Mylène Farmer - Peut-être toi: recently I had the brilliant idea of looking up Mylène Farmer PMVs on Youtube - those I haven't seen yet, that is. The first thing I found was a clip she did in 2005 with Production IG and Geneon USA. orz
It's not particularly entertaining, though, compared to gems such as the following:
L'ame-Stram-Gram: real WTFLOL!Japanphilia.
California: I once tried to write BL origfic loosely based on this plot.
Fuck Them All: Mylène Farmer's never acknowledged as a visual-kei j-rock predecessor; neither are Strawberry Switchblade. But they are. AND SHE IS.
QI: French - the NSFW language.
Que mon coeur lache: in which the Son of God kills Michael Jackson, but it's an accident. I think.
Je te rends ton amour: I'M NOT EVEN SURE WHAT'S GOING ON HERE.
I could go on like this indefinitely but it's better to stop. XD
Led Zeppelin - Since I've Been Loving You: it's surprisingly difficult to find Led Zeppelin vids on Youtube, because for every clip of actual LZ there are about 1,320 clips of tribute bands and/or "HAY GUYZ I TAPED MYSELF PLAYING LED ZEP ON MY GEETAR". ...Or maybe not surprising.
I've watched all of The Song Remains The Same - piecemeal, several times over - because T's dad puts the tape in whenever there isn't anything else on TV that's good (at least, more immediately compelling than Led Zep in concert). After a while you feel this surge of sympathy for Aoike Yasuko because yr avg Jimmy Page solo is enough time to AU the band three times over let alone the once. AND IT'S AWESOME. There's no way to be ironic about this stuff, not even when the tambourine comes out.
I figure a lot of you peeps my age or younger have never actually seen the young Robert Plant do the hands on hips hair flippy thing so you owe that to yourself at least. XD
EDIT (so I don't lose the link): Alizée - JBG (James Bond Girl). Noir anime fanvid. Best idea ever, or bestest idea ever?
