—If you watch one video from this year's Grammys, make it this one. The passion and joy these guys showed made me excited about music. They were loving every second. So was I.
—Honestly, I don't know how I haven't shown this video on here before, but believe me when I tell you it's the best thing you'll watch all day, weekend, week, month, year, decade, quarter-century, half-century, century, millenia, and possibly even your life: Rock Your Baby!
—So I love Scott Pilgrim vs The World. I've been pretty clear about that. So when I saw Edgar Wright post this on his blog, well, I had to do the same:
—If you watch two videos from this year's Grammy's, make the second this one. I couldn't have been happier to see Arcade Fire win this. I wrote about their debut album, Funeral, but haven't shared too many thoughts about The Subarbs. It's killer. They can't make a song that's hard to listen to.
—Did you watch that Captain America commercial again and again, like I did, but think to yourself, "Gee, this is missing something?" Problem. Solved.

—You remember that video of my friends killing it in Wilmington to George McCrae's Rock Your Baby? Of course you do, there's no way you forget that. Also, you probably just watched it a few minutes ago. ANYWAYS, there's another video. Chase, as it turns out, has a mind for what will be amazing to watch and be a blast to film. I was fortunate enough to help on this next one (by help, I mean stand there, off-camera, while Stephen filmed, Chase directed, and Matt and Ben acted). Trust me when I say this is the second best thing you'll watch all day, weekend, week, month, year, decade, quarter-century, half-century, century, millenia, and possibly even your life: Maneaters from Outer Space!!!
—Between the song, the visuals, and the childhood adoration of the story, watching this trailer for Where the Wild Things Are still gives me goosebumps.
—A couple of years ago, I saw this video. It's a stop-motion short, set to Sigur Rós's Hoppípolla, which is an unfairly beautiful song. It tells a sweet little love story, so of course I like it (I'm a sap, through and true).

—This has nothing to do with videos, but the ladies that work on the other side of my cubicle have given me a nickname based off my phone voice: Mr. Smooth. They're convinced I could work at a sex line if this gig fails to stimulate.
As always, thanks for reading folks! I guess watching would be more appropriate this time. Tune in next time for what the French call a certain...I don't know what.

Mumford and Sons is easily the best new act that has come out in a LONG time, it's a shame they didn't win in either of their categories. Oh Well. at least they're getting noticed.
ReplyDeleteYou're absolutely right. I'm embarrassed that it took me until that performance to notice them, but I'm trying to make up for that by telling everyone and their brother about Mumford & Sons.
