Top 100 Videos since Christ has died, Christ has Risen, Christ will come again

Hello, BoF here. To clear the air, no, I'm not going with bbClap to any Vh1 meetings about his show "Work Sucks". I'm not involved in that endeavor. Sure, we write for the same blog sometimes, but I have no interest in office humor.

Like I told bbClap, "The only thing that sets apart your "workplace sitcom" from all the others is that it has a talking, horny ceiling tile that wants to give blowjobs to people"

he said "Uh, yeah...I know to-the-power of Duh."

What an asshole, huh?

Anyway, while he's gone to New York, I decided to make a list of music videos for the readers of this blog. I feel we're gonna owe it to you. Because, and I may be wrong, I have a feeling bbClap is either not going to keep up with his usual posting, or he's going to only post "updates" from his adventures with trying to set into motion a sitcom whose only redeeming quality is that it has a character that is a ceiling of an office who is, for whatever reason, alive and, worse, horny.

Godspeed, bbClap, you don't deserve any of this, but that's not gonna stop you.

anyway, enjoy these videos, this should tie us over for a while:

Naive New Beaters "live good"

Department of Eagles "No one does it like you"

Future of the Left "The hope that house Built"

Liam Lynch "Goat Rap"

A2 "Tea with the Queen"

Peter Fox "Alles Neu"

Late of the Pier "Heartbeat"

Black Lips "Katrina"

Peter Bjorn & John "It don't move me"

Fever Ray "If I had a heart"

White Lies "Death"

Fever Ray "When I grow up"

De Staat "Evolution"

Kasabian "Vlad the Impaler"

You! "I hate you"

DeichKind "Luftbahn"

New Music Video from BoF

Birds, here, with a brand es-spanking new Video de Musica for you.

Our Mother-Ship, Birds On Fire Filmsmiths, has just released its newest effort, a music video for The Black and White Years. The track is called "Zeroes and Ones". Hope you like it:

to watch in HD, go here: HD Vimeo BWY's ZnO's


The Black and White Years - "Zeroes and Ones" from birds-on-fire films on Vimeo.


just some fun (or maybe lame, if you're gonna be a dick about it) facts:

-The Black and White Years are from our hometown of Austin, Texas. Their album, The Black and White Years LP, is available from Brando Records.
-We shot this video on our friends', Barney and Alison, free-range chicken farm, justly named Barnison Farm.
-This video marked a first for many things, but the most fun was that it was a first for most the band members to shoot a gun.
-Although we had to rely on some very nice animation from BoF member, Joe Nicolosi, a lot of the "glowing" fx were actually practical effects brought out by using E.L. Wire and Retro-Reflective paints, vinyl, and fabrics.
-Since Retro-Reflective materials require that you place a light source on the same plane and angle as your camera (in other words, right next to your camera) in order to reflect back at your camera and create a glow effect, BoF laid most their lights to rest for the farm shoot and went with a more "Cops" feel...using an on-board camera/light rig and lots of hand-held camera work.
-E.L. Wire and Retro-Reflective materials are not easy to work with, no sir. But, we plan on working with both on larger scales soon, yes mam.
