Media Guerilla

Tony Kaye (American History X) directed the new video for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, called "Dani California". The song is taken from their new album Stadium Arcadium (due May 9th). The music sounds like all of the other bland music they've been putting out post-Blood Sugar Sex Magik, but even on youtube's horrible resolution, I can still tell this video is pretty cool, featuring the RHCP in a pastiche of music videos, including The Beatles, Nirvana, Prince...and is that Avril Lavigne?

This is the first work from Tony Kaye in the eight years since his public battle with Miramax over AHX.

I'm sure I'm VERY late on this, but I finally saw Kanye West's video for Heard Em Say, by Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind). I thought it was really great. You can download a .mov file here:

Kanye is definitely on my list to see at Lollapalooza this year.
