There was a post in the last year or so of a really over-the-top video from some super patriotic singer. Lots of flags and cheezy pageantry. I remember the guy having long hair and the song was metal ballady. Anyone remember and have a link to what I'm talking about?

I've this near-OCD compulsion to want to put a name to people that catch my eye. In the music video for New Order's "Crystal," who is the lead singer for the fictional Killers band? I can't seem to find any information online aside "...and that's where the real band The Killers came from! Hur hur." Are there any "credits" for the video that could list the names of the people portrayed, or is this a mysterious dead end? [more inside]

Music video song filter: I believe the song/video was released in 1999. The music video consisted of people walking around with batteries strapped to their backs and I believe one of them was in the brain of a mini-robot. The song was on the charts the same time Britney Spears released, "Baby One More Time" but it was dramatically different than anything she would ever put out. I believe it was a male group.

I'm trying to figure out the name of the song or band associated with a music video I saw on New York Noise about a year or so ago. It was an animated music video involving birds flying across the sky for a song that I believe was instrumental. I'm guessing the band might be Icelandic since the song was played when I went to a Bjork festival at a bar in Williamsburg.

I just watched the Scorsese-directed, 17-minute video for Michael Jackson's Bad, released on 1987, and I'm trying to figure out which subway station it was shot in. Most stations looked different back then, of course - there's been a lot of fixing up and adding of art since then. It looks like maybe it could be the 2nd Ave F stop, but it could also be the Broadway/Roosevelt/74th St multi-train express stop in Jackson Heights, Queens. Or.... where? Does anyone know? I haven't been successful finding anything about it via web searching.
