Up Yours, Cartoon Britney!
It's a vexatious problem for record companies, how best to make a video for a forthcoming single when you can't necessarily rely on the artist to make an appearance. This could be for a variety of reasons, touring commitments, family commitments, something good on the telly on the day of filming...but whatever the situation, you have to be able to think as creatively as the people who made just at the point at which the media was about to unleash the hell-hounds for her eternal soul (or something).
As creatively as THIS, for example...
KT Tunstall - 'Little Favours'*
This kind of works too, even if the trick of stringing together silly footage of politicians and setting it to music has been done to death by YouTubers the world over.
Coldplay - 'Violet Hill'
And this is just a really, really cute video idea. It suits the song down to the ground, and should be of some comfort to anyone who has a really dreary job. The Enemy might rage and moan at McJobs, but do they shimmy? Do they prance? Do they pretend to ride a sign like they are on a horsey? They do not...
Elbow - 'One Day Like This'
* There's a nice feature on the making the KT Tunstall video on the . It's a great blog anyway, so g'wan, treat yourself!
