The Collected Music Videos of Spike Jonze

Anticipation is really beginning to ramp up for Spike Jonze’s big screen adaptation of Where the Wild Things Are, due out October 16, 2009. However, before he became a critically acclaimed director with the films Being John Malkovich and Adaptation, Jonze cut his teeth for over 10 years making some of the most interesting music videos on MTV. After the jump, all of Jonze’s music videos (save for one) in order. Cue the nostalgia.
