this week has warmed his heart. Justin Bieber wants you to know his tour was cool, thanks for asking. Selena Gomez wants you to know you should kill em with kindness. Adam Alexander wants you know that Canadas Wonderland used to be owned by Paramount. Adam F just wants you to be happy.
The music video podcast boys are back after a brief hiatus, and they are joined by music video director emeritus Nicolas Heller to talk about Kanye Wests finances, whether Fleur & Manu is really Doug and Nicolas, what THat Part means, and much more.
Its been a rough week. PT Anderson made another music video featuring someone walking (this time, its Radioheads own Thom Yorke). Meghan Trainor had to literally revoke a music video to undo some body alterations. Doug ordered Chick-fil-a on postmates and had to pay for $15 worth of honey mustard he didnt want.
But there is a light at the end of the music video tunnel. We got an awesome video for Panda. We got an interesting video from M. Night Shyamalan. We got a good Radiohead video. Doug got a good tweet out of the Chick-fil-a incident. Join us as we pick up the pieces.
Grab some popcorn (and maybe whatever Jay Z was drinking in the Drunk in Love video) because Beyonce released pretty much what amounts to a feature film to go along with her new album. Doug and Adam break it down, including how difficult it is to find, and how difficult it is figure out who directed what parts. We also got new (free) vids from Florence + The Machine, Tim Heidecker, and Wintersleep.
Bonus: Doug saw Kyle from Brthr on the street and recounts this in detail.
Prince is dead, and you cant watch any of his music videos online (including that one from a few years ago with the breakfast). Harmony Korine made a Rihanna music video where she shots a guy and thats about it. Taylor Swift won't let us see her sweat. Theres a video called Fuck Donald Trump, and we also forgot to mention that Kanye West made the Eric Wareheim / Aziz Ansari Famous video the official version
Do you have boy problems? Thats too bad, because the only boy problem we got is we have too many handsome boys on the podcast talking about music videos. Carly Rae is back in the mix this week, along with Chance the Rapper who is showing off by getting to ride on top of a CTA train. Plus we have a video that we very much wish could be the official video for Famous by Kanye West.
Would you be interested in a music video that contains a lengthy sequence depicting the artist going through airport security? Iggy Azalea has you covered this week as Doug and Adam ponder the big questions. Do you need a boarding pass for a private flight? Would the TSA let you on a plane if you bag is filled with aerosol cans? And thats just one music video, people. This week weve also got a concept video that you have to watch on your phone, a Schoolboy Q video with one of our favorite shots of the year, and more!
This week on the podcast the handsome music video boys are having an existential music video crisis - what is a music video? If you can pay the twerking vine lady $200 to twerk in front of your song and get 1 million loops, will the film aspect of music videos suffer? Its not all introspection this week, though, because theres a new Hiro music video out, and Adam Alexander is really into this Nick Jonas and Tove Lo video.
The handsome music video boys are back in town, and one of them (Doug) has stories to tell from his time at SXSW, including being part of the three-person music video jury. Plus, weve got new videos from Sia, Edward Sharpe, and more!
If one music video is good, how about two music videos? How about two similar music videos back to back for the same song? This week were talking about Rihanna and Drakes sexy double video for Work, a back to back extravaganza that features Drake doing what he does best - have a famous female pop star do some sexy dancing for him. Also were talking about the that music machine video everyone is watching this week, as well as the first non-comedy Jon Lajoie music video.

And most importantly, happy family day.
Beyonce dropped a new video for her single Formation last week, and producer Chris Black noticed there were some shots in that video from a documentary he produced a few years ago.
