The Music Video Thread

[Dedpop]

I was completely mad about this KLF track at the time.
I mean really really mad.

 

[EldarOfSuburbia]

I almost put that one up. One of the closing tracks at the rock/metal night I went to most Wednesdays. They would also play this:

randomly, instead of the original, and I got pretty good at picking up the difference right from the intro.

 

[Kolchak357]

I was mesmerized by this song the first time I heard it. Can you imagine when this came out in 1960? Must have been considered almost pornographic back then. Lol

 

[Kolchak357]

I have a nasty head cold and I'm watching the Sixers and Flyers both lose. You guys are cheering me up here tonight as I'm grinding through a box of tissues.

 

[Dedpop]

Did somebody call a doctor ?

 

[Dedpop]

This one's for you buddy.

 

[Kolchak357]

Lol, good one. Saw them live many years ago. Very good live band.

 

[Dedpop]

Huge fan here.

This one's for me...

It was fun. Good night guys.

Did somebody call a doctor?

"man, nobody eat the ribs, dees ribs is bad!"

 

[WhiteChocolate]

Dr Who?

(This was, for real, a #1 hit in the UK. The guys who recorded the song had earlier that year published a book titled "How To Have A Number 1 Hit", or something like that; this was their proof of concept. The Timelords/KLF/Justified Ancients Of Mumu/JAMs are notorious in the UK music industry for various bizzarre stunts, including burning £1MM and abruptly departing the music scene, deleting their entire back catalog at the same time. There are currently very unconfirmed rumors that they're making some kind of a re-appearance this year, perhaps.)

anarchists! (well, that makes 'em better than fascists!)

Another fine example of their work:

this looks like a "behind the scenes" of that video... looks like a neato watch into such an odd bit of brit-viddy history...

i guess i must look into the klf a bit more; i've only been vaguely aware of them all these years... and i'm at least a casual "residents" fan, so i should know about these guys a bit, it seems like!

radioplay has gotten much restricted post-9-11, thanks to clear channel restricting over-the-air playlists... do your homework; look it up! so even the kids these days that hate the "disneyfied/autotuned" crap get squeemish about "naughty music;" they don't know what's allowed... and the rest of us have let our raunchy rock'n'roll past sadly fade into only youtube-able memories...

Shocking Blue - Venus

 

[WhiteChocolate]

for example, a much more recent example! you just know the old "tighty whities" got their panties in a bunch up over this one... they -hate- RATM, and they hate rap anyways too, so, this one was just -too- much for them to take...
Rage Against the Machine & Outkast - Bombs Over Baghdad - Nuoro - Lyrics - B.O.B.

(makes you think, those "weirdo" KLF/Resident types, stayin' anonymous? maybe they got something there! stay frosty out there... p.s. also that's not the best vid example of the track i've seen; just the latest last example i could find that wasn't just a static pic for the whole time... get the impression the record co's for both groups have pulled down other better non-offich vids that fans had done for it... and that seems to show off their own political strings. i've seen better ones before on yt in the past...)

 

[WhiteChocolate]

while i'm being positively acerbic (-not- anti-social... there -is- a difference, ya stupid zombies! ... and in vibe with the nirvana vid, been thinking about this one lately anyways...
Atari Teenage Riot

always dug the four-bar sample of nirvana's "smells like" in this one! this viddy version though is a re-recorded vocal... also much, much shorter than the cd, and also much, much more censored (and less intense)! ATR is "difficult-listening" for most folk, definitely, but if it happens to tickle your fancy, i highly recommend getting the orig album to check out the original version (several tracks on it i love; also always dug "death star" on it... that gothy chick is gol-daym intense and brilliant, in a KMFDM-ish way).

 

[WhiteChocolate]

now, something much mellower and trippy to listen to as you stare at the stars...
cEvin Key with Ken HiWatt Marshall- Metamorphosis

 

[WhiteChocolate]

Nebula - Travelin' Mans Blues

this is a new one on me; another bloggy shared this track the other day... totally dug the zepp vibe of this! i think i'm gonna hafta get their stuff (along with catching up on black crowes in my collection)...

 

[Kolchak357]

I see what you mean, very Led Zep-ish sounding.

 

[Naildriver74]

This is better than the King Biscuit Flower Hour

 

[Biff]

I really liked KLF back in the days. This was my favorite track.

Here´s one of the greatest metal bands, and - surprise - they´re from France:

By he way, salute to Dedpop
