Playlist: The Reggies

What’s the best music video you’ve seen recently and why?

Phoebe Bridgers - Lost Boys, directed by Lance Oppenheim and Pablo Rochat.

There’s always a handful of videos we’ll watch and say, “I wish we did that,” and this was definitely one of those. So obscure and well done.

What’s the first music video you remember being impressed by?

Clay: My older siblings introduced me to music & music videos. Probably the 2009/2010 era of Eminem / D12 videos.

Jake: I accidentally purchased the Outkast - Hey Ya! music video on iTunes when I was 12, and it blew my mind. At the time, I had no concept of compositing and could not fathom how there were so many different Andre 3000s in one frame. I figured they were identical twins in some quadruplet situation.

And what’s your all-time favourite music video?

Joywave ft Kopps - Tongues. No notes.

What other directors/artists do you look to for inspiration?

The DANIELS, Mike Diva, Edgar Wright, Emma Seligman, Nadia Lee Cohen. 

Shoutout to Brandon Dermer and Parker Seaman.

What are you listening to at the moment?

Jake: Jamiroquai, Action Bronson, Clairo, bLAck pARty, Gabriel Jacoby, Junior Varsity, Wet Leg, and Durand Jones & the Indications. The new Josh Conway album is amazing.

Clay: The Rolling Stones, Action Bronson, Neil Young, Dev Lemons, Mac DeMarco, Joji – lots of different genres.

What’s your favourite bit of tech, whether for professional or personal use?

Jake: Airtags, no doubt. I used to lose my keys and wallet frequently, but now with the help of Apple’s cutting-edge technology, I’m always covered.

Clay: Personal use of the crushed ice machine. It’s a game-changer to have at home.

What artist(s) would you most like to work with and why?

Oh man, we could write a five-page list with artists we’d love to work with. At this point, we’d really love to work with any artist who allows us to make something weird, funny, abstract, and conceptual.

But just in case any of them are reading this… Childish Gambino, Tierra Whack, Viagra Boys, Thundercat, Mac DeMarco, Clairo, Amyl & The Sniffers, Danny Brown, Weezer, Young Miko, Teezo Touchdown, PinkPantheress, Paris Texas, Toro y Moi, and ATARASHII GAKKO!
