Hey team I was watching some music videos.
Kylie Minogue's "Love at First Sight" has some interesting Tron-ish
animation and has a catchy dance feel like "Music Sounds Better With You."
The Vines "I'm Gonna Get Free" video I cared not for, but it had the words
"Life Imitates Music," not so impressive. A chipper hip-hop tune called "My
Block" by Scarface had a melody line in G-Major and started and ended with a
billboard quoting Revelations. The Red Hot Chili Peppers is standard,
nothing digital or network related I don't think, just some goofed-up taxi
drivin.
I enjoyed the Kylie Minogue video, but I really liked the video "Elvis vs.
JXL" (?) that had a big bank of dim red-lit cubicles in each of which was a
different style dancer. By the end each cubicle had gone white and the
fade-out implied there were very many cubicles. The Elvis song "A Little
Less Conversation" is pretty sweet and the dancers were all pretty fun to
watch. However I could not feel any lasting diff from a Gap commercial. Oh
also Pink's "You're Just Like a Pill" which I found yucky and Weezer's "Keep
Fishin" were on heavy rotation. Weezer had the Muppets in their video, a
show I really used to dig and found zany and intense back in childhood.
The Wayne Gretzky SNL was on but I only watched a portion, missing the fine
sketch with Wayne as Elvis in "Blue Hawaii", the song went "Wona laki hui
means 'hockey,' Hona laka lui means 'love.'"
Ebbyhow, someone recently said that art cannot, by definition, ever impact
policymakers unless they are collectors and in that case only in their bank
account. Isn't that absurd? I'll contribute if anyone wants to buy
NoIraqTill04.com. Content I mean, maybe kick in for the name, say ten
bucks?
