by | December 18th, 2012

Time magazine put out its list of the 9 Best Music Videos of the Year today, and coming in at #2 is the video for Aimee Mann's "Labrador," directed by none other than comedian and host of The Best Show on WFMU, Tom Scharpling. In case you missed the video when it debuted in September, here it is embedded above, starring Aimee Mann as herself and Jon Hamm as sleazy music video director Tom Scharpling. Coming in second place behind "Gangnam Style" is quite an accomplishment, considering how wildly popular that thing is, and it's great to see Scharpling finally get some credit in an esteemed publication [...]

Has anyone ever had more fun than these people? Seriously. This is the most fun ever had. (Watch the behind the scenes after the jump.) All fun, from here on forth, should be measured in terms of this music video. "Hey bro, how was the party last night?" "Oh, pretty OK. Like 15% the 'Do It Anyway' video."

Peter Serafinowicz Directed the New Hot Chip Music Video and Cast Reggie Watts in it and I Don't Get It

by | May 21st, 2012

Here's the new music video from Hot Chip, directed by Peter Serafinowicz and featuring Terence Stamp, Reggie Watts and Lara Stone. In it, Stamp leads a group of dancing monks and Watts and Stone fight in a couple of spaceships. I think? I'll be honest, I have no clue what it all means. I think I preferred his last effort for Hot Chip, which was easier to follow and also much more unsettling in the best way possible. But this one's still fun and the song is catchy, so I suppose it doesn't really matter. But please, if you've got a deep reading of this thing, feel [...]

by | November 1st, 2012

Tom Scharpling directing hilarious, polished videos for indie rockers is nothing new, but he continues to excel with the form.

The video stars Gibbard and Kurt Braunolher (with cameos from Twitter's Julieanne Smolinski and UCB improviser Jim Santangeli).

Jon Glaser Is One Well-Groomed Magician

by | July 16th, 2012

Look at that man. He's flawless. Well, other than the fact that he has a goatee and he wears a red vest. But that's it. Otherwise, he is perfect. His ear hair is neatly trimmed. He has his ta-dah poises locked down. It's good to see him without his Delocatd mask on for a change. You know what? I bet those aren't even tricks. I think Jon Glaser is actually capable of doing magic. [Via]

The Complete "Weird Al" Music Video Library

by | May 17th, 2012

For nearly three decades “Weird Al” Yankovic has been the unparalleled master of song parody. With over 150 songs in his repertoire, he's taken on nearly every musical genre and pop culture reference imaginable. He's also created a venerable roster of hilarious and memorable music videos. When MTV was just starting out, Al became one of the first people to inject humor into the relatively new art form. And as music videos became more sophisticated, so did Al's.

Part of the appeal of Al's videos is seeing him slip into the roles of the artists he's parodying. By becoming Kurt Cobain or Lady Gaga, he tears down the artifice [...]

Tom Scharpling Totally Nailed this Aimee Mann Video, Man

by | September 18th, 2012

That's what's so fun about radio: You have no idea what the host looks like. Who would've guessed Tom Scharpling was such a hunk? He is also super great at shooting shot for shot remakes of 'Til Tuesday videos. Watch the original video for "Voices Carry" after the jump. It's identical but with less glasses and beards.
