Video Vault Friday!

Ok, I'm going with two today!

The first video was probably the apex of J. Mascis' and his band, Dinosaur Jr.'s career.  The video, "Feel the Pain" was created by Spike Jonze, probably one of the best directors of videos in the video era.  Too bad he really couldn't save the genre.  I figured most people know his videos "Sabotage" "Buddy Holly," "Undone (the sweater song)," or "Weapon of Choice."  This is one of his sillier video as the band golfs through Manhattan. 



The second video, "California" by Wax is a song that, if you are lucky,(you)  will hear on an alt-90's station on a rare day.  A quick song that is a whole 2:15, and shot with a single shot.  I was always fascinated with the song & video.  The song was quickly banned from MTV daytime, but is a true masterpiece.
