I�ve been thinking lately that one of the more distressing signs that the music video scene has gotten itself stuck in neutral gear is the fact that the medium has, to date, produced so few real stylists. What I mean by this is that there seems to be a distinct paucity of artists whose clips convey a discernible, and ongoing, sense of that performer or group�s individual nature. Now understand that I�m not speaking here about music per se; there is always enough good music to go around (well, almost always), and we like different singers and bands precisely because they each give us something a bit different in the way of sound, or point of view, or just plain panache. It is the style that separates them, and it is the appreciation (or rejection) of that style that enables us, as listeners, to define our tastes and preferences, our likes and dislikes.
