Scene Not Herd

Attended Scene Not Herd, a program of music videos, at the Worldwide Short Film Festival last night. Generally, the selections were good (but uncharacteristically heavy on North American and indie rock content I'm told) and the event is worth adding to your annual must-see list. On the way into the screening we were handed 3-D glasses for the last video of the night, Bjork's Wanderlust. It's been awhile since I've seen anything in 3-D but I wasn't blown away. Thankfully, several other videos did impress. Check out: The Bumblebeez' Dr. Love (humour), Menomena's Evil Bee (visuals), Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton's Our Hell (music and visuals), Utah Saints' Something Good '08 (music and humour) and The New Pornographers' Challengers (music and music). I love this last song so much that setting it against a solid black screen would still rate a seal of approval.
