As my friend Andrew James English (best name ever, isn’t it?) used to say:
i LIKE
1. Lists
2.Number #2s
and
3.Endings
And you know what? Everyone does too.
Especially lists that REALLY SUCK and lists that REALLY DON’T SUCK (at all).
In the latter category we have Michel Gondry’s just established list of “25 of his Favorite Videos”
After all, Gondry is a genius and this is his playing field. No one outranks him on this block.
So, instead of one good video how about we give you a 25 GREAT VIDEOS PLAYLIST TO KICK YOUR WEEKEND OFF?
Enjoy and you’re welcome.
