When discovering a new act that lends their name to either sociopathic tendencies or simply a curious fascination in laying to rest a random unknown, A Place To Bury Strangers certainly keeps your wits about you. As their mystifying inclination envelopes you with their dark gutteral melodies in upcoming album Exploding Head, SS decided to convince you a little further of this band's luring insight with the personal tough. Enter APTBS's Jono, guilty of the rippling bass guitar undertones in the band, all charmed to deliver his six favourite videos, from homage to a drum-less Ringo Starr, to glorifying a singing waif painted with the words "HELL" on his concave chest. Ah, let the eccentricity commence!
The Beatles: Paperback Writer
Jono: I believe it's one of the first ever music videos ever made and it's the Fab Four. And they look so fucking cool. I love the way Ringo's just sitting there because there's no drum kit and they're not even self conscious.
The Beastie Boys: Sabotage
Jono: There has to be one Spike Jonze video. Vic Colfari as Bobby, "The Rookie"? Need I say more?
Pink Floyd: Astromony Domine
Jono: Loud music and flashing lights. Interesting. These guys could go far.
The White Stripes: Fell In Love With A Girl
Jono: Mind blowing. Michel Gondry is a genuis. Possibily the second best music video ever.
The Birthday Party: Nick the Stripper
Jono: The best music video ever made. Over 25 years old. Still interesting, exciting and vital. And weird. Porca Dio.
