Editors Note: In the hopes of giving some up-and-coming directors and artists some love, we are starting a Video Round Up feature which is basically what it sounds like. We take a handful of the videos we received in the mail that week and say a few words and rank them according to whatever we feel is important at the moment. Check the clips out and then tell us what you think. Show us some love. We also recommend anything but YouTube.

4th Place: Taken By Trees – Sweet Child O’ Mine (Dir:???)

While I love the track — a somber, tasty cover of Sweet Child O’ Mine. Somehow three and a half minutes of a dog grooming video just doesn’t cut it for me. I completely get the reference that the dog is her child but that doesn’t make the video any better. Plus what’s with the doctor jerking the dog’s head towards the end. Not cool, not cool.

3rd Place: Mixel Pixel – Fake Girlfriend (Dir: Radical Friend)

“A virtual reality serenade.” That’s gotta be disappointing. Wouldn’t that just be like RL. You would pay all that money for a show without an ending. Plus this guys fake girlfriend kinda looks like his keyboardist. Just me?

2nd Place: Fiago – myTV (Dir: shotshotshot)

Can you call this video a performance music video? I’m not really sure. I’d imagine it would be something like that in real life minus the moving TV screens. Although I cannot read a word on their webpage and they sing in English, I love that. No embed video for now but take the moment out of your busy blogging lifestyle to watch it.

1st: Yeasayer – Wait for the Summer (Dir: Mixtape Club)

Laddies and Gentleman, welcome to quality. Meaning, plot, understanding; these things can all be sacrificed when we have amazing quality. This video and track are woven together perfectly to make one beautiful harmony of a music video. Those space shots are top notch. This video is worth everyones’ time. So stow your tray tables in the locked and upright positions and you’re welcome.
