^ That was Spike Jonze, by the way.

And here's Mark Romanek with Janet Jackson's Got 'til It's Gone, capturing a sixties and seventies vibe of soul and funk:

They are equal part musicians, part visual artists. I think most if not all of their videos are directed by the band. Really creative bunch of guys.

Yep, that's another one of my favorites from them. A lot of their songs put me in a trance-like state.

^ The characters doing the rapping are fantastic to look at, but the video itself didn’t do much for me. I wish they’d made more of the post–apocalyptic looking council estate setting!
