Eric Wareheim, the “Eric” from “Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!“, is putting together quite a portfolio of memorable music videos. I find that he is very talented at coming up with imagery that matches the sound, feel, and mood of a song, along with making it entertaining. The newest from him is “We Are Water” by one of my favorite newer bands, HEALTH. I really enjoyed this video when I first saw it, and it was only upon further viewings did I notice that Eric Wareheim directed it. It seems like a departure from what he usually does visually, with a far darker tone, but some dark humor thrown in. When do people like this sleep!?! So down below are my favorite videos of his. Here is his youtube channel if you would like to check out everything he has up.
“We Are Water” by HEALTH
“Dancefloor Dale”, the video for Flying Lotus’s “Parisian Goldfish”. This is one of my favorite videos of all time. Its an edited version because youtube keeps ripping it down, but you can see the whole, amazing thing at dancefloordale.com
There is so much more on his youtube channel, just check it the hell out!
Sweet! Unbelievably clear!
I first heard this band when I had a radio show at Southern Oregon University’s radio station. They had their debut album “Mono” (Buddyhead Records, buddyhead.com). I thought it was pretty cool at the time. A few months later I went to see Queens of the Stone Age in support of their Songs for the Deaf album (meaning Nick Oliveri was still their bass player, which was when they were best), and The Icarus Line were there as an unannounced opener (along with Dillinger Escape Plan, we also met EVERYONE from Mr. Show at the show as well. Needless to say that show was pretty epic all away around). The Icarus Line were fantastic even though their sound was all fucked up. Been a fan ever since. I will always recommend their second album “Penance Soiree”. The CD and Vinyl versions of the album are different from one another! A few years later, I would be at another show in Portland, Oregon, this time seeing Big Business/Red Sparowes/Pelican and we would run into these LA dudes just hangin out in the crowd! Turns out the drummer of this band lives in Portland and is also in a pretty bitchin band called Black Elk.
This is a video for one of my favorite Icarus Line songs, “Slayer”. The video is weak as fuck and it appears the director of it is a hack, but the song is great.
This is the video for the opening song off of my favorite Icarus Line album and one of my favorite albums of all time, “Penance Soiree”
SMOKESOMEDRUGS and get into these dudes!
Why arn’t there more songs about trains? What about Blueberries? Yummm
WHY DONT THEY MAKE VIDEOS LIKE THIS ANYMORE? I have to smoke tons of drugs just to tolerate the ones nowadays.
My favorite track off of the ultimately disappointing Sun That Never Sets DVD. I still would smoke drugs to it any day.
THIS REALLY MAKES ME WANT TO SMOKE SOME DRUGS
Not a bad freestyle at all and funny too.
This song is great, and the movie is cheesy as they come.
