Short and sweet today, but time to share what’s probably my favorite music video ever (though that’s a short list – I can’t remember many off the top of my head). I used to live with a friend who was big into MTV’s Amp, which got me a little bit into it (the MTV’s Amp compilation album is a pretty good mix), and I’m pretty sure that’s when I first saw this. It’s just delightfully weird and Tilda Swinton is awesomely quirky and odd as ever. This also came out when i was an animation student, so seeing a cool live action iteration of techniques probably made this stick with me as well.
