I had no idea there was country music in the Netherlands. Or that they cruise around in Volvo 245s instead of Ford F150s.

OK Go and their 240
One of the benefits of working at MTV was the free music. Every few months someone in the music department would throw a bunch of promotional CDs in a box and leave it in the hallway for us to pickover. I managed to pick up music from The Used, Mastodon, Coheed & Cambria and Death Cab for Cutie. The premiere EP for Ok Go was an enjoyable listen, and had the cool cover above. Of course, they’ve gone on to make some ground breaking videos, becoming the masters of the one-shot mini film.
Kylie Minougue “Come Into My World”
I dusted off my old Michel Gondry Director Series DVD and was excited to see a couple of bricks in the video for Kylie Minougue “Come Into My World“. The blue brick is a 140, but there’s also a white 200 series parked on one of the side streets. The video isn’t embeddable, so you’ll have to view it on YouTube.
The video is shot as if it’s one camera take, panning 360 degrees as Kyle walks around an intersection. Her route loops when she gets to the chorus, and she repeatedly spawns a clone who follows the same walk from the beginning. It’s some amazing choreography and loops 5 times.
