Keith Schofield's music video for The BPA's 'Toe Jam' feat. David Byrne & Dizzee Rascal is hilarious and clever. It features many nude people, but it is endearingly sort of safe for work.

Update: Just FYI, The BPA is Fatboy Slim's new alias. (3) #

Turning an Obama speech into a music video is a damn good idea, especially when Scarlett Johansson and Common are involved. This is where politics meets Starbucks. (thx, doorframe) (23) #

Presidential candidate Mike Gravel continues to entertain, this time with a spoken word music video that's light on substance. I've come to appreciate his sentiments but his approach is all wrong (except for my own amusement). (via andrew sullivan) (2) #

The music video for Buckethead's "Spokes On The Wheel of Torment" is an animated version of the "Hell" panel of Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights. Enjoy. (thx, greg) (4) #

The Whitest official Kanye West music video, ever. Will Oldham makes a good posse of one. And I hadn't heard of Zach Galifianakis before, but the quotes section here is hilarious. (via bb) (2) #

Pitchfork's unranked Top 25 Music Videos of 2006. Many great videos here, some of which I've linked to before, but of the ones I haven't seen, I liked this Basement Jaxx video the best, mostly because I like dancing bears. (1) #

"The Sad Song" video by Fredo Viola, created entirely using 15 second jpg movies from a Nikon digital camera. One part video mosaic, one part, er, Ze Frank. (thx, phaelam) (0) #

Michel Gondry's latest Metropolis-loving, reality-juggling music video for "Cell Phone's Dead," off Beck's new album. (thx, flea) (6) #

A kaleidoscopically beautiful fan video for "Satellite Icarus Anthem" by Boards of Canada. It's all about birds and steam. (0) #

A music video with choreographed dancing on treadmills. It almost looks like they're rollerskating when their walking down several treadmills. (via kottke) (1) #

Music video for Thom Yorke's "Harrowdown Hill", a song about the mysterious death of UN Weapons Inspector David Kelly. The video uses quite a bit of tilt-shift photography. Update: Seems like YouTube has taken the video down. I'll keep my eyes open for another online copy. Update 2: I've updated the link. Thanks, Ingen. (4) #

Chris Cunningham's latest music video: "Sheena is a Parasite." Perhaps his most conventional video yet, perhaps not. (2) #

Pitchfork Media's 100 Awesome Music Videos feature has collected 100 YouTube clips of various music videos of the past several decades. Two parts nostalgia, one part art. (9) #

Kel McKeown has edited together three musical instructional videos to create a new music video. A friend describes it as "plunderphonics meets video editing." (thx, bl!p) (3) #

A neat Boards of Canada video short marketing their new EP, Trans Canada Highway, coming out later this month. NSFW. (5) #

Remember Joe Kittinger, the guy who skydived from space? Boards of Canada have released a music video of Dayvan Cowboy based on the footage of his jump. (4) #

Why? -- Rubber Traits. Because I like linking to strange and interesting music videos. I feel like there's been a music video rennaissance in the past two years, fueled by the Michel Gondry Director's Label DVD. (1) #
