At the time when this music video was created it was very different to anything else around at the time. I like the originality of his video and I think it is impressive as there were limited special effects when it was made. It was videos like this that made music videos so popular and inspired more artists to start creating videos to accompany their singles.1.1) LUST FOR LIFE Girls
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuoTjYYqe4cGIRLS are a 5 piece indie-rock band from San Francisco. 'Lust For Life' was their first single and they created this video for it. I like the video as it has a very antique and vintage feel to it. The video is very simple but yet really reinforces the bands indie/creative image.
