i can't sleep. i drank an americano before the meeting and then i g0t sucked into my netbook and my new optical drive and then i wound up on youtube. i found some clips that i wanted to post but not in facebook, this is part of the reason why i created this blog. i figure anyone who is reading this already has my attention so i'll post the more interesting clips here. first a few music videos from Severed Heads. i had never seen these clips before but now i cant stop watching them.. three of my favorites are below.
the devil has a mohawk.
this was made in 1987 and reminds me of hieronymous bosch. i love the piano melody that begins at the 2 minute mark and the way it coincides with the videos decent into an utter nightmare of visuals..
this video is hands down probably the strangest video i have ever seen. its beyond ridiculous and thats what i find fascinating about it- the tongue in cheek humor going on is sublime.
this was a video art piece played at several music festivals on a very large screen with a very large PA that was designed to barrage people with as much digital noise as possible, very pre-digital hardcore.
early electro pop from 1985, i love how it starts harshly filled with a distorted vocals and a buzzsaw bass line and then this ethereal keyboard melody swoops down and takes it skyward putting the hard and the soft in conflict.
