Orbital: “The Box”

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.

Total hat tip to Sploid who just posted the video for “On & On” which uses footage from a Chrance favorite, The Neverending Story.  I was totally going to save it for a weird post later in the week, but the song is so fucking catchy it seems like a perfect pick-me-up for a craptastic Monday.

Check out another excellent DUM song/movie mash-up after the jump.

Every couple of years I’ll get a flash memory of this video.  When it happens, I usually bang my head against the wall trying to remember the name of the artist or even the song title.  But today when the vision of an old woman playing drums, and people dancing in sheets presented itself, so did the song title.  I’m posting the video mostly for the look at this weird-ass video aspect, but also so that if I can’t remember the title against next time, I can just search for “weird” on MNP and come up with this.

Without further ado, please watch this weird-ass video.
