The Faint: Agenda Sucide

Bored and lonely on my couch at 3AM, I found myself channel surfing to good old Much Music. I'd spent most of my night until this point watching cartoons - and watching Madonna gyrate a ghetto blaster in her "Hung Up" video just wasn't doing it for me.

I found myself ditching the tv in favor of the computer, and I googled "Animated Music Video". I haven't even really begun to to sift my way through the plethora of links the internet gods provided, but already, I've found something I love.

There is a great video out by The Faint, for a song called Agenda Suicide. The music is along the lines of that whole 80s electro dance revival thing going on right now, which I can personally take or leave, but the animation in the video is top notch.

The video was created by MK12 Stuidios, which I have to admit I'd never heard of until tonight (but will definately be bookmarking for reference later). The style is at once both distinct and recognizable, with the use of motion graphics as the main technique.

The video tells the story of a businessman tired of the same ol same ol sameness of everyday life, and does a pretty amazing job of it. Apparently, due to the references to taking pills and committing sucide, the video never made it to MTV. It appears to be old meme - I guess this made it's way round the internet a while ago, but somehow, I've only managed to stumble upon it now. If you're like me - slighly out of the loop, you too can watch it - here.
