A LITTLE STRAIGHT TALK
You’ll have to forgive us here at Video Video if we start this month’s report from the cathode trenches on a somewhat serious note. But please believe us when we say that we are just as astounded as you probably are to see us announce that we have seen a music video recently which appears to have been created with the idea of making those who come into contact with it not only watch, but perhaps think and feel as well.
A LITTLE STRAIGHT TALK
VIDEO VIDEO

You’ll have to forgive us here at Video Video if we start this month’s report from the cathode trenches on a somewhat serious note. But please believe us when we say that we are just as astounded as you probably are to see us announce that we have seen a music video recently which appears to have been created with the idea of making those who come into contact with it not only watch, but perhaps think and feel as well. And, as totally unfashionable (and I mean, like, totally, OK?) as that notion may be, the plain fact that this video does exist and is being aired—however infrequently—is, in these lean-spirited times, enough grounds for at least this particular observer of the world’s newest wayward medium to feel a real (albeit faint) glimmer of hope that there may indeed someday be more to rock videos than merely creative lip synching, creative tenthousand-cuts-per-square-foot editing, and/or creative angle shots of chicks in their underwear.
