Reminded of Doesn’t Remind Me music video

Every now and then I’ll set the terribly crappy Comcast HD DVR to record MHD Palladia during the overnight hours so I can get a fix on some good hi-def music videos. Sure some of them won’t be hi-def but hey … who’s counting. Come to think of it, CMT HD has been broadcast now for month and months and as far as I can tell (and many others) they haven’t aired a frame of HD content either despite the fact that I know there have been country music videos finished and mastered in HD!! What a waste of bandwidth.
Anyhoo … one of the videos on my last Palladia viewing was director Chris Milk’s Audioslave video Doesn’t Remind Me. I was reminded what an incredibly awesome this music video really is. A great story, snappy editing, gorgeous images and not a frame of performance from the band. It’s a mini movie. Why can’t more videos be told this way? If you have any favorites of this type of video please post a comment. There’s part of the video embeded below from Milk’s Vimeo page but it only seems to load the first couple of minutes of the video (probably by request) so you can click over to see the full thing. You have to watch it to the end for full effect. On the “official” Universal Music Group channel on You Tube they’ve disabled embedding and the whole experience is so peppered with ads so I’m not even going to link to it.
Audioslave – “Doesn’t Remind Me” [HD] from Chris Milk on Vimeo.
I also learned that Milk directed the wonderful 42 second short film Last Day Dream.
