Here’s something to take that nasty AFX aftertaste away… –And since it’s the SDMB, it’s gonna be [Duran Duran](http://youtube.com/watch?v=09iRa9ymj2E). Trust me. It’s a great video. ---

I am surprised no one has mentioned [Rubber Johnny](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l48HTZUHfeQ) yet. (Some people may find the video extremely disturbing.) The video is by Chris Cunningham, and features music by Aphex Twin. ---

And how about this Adidas [commercial](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENleEsKhOj4) by Spike Jonze? A guy wakes up at night, puts on his shoes, and enters a few parallel universes. 🙂 ---

These [girls](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cva_sGN_0VA) present a great tribute to Daft Punk. Give them a minute to get up to speed. ---
