This Week In Music Videos

This week we’re joined by Sami Kriegstein of the Los Angeles Music Video Festival (LAMVF) to break down the many layers of the new Jenny Lewis video, the many paint splatters of an amazing Garth Brooks 1994 video, and the many questions over how a Lamborghini taxi got into a Nicki Minaj video.

We’re joined by director/producer Chris Black to talk about Tidal premieres, Taylor Swift breaking Nicki Minaj’s Vevo record, and whether or not Pharrell is on a Egypt kick.

This week it’s all about Cameron Duddy’s director collaborations with Iggy Azalea and Bruno Mars, Catholic school, what year the NES came out, and whether or not you should root for a kid who murders a bunch of random people in cold blood. Vimeo’s Director of Production Andrea Allen joins us to break it down.

You know it's a good week when you get not one, but two shot-for-shot remakes of classic 90s music videos. You also get a new Michel Gondry music video. And a video where Miley Cyrus plays cards with Zoe Kravitz in her underwear. Join us as we break it all down.

This week it’s all around good news! The new Alabama Shakes album is great, and the first video is great as well! HARRYS is back with another Toro y Moi video! And the new Muse video is, well, dusty. And Sia is trying to convince everyone her Heidi Klum music video was just an ad. I guess we oversold how good the new was up top. Sorry.

Doug and Adam celebrate the 10th anniversary of YouTube by talking about the impact its had on the world of music videos. Plus, the Bjork MOMA exhibit and new videos from Sia and J Cole.

Does it matter where a music video premieres? This week we dig into the new trend of music videos premiering in places like Meerkat and Tidal. Plus, we talk about new videos from Tyler, The Creator, and Madonna.

Andrea Allen, Director of Production at Vimeo, joins us to talk about the Spice Girls vs. Meghan Trainor, how hard Taylor Swift got down to Kanye’s BRIT Awards performance, and what body parts you can highlight with a thermal camera.

Is Tom Hanks cool? Yeah, he’s cool, but is he really cool? Cool enough to be in a Carly Rae Jepsen video? That is one of the many deep, burning questions we explore on this week in music videos.

This week, Hozier, Bob Dylan, and Action Bronson battle for our affection while Jennifer Hudson arrests Iggy Azalea for fake driving.

This week it’s all about the big questions - what color is the dress? Can you break your own neck? Is pizza better than puppies? We ponder all of these questions and more and we check out this week’s music video releases.

Chaos reigns this week in music videos - Taylor Swift is getting her sexy artsy side out, Ariana Grande desperately wants to get to a roof, Sleater-Kinney is playing with the Bob’s Burgers kids, and half human/half cartoon characters are having firework sex. All that and more!
