The QC Weekender: A Few “Queer” Videos

OK, OK, OK… so these videos aren’t “queer” as in homosexual. But they are definitely exceptional and if they were men, they’d probably make out with other men. This time, the QC Weekender keeps you dancing into the new week with four great electronic music videos that are as captivating as they are pleasurable to listen to. Enjoy!

The Future Sound of London: Papua New Guinea – You may remember this song from the soundtrack Greg Araki’s Nowhere. It’s a good track, ambient with good beats. Plus watching the computer animation may remind you that the art form is relatively new. Back in the 90’s video artists were just beginning to combine digital video with desktop computer graphic effects. The result is definitely dated, but truly tripped out. And if you’ve never heard the song before, it’s a goodie.

Hot Chip – Ready for the Floor: Seems like the lead singer of Hot Chip is has a split personality. He has turned into The Joker and has decided to toy around with his band mates using some nasty games like roundabout human Tetris, poison gift guess, and Russian roulette karaoke with a gun-microphone. Hot Chip’s upbeat song and the amazing visuals make the video all fun and games.
Two more fun videos after the jump!

Justice vs. Simian – We Are Your Friends: Real friends don’t abuse their drunken mates to this extent. The videos kinda awesome and ends with a massive payoff. I mean, anything that starts with a warning asking viewers not to repeat what they see has got to be pretty awesome.

Kylie Minogue – Come Into My World: Oh Kylie… is there anything you can’t do? She’s already an international pop sensation and beloved by gay men everywhere, but did you know she can also split herself into five and still enjoy a day out in a small French city? Oh yes, she can. Michel Gondry’s amazingly seamless film wizardry gives her several helping hands. What’s cool is how he integrates all the multiplying elements four times over into the video. It’s a testament to his skill that each time you watch the video, you’ll notice something new. And Kylie’s pretty easy on the eyes and ears too, eh?
