Thank You and Goodbye is an indie/alternative band out of Orlando, Florida consisting of Chris Grieder and Emiliy Brown. I don’t know much about Emily, besides being really cute and having a nice voice– but Chris also skateboards, films and takes pictures and stuff. The music video, directed by Chris, for their song Dead Cities in Your Heart can be viewed above.
Check them out on Facebook, MySpace and if you, like I, like the tunes, make a purchase of their 5 song EP, Time Well Wasted, through iTunes.

Another highly conceptual music video from the now independent, OK Go for their song End Love from the album Of the Blue Colour of the Sky. Directed by Jeff Lieberman and Eric Gunther. Background information about techniques used in the video, via a quote from Jeff Lieberman is below:
The fastest we go is 172,800x, compressing 24 hours of real time into a blazing 1/2 second. The slowest is 1/32x speed, stretching a mere 1/2 second of real time into a whopping 16 seconds. This gives us a fastest to slowest ratio of 5.5 million. If you like averages, the average speed up factor of the band dancing is 270x. In total we shot 18 hours of the band dancing and 192 hours of LA skyline timelapse – over a million frames of video – and compressed it all down to 4 minutes and 30 seconds! Oh and don’t forget, it’s one continuous camera shot.
