Guest Curator : three videos selected and commented by Selebrities :
1 – Siouxsie And The Banshees – “Kiss Them For Me”
“You can tell they made this video for like a grand, but the lighting and shots are so stern and dramatic that it comes off more expensive. And works with the song perfectly. This is what a SELEBRITIES video should look like,strobes and slo-mo and stern looks. Maybe even throw the Mtv logo on it, for novelty value.”
2 – The Wake – “Talk About The Past”
“Call me boring but I enjoy a good video where all I see is the band playing. I want to be there! I can’t think of how many times I’ve watched this one. The close ups are incredible. Overall a simple beautiful video.”
3 – Daft Punk – “Around The World”
“Classic. The ultimate costume/dancing video. Everything about it is perfection.”
