-Music Videos on my Mind- Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs’ Garden


When you decide to give yourself a stage name as gargantuan as Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, people are going to have big expectations.

Orlando Higginbottom's essentially one-man dance project kicked off a few years back but has now gone global having been commissioned by Lady GaGa('s people) to remix Marry the Night, as well as getting Nokia to use his track Garden for its high profile Lumia mobile phone adverts.

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs makes the kind of music that indie guitar kids feel comfortable dancing to. It's entertaining but hardly revolutionary. Higginbottom is probably better known for his onstage dinosaur costumes and opulent feathered headwear than his mixing skills, but one gets the sense that the music he makes is designed to function as lucrative background noise for the commercials put out by major corporations.

'Tis really not the season for such obdurate cynicism.

  2. The singers look bored.

    It's not my type of music, but it's not bad.

  5. Personally, I thought this song was amazing AND revolutionary (I'm just not as cool as those indie kids) - until the singing started. it made me sneeze. I promise. Although, holy crow that head dress is amazing. I would wear that. Like, right now.
