"Walk out of any doorway/Feel your way like the day before/Maybe you'll find direction/Around some corner where it's been waiting to meet you."
As the world gets stranger than fiction every single day, we're reporting to you from a nearby timeline where things have stabilized considerably. The turbulence in the rest of the universe is pretty severe at the moment, probably having something to do with the Age of Aquarius rising at the same time as the lost continent of Atlantis.
In less cataclysmic news, we have a dandy new collection of Unofficial (though no less compelling) Music Videos made by folks remarkably like yourself, hailing from all points Rand-McNally, and competing for the hotly contested Barclay Award for Excellence in Independent Video Arts. Here now, are August's Top Five videos (Note: Due to several of our original Top 5 being removed from YouTube™ there are only two videos here).
1. Producer: Derek Newman
Artist: Françoise Hardy
Song: "Comment Te Dire, Adieu?"
Category: Narrative
Not much to say here, other than "Bravo." Derek Newman deliciously blends cheek, horror, and lampoonery to sensational effect. Ladies, these savage self-improvement steps are the ticket to a better, more beautiful you. Available now, at the low introductory price of your mortal soul!
2. Producer: Living Legends Productions
Artist: Gorillaz
Song: "Hillbilly Man"
Category: Narrative
It's a Close Encounter of the Doll Kind! This Toytown take on alien abduction appealed to our appreciation of low-budget filmmaking, alá Ed Wood and Todd Haynes. You know, the lamestream media never reports this stuff. Ken and Barbie dolls go missing all the time. Remember when they were everywhere? So where did they all go?
