Videos that should be seen ( but rarely are)

I know that one can do a lot of searching on YouTube for obscure bands and come up with a lot, but other times nil. I listen to the Current but also run into many in odd ways also. I will go through some videos that are unique, creative, and yet still entertaining.

Mates of State - this band is awesome. I can't decide which video of theirs to put here, but will put one that perhaps is a good intro to them. I do like "Like you crazy" and "Fraud in the 80'S' Also. I can't remember where I read this, but someone described seeing them live and said they are practically making out through their music. They are a band to watch!

This is a bit zany, but it HAS to be seen! Imagine a disco music video with muppets! Yes, I know. Interesting. But I think the level of work in syncing the muppets with this song is incredible! And quite a creative endeavor!

Bat for Lashes is a bit Björk-like. Maybe that is why I dig her so much? But I like this video because it's dark, creepy, but has a simple beat and is emotional. It is also deserving of being seen, and perhaps is one of the best independent music videos of 2007.

Scissor Sisters are big in Europe and the UK. I didn't know who they were, and was introduced to them by watching Doctor Who with the evil Master singing to their tunes. Anywho, they are disco-like. I'd say they are like a newer Bee Gees.

Anywho, hope y'all enjoy them!
