Radiohead video director Michel Gondry lists his favorite 25 music vids

The video for “Knives Out” is a weird one. Most directors who attempt to “film” a nightmare or fever dream usually make it contrived, throwing a lot of crazy images on screen and proclaiming it surreal. Michel Gondry’s video actually feels like a dream, with Thom Yorke at the center of it. It’s certainly strange, but the persistent anxiety in the video fits perfectly with the song. The best part is undoubtedly at about 1:40, when Yorke looks under the covers of his bed and sees a family seated around a table, eating his body, apparently.

Regardless, if you’re a fan of Gondry’s brilliant visions, you should see Entertainment Weekly’s compilation of his 25 favorite music videos. There’s some similarly awesome picks, including Peter Gabriel’s “Sledgehammer,” which never gets old.

If you’re only reading this post because you care about Radiohead, we’ll throw you a bone. Radiohead tickets, along with other concert tickets, are available at Stubhub.com.
