Very Short FilmsFor anyone who really wants to get a giant double-whammy of good new zealand music and good new zealand video making, both done in the old-school-nz-d.i.y-get-the-gang-around-in-the-weekend-to-record-a-new-bit sorta way, then get the Very Short Films DVD. 41 (mostly) classic songs synched up with (intermittently) brilliant video making to create a fantastic bunch of these things called music videos.

And the good old interweb. You can try before you buy. Head over to Amplifier for two of the better tracks - The Chills epicly depressing 'Pink Frost', and the Straitjacket Fits seminal masterpiece 'She Speeds' (which features one of nzmusic's more notorious characters on cello).

Also spotted out and about in online music video land is the Mint Chicks whose first single 'Licking Letters' (and here), Dimmer's 'Giving What You Give' (and here) and the 'buzz band of SXSW' The Have's 'The Fuzz' (and here).

And, as per yesterday's post - please note you can win it here.
