A music video director documents a tambourine player and his manager's ridiculous scramble for a last-minute gig at America's largest music festival. This semi-scripted rock comedy/mockumentary is a love letter to, independent music. Feat. 20+ live festival performances by such indie favorites as The Polyphonic Spree, Tokyo Police Club, The Mooney Suzuki, Greg Ashley, and many more.

From Broadway World:

"SCUMBaG is a mix of beautifully unbridled rawness and montages that takes the viewer on a vigorous journey into the center of NiGHTMARE BOY's psyche. The film saw his teaming up once again with director Joe Rubalcaba who had previously directed the music video for "Chivarly is Alive and Well and Living in Glasgow."

"As if their name wasn’t enough to tip you off, The Sword like to do two things: make references to myths and fantasy, and blast your ears off with eruptions of fiery metal. Video: 'Maiden, Mother & Crone'."
Album: Gods Of The Earth
Label: Kemado Records

From Pitchfork.com:

"NiGHTMARE BOY is Barrie-James O'Neill of the band Kassidy, best known for his collaborations with Lana Del Rey. (He's also her ex-boyfriend.) O'Neill co-wrote "Brooklyn Baby" on Ultraviolence and duetted with Del Rey on a cover of "Summer Wine".

Today, Pitchfork.tv presents the video for "Chivalry Is Alive and Well and Living in Glasgow," directed by Joe Rubalcaba and stars Holly Marilyn Solem (of the TV show "Hand of God")."

Vicky Cryer is Jason Hill (Louis the XIV), Dominic Howard (Muse) and Mark Stoermer (the Killers).

From SPIN Magazine:

"In the clip, the band actually plays underwater while synchronized swimmers do amazing things with glowsticks and gold lamé suits. It’s a trippy, sax-addled journey into the depths orchestrated by a man with a real flare for rock’n’roll strangeness. Oh, and tell your boss to relax — that’s only mannequin boob."

Now this punch drunk grinning soul, in it's corner begs no more.
"Lyrics made more haunting by Flogging Molly's new music video for their single, 'Punch Drunk Grinning Soul'. Originally penned as an allegorical biography about a young man who unexpectedly committed suicide, the video takes the theme one step further and applies it to a malady faced by millions of people the world over post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD. "

"A live-action/animated hybrid that has The Willowz taking chase through a whacked out amusement park in search of their beloved bass player, Jessica."

From Rolling Stone Magazine 40th Anniversary Issue: 

#2 on the Hot List: "In this deeply messed-up video for a psycho riff-rock tune, a My Little Pony doll trots off to Hollywood to be a hooker, then turns into a flying, laser-eyed horse-demon. Hey, These Arms Are Snakes - can we have some of whatever shit you're on?"

From EDM.com:

"By placing cameras throughout the festival, Ticketmaster was able to put together a video that showcases Beyond Wonderland in a way unlike any other. From the few first early risers to hit the festival, to the jaw-dropping mountain landscape, to the awe-inspiring performers, to glimpses of sets by Tchami, Oliver Dollar, and Hardwell, Ticketmaster and Beyond Wonderland did a fantastic job of giving a fresh perspective on a festival recap video, and it’s epic."

April O’ Neil (Lauren McFall) sits down with her close and wise friend, Master Splinter, to ask for dating advice on a mysterious new man. Taking his advice may mean the difference between life or death…for one of them.

A.I. generated visuals intercut with a BBC Radio 2 interview featuring Oasis’ Noel Gallagher, where he recounts a surreal New Year’s Eve run-in with the legendary Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones. According to Instagram Insights, this 30-second video has been watched for over 48 days and has been played over a quarter of a million times.

The very first A.I. video I ever created—and I’ve been hooked ever since. Made back in July 2023, when the tools were still pretty basic…but I still love its Raw Power.

These images were originally created for Theo Von’s podcast, This Past Weekend, with special guest Bobby Lee. The episode has earned over 8,000,000 views, and the Instagram post has racked up over 500,000 likes..

"Danica is far past her 'Wonder Years' roots, having earned a math degree from UCLA over a decade ago and has since written several top-selling books aimed at teaching students how to not suck at math. It’s turned out to be a little bit of a life’s mission for her, and she even has a YouTube show about it now called “Math Bites.” Episodes are out on the Nerdist channel, and NMR gives it our highest recommendation of … um, a lint ball, two thumb tacks and a Steel Reserve can full of tears — sorry, it’s all we have at the NMR “offices” these days.
