STREET BONERS and TV CARNAGE » SEVEN FAN MUSIC VIDEOS

The era of music videos on TV is ending, but in this age of flailing record sales and cheap technology, fans are taking up the art form with just their digital cameras, computers, and YouTube accounts. These kids are demonstrating that you don’t need a million dollars (remember Kanye’s “Touch the Sky” versus Justice’s “We are Your Friends” at the European MTV awards?) or even be a part of the band to make a good music video. Now it won’t be long before there’s a YouTube Music Video Award Show and drunk Kanye can steal someone’s internet limelight.

Here are a few examples of such fan music videos:

1. LCD Soundsytem “New York I Love You”

Pretty straight forward music video visualizing the song’s lyrics
—

2. Mogwai “The Sun Smells Too Loud”

Made with footage of another music video spliced and edited
—

3. A Silver Mt. Zion “We Are All Trying a Little Too Hard”

One for the intellectual art school kids
—

4. Smashing Pumpkins “Mayonnaise”

Footage take from “Over the Edge” spliced and edited
—

5. Santogold “Shove It”

Created using over 2,000 photographs stitched together
—

6. Diplo “Florida”

Created using over 3,000 photographs stitched together
—

7. The Music Tapes “All Tomorrow’s Parties (Velvet Underground cover)”

Shot on 16mm film

STREET CARNAGE is mostly a website that features street fashion critiques called STREET BONERS and compilations of bad television called TV CARNAGE. The site also has a blog, a radio show, and regularly features video shorts made by Gavin and Derrick.

STREET CARNAGE is also a live presentation you can have in your town where Gavin shows a Street Boners "Best Of" and Derrick shows his latest TV Carnage endeavors.

STREET BONERS will eventually be compiled into a huge book which will feature hundreds of pages of Boners as well as contributions from Chloe Sevigny, Debbie Harry, Fred Armisen, Tim & Eric and many more.

Derrick makes videos for various bands as well as his own movies. His most recent project is called "Cop Movie" and is comprised of about three dozen different cop movies and he also has a workout video coming out that is made up of a million disgusting workout tapes. Gavin does freelance writing for TV, film and magazines and they both do funny acting stuff as well as other hilarious video shit we'll tell you about later. They are both dicks.
