Music videos and Bjork

The Times has an article in Sunday's paper taking the form of a round-table discussion with Spike Jonze, Chris Cunningham, and Michael Gondry. Coincidentally, all have worked with Bjork. Not-so-coincidentally, all have released anthologies of their video work. Cunningham has long been one of my favorite directors working in the music video field ever since his Kama Sutra meets industrial robots video for Bjork's "All is Full of Love." I also love the video he did for Squarepusher's "Come on my Selector." You can learn more about Cunningham here. I seem to remember this site having links to the videos in the past but it seems those are now unfortunately missing. You can find some of Gondry's and Jonze's work for Bjork here, but unfortunately not Cunningham's. (Incidentally, I do really like Jonze's video for "It's Oh So Quiet" with it's sunny 40s movie musical numbers and Gondry's for "Human Behavior," with the giant teddy quite a bit as well.)
