Video of the Week: Spike Jonze Bleedin’ Genius
It’s impossible to describe the sensation of watching a Spike Jonze music video. That tingle you get down your spine when your brain realizes that it is watching choreographed precision light years better than any other video it’s watched before. He ties beats and sounds with some of the best visually stimulating concepts I’ve seen. In my opinion, his are the hottest videos around - even his outrageous and off-beat stuff like “Weapon of Choice” and “Buddy Holly” have something rare and mystifying.

So, as I write I am thinking, perhaps I have over-hyped his video work. I fear now that I may have set you up for expectations of unrealistic proportions where the simple act of watching his videos will make you look at the world as God does and will put two million dollars in your pocket.
This will not happen.
But it may make you appreciate the eye of an artistic phenomenon whose flare for video excellent pushes the industry forward.
