A Series of Tubes

I totally did. Here's more old-school alt videos. You won't know it, but this is going to take me a while to post, because we're live-chatting the Golden Globes on a forum I'm on, and I'm doing this during commercial breaks and categories I don't care about.

1. Massive Attack- Teardrop
Creepy singing fetus! I seem to remember that the puppeteers (I don't think the fetus was CGI) used baby pictures of Liz Fraser of Cocteau Twins (the female singer) when making the puppet for the video.

2. The Breeders- Cannonball
Another example of Why Things Were Better Before: Nowadays if you're a wonam and you want to be in a video, you have to be all scantily-clad and ass-shaking and "hot"-looking. Back in the day, women like the Deals could show up in, like, sweaters and baggy shorts and striped tights and unwashed hair (okay, that I'm against. If you're going to be on film, have clean hair.) and be fucking awesome.

3. The Smiths- How Soon Is Now
Morrissey sings this song like Hedonism-Bot talks.

4. The Dambuilders- Burn This Bridge
Featuring Dave Derby's gigantic mouth. The drummer, Kevin March, is in Hot One now. They rock.

5. XTC- Mayor of Simpleton
I can't say enough good things about XTC. One of the best bands ever.

It only took two hours to find five videos, but there they are.
