Music videos past and present
I love music videos - watching them, writing about them and making my own on extremely limited budgets. Great videos are part of the reason I like pop music.
I know this blog has a rubbish name but to be honest you're all lucky I didn't call this something like 'Video Filled The Internet Fnar'.
Unfortunately some record companies don't like other people embedding their videos in order to give them more publicity, so I apologise on their behalf if any of the videos I post are no longer available.
Feel free to go to Youtube.com and complain about this daft precedent (or just search for the video there instead).
You can follow my posts on livejournal here: vidsarealright
Or get the straight RSS instead.
Nerina fits a high-powered executive lunch with a fluffy toy shark into her busy schedule, but eats too many dolly mixtures and ends up having a diabetic tantrum. Marvellous stuff - purple velvet suits aside, I’d much rather hang out in Nerina’s bedroom than Mika’s.
Ungoogleable new popstar Lights is having trouble getting phone reception - possibly because her blackberry is made out of cardboard but hey, it’s the credit crunch innit - so ventures out into the alleyway in search of an elusive Vodafone mast. But oh noes, MONSTERS appear!
It takes a while for Lights to regain her composure and defeat her demons, but luckily she finds her missing 3rd dimension at some point and kicks some goggley-eyed arse. Actually that bit reminds me of when the Tweenies go outside into the real world as puppets instead of dudes in costumes and it’s very weird and you realise that it’s the *inside* proportions that have been wrong all this time, like they’ve been sat at a huge table and it just *looks* small because the dude playing the pink grandad character is actually the height of Dennis Rodman. I bet they never had this trouble on Sesame Street.
Punch and Judy show goes awry, Coldplay look even more terrifying as puppets etc. You’ve probably seen this one already, but I just wanted to point out that the girl at 1.03 clearly grows up to be Jessica Stevenson.
