A personal favourite – especially live- was the 3D's version of Brian Eno's magnificent "Baby's on Fire". It was released as the flip side to "Outta Space"

The Eno version is fab- and this video (from the MIT Experimental Color Studio) wonderfully weird. And…

Why does NZ on Screen always have to post things at such a low resolution?

I think it might just be down to what the standard res was when the site was built back in 2008. But it might also have something to do with some rights holders not wanting…

This track has to be one of the most sampled songs from the 80s. Having just scored the original 7”, thanks to Peter M’s spotting abilities, thought it was interesting to look at three versions in a row.

I mean the last one is kind of a version, innit?

Oh man, you played Weller, and I went down the rabbit whole.

Inspired by the Randa video, here's another one that was set at the Point Erin Pool, "The Pool" by the Reduction Agents. The Parnell Baths are a more popular location for music videos, but the Pt Erin videos tend to be weirder.

I'm stoked to see "Asian Paradise" online. It looks gorgeous! And weirdly enough, the colour palette, lighting and general style of the video is the sort of thing enjoying a bit of a revival at the moment. Go, Sharon!
