I Need You Tonight / Mediate

I usually like to look at a couple videos each week.  This week INXS makes the job easy for me, by putting two songs on one video.





A great pair of videos, and a nice contrast.  In fact, we have total opposites.  I Need You Tonight is a masterpiece of post-production effects, a collage in motion.  Meanwhile, Mediate isn't edited at all -- it's one continuous shot.  How fucking cool is that?  (I can only think of a handful of videos that are done in a single shot.  If you can think of any, let me know!)  Best of all, the videos are cool, and so very solidly in the style of the 1980s.
