The OS X desktop as music video - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)

the song is kinda catchy too, and the girl is cute.

While I disagree with using the superlative "WVAR", it definitely is a very cool and creative music video. Props to the guy who came up with that idea.

At 2:22, I guess he decided that it needed more cowbell.

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

Very cool. This was the first time I'd heard of the group, let alone heard their music, and the style of the video really complemented the music. Very interesting, lovely music, and very "fresh."

Very nice. I really liked the iTunes purchase ending.

I'll admit that I expected this to be incredibly stupid, but that was actually pretty freakin' creative.

Yeah, hmmm, I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree with Turtle on that one.

I agree. I only lasted 30 seconds or so. Was there a point to this one?

Thats better Peter. Their "With Love and Squalor" album is pretty good. Reminds of the 80s a bit though.

A modified version of the video would make an interesting Mac ad.

I dunno about a music video so much though.

Cool video. A lot of work went into it and it shows.

I think this is a pretty cool music vid done on an old Apple machine.

Jed's Other Poem (Beautiful Ground) Music Video

Found this a few years ago, I think it's just great.

These people have WAAAAAY too much time on their hands. What do they do, create the video in slow motion and then speed it up?

Eleventy billion one. You never get it on a nice even number like that.

I did see this before though, and it really is a great video.

Oh, and I agree with macfan; catchy song, cute girl.
