I love watching music videos because it's an audio and visual trip. I need to be over-stimulated sometimes.

Some videos are good, some are repulsive and there are some that you can't forget. Here's my list of videos that are both eerie and nostalgic.

- Playground Love ~ Air * what's sweeter than two bubble gum soul mates? *

- Tonight, Tonight ~ Smashing Pumpkins * they didn't win all those MTV awards for nothing*

- Ava Adore ~ Smashing Pumpkins * I have a lesbian crush on D'Arcy *


Don't you?

- Everlong ~ Foo Fighters * Resembles real-life dream sequences accurately. Except that for me, legs don't become logs and my hand doesn't swell to that size *

- Teardrop ~ Massive Attack * A fetus singing about love. The humanity in that *

- Live With Me ~ Massive Attack * This one's ultra poignant because I've seen myself in that blissful inebriated state quite alot. Call me biased but this one stays on my list *

- Sabotage ~ Beastie Boys * This was way before my "time" but I thoroughly enjoyed this video. No 80's detective video comes close *

- Jeremy ~ Pearl Jam * Me and my aunt used to have fun playing the frozen and bloody students at the end of the video. And Vedder's eyes, my goodness *

- Sober ~ Tool * I don't know much of this band's songs and videos but I loved this one. Claymation is love and creepy claymation is more love *

- Weak And Powerless ~ A Perfect Circle * Is it just me or is that woman hot? Besides that, I loved the simplicity of the video *

- I Could Never Be Your Woman ~ White Town * My anthem. So sad. The video was unique too, haven't seen anything like it so far *

- Push Me ~ Garbage * I seriously had dreams of this video so I need to include it in my list. After you've seen it, something sticks somewhere and it becomes hard to completely forget *

- No Rain ~ Blind Melon * Of course, the lonely bumblebee girl. Admit it, it made you smile at the end didn't it? *

Of course, we couldn't forget the classics.

- Take On Me ~ A-Ha * Became the benchmark for the crossover of animation to in-the-flesh videos. Maybe other similar attempts were made before that (I wasn't conceived yet) but this one was done cleanly, way ahead of its time *

Okay, I can't really remember much of the classics right now. It's 3:27AM, help your girl out. I'm no expert, I just want to remind y'all. These things just cross my mind sometimes.
