Video of the Year-2009-Diamond Rings-"All Yr Songs"

There's so many things that are right with this video. Winter sweaters, the running man, and dueling Glenn Robinson and Larry Johnson basketball jerseys are just a few of the highlights that are squeezed into this 2 minute and 44 second masterpiece. Not to mention the song is just so damn catchy. So catchy, that I bought the 7 inch immediately upon hearing it and I don't even own a record player. Well done, Diamond Rings!

UPDATE!!!: 12/9/09-I just received this email from John O. of Diamond Rings....

Hey Mauricio,

Wow! Well I'm totally flattered. Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked the video. Unfortunately, Sony BMG isn't so thrilled. It was taken down this morning on account of some sort of copyright violation. Here's the press release we've been sending out. Feel free to spread the word.

For Immediate Release:

Sometime on the morning of Wednesday, December 9th the Diamond Rings
music video "All Yr Songs" was removed from Youtube at the request of
Sony/BMG on the grounds of copyright infringement. Neither video
director Colin Medley or myself were consulted by either Sony/BMG or
Youtube before the video was removed and we therefore are unclear as
to whom or what we are infringing upon.

Colin has since received an email from Youtube stating that "we
received a notification of claimed copyright infringement regarding
the video from Sony BMG Music Entertainment. When we're notified that
a particular video uploaded to our site infringes another's copyright,
we remove the material as the law requires." To make matters worse,
he has been informed that his Youtube account status is "not in good
standing" and further "strikes may result in the termination of your
account". Colin's numerous videos have helped a great many bands reach
far beyond the physical boundaries of the Toronto scene, so for him to
potentially lose a means of disseminating his hard work would be a
real setback for our entire music community.

Despite all the crap, we're working hard to get the video back online
as soon as possible and will keep everyone notified with any new
developments in "Colin and John O's Most Bogus Corporate
Misadventure". Hopefully this is all just a big misunderstanding and
Sony/BMG will call us up tomorrow to offer the both of us a whole
bunch of autographed Beyonce or Modest Mouse albums for our troubles.
In the meantime I'm totally throwing out my Sony Sports Walkman.
Panasonic Shockwave XBS rules!

Heads High,
John O
