Perfection in Music Video Form

Perhaps I've been living under a rock, BUT HAVE YOU SEEN THIS VIDEO?! (Aussies and Kiwis, I'm not talking to you. Of course you have. You and your lilting synth pop and gorgeous videos!)

This video is my boyfriend because:
1) It's set in Asia
2) It's slightly ridiculous, yet simultaneous beautiful
3) It's the perfect summer pop song, all dance-y and sweet.

I'm quickly falling in love with Empire of the Sun not only because of their fantastic new wave songs, but also because of their fantastically Anthro-Fashion look. Another video is set in Mexico and involves fabulous feathered headdresses and cowboy shirts!

What fantastic music videos do you love that we need to know about?

head to YouTube, and search "Her Morning Elegance". It's the most transfixing little stop-motion video, and the song is pretty too.

Those guys are like a modern day combo of Adam Ant and Boy George. The jacket on the curly head is Oh So Very Adam Anty.

I love this song, but never saw the video for it. It is such a great video!

Oh oh oh! I get to suggest music!

The two band members, Nick Littlemore and Luke Steele have respective other bands, Pnau and Sleepy Jackson. They're very good, and quite similar to this in a lot of ways. To start off I'd put "Embrace" and "Good Dancers" into YouTube.

And the singer in Embrace has her own band Ladyhawke. She too is great.
