Just wanted to ‘embed some videos’ that are ‘relevant’, yall.
Music Video: Little Boots – New In Town
Analysis: I think that this video is about a girl from the United Kingdom coming to America, and getting dropped off in ‘a black part of town’, and exploring what ‘black culture is like.’ From this video, we have learned that black people ‘live under underpasses’, ‘like to dance’, and ’seem like thugs but might not always hurt u.’ Not sure about the song. Think Little Boots might emerge into a female artist who I prefer listening to remixes of, as opposed to ‘her actual songs.’ But I think that there is ‘a huge market’ for people who want a product like Little Boots.
Music Video: Kanye West – Amazing
Analysis: I think there is a point where an artist ‘becomes a brand.’ Their music doesn’t have to be ‘good’ or ‘inspiring’ any more, it just has to have enough elements for the common man to recognize the artist when they are scanning channels on the radio. So while this song is ‘boring’, ‘uninspiring’, and the lyrics ’seem like they were a poem written by an inner-city 2nd grader’, it doesn’t really matter because it is the recognizable brand of Kanye West.
“lets go out and film some amazing shit 4 this music video. Let’s get some fucking helicopters and film me standing on cliffs and shit.” – Kanye West in a conceptual brainstorming session about what 2 put in his music video for the song “Amazing”
Music Video: Bat for Lashes – Daniel
Analysis: It is weird when some1 has a ‘really catchy first song’ with ‘a good first music video’ like Bat for Lashes with the song “What’s a Girl To Do.” I’m not sure if her music is ’still appealing’ or even makes sense that the male-dominated music memesphere consumes her/people buy her records. Just seems like a sort of ‘aimless’ sort of gothy soft rock to me. Think she might be more appealing if she ‘wasn’t so weird’ and ‘38% more electro.’
Music Video: M83 – We Own the Sky
Analysis: Just like every other M83 video, this one involves ‘teens who are trying to find themselves’ or something like that. The song is ‘pretty good’, but I am not even sure if this video is ’supposed to be compelling enough to watch.’
Music Video: Moby – Shot in the Back of the Head
Analysis: This video was apparently ‘directed’/'created’ by the famous director David Lynch. Not exactly sure which movies he directed, but I think I read that he was ‘Wes Anderson 1.0.’ Think that this song is a ‘chill’ Moby song. I remember when Moby made that album that was strategically engineered to ‘go mainstream’ since he had a famous person sing on every song. Feel like Moby is an artist who is ‘fighting hard’ to be authentic/make authentic products. Think I would see this video when I was an impressionable teen staying up late watching MTV2, and ‘watch the whole thing’ or something.
Music video: The xx – Crystalized
Analysis: Never heard of this band, but I watched their video, and I think they have a bunch of ‘aesthetics’ that I might be able to ‘like.’ Boy+Girl Duet style. ‘Minimal’ guitar. Drum Pad. ‘Shitty video that I might think is cool.’ Both singers might be meme-able homosexuals/sex icons. Not even really sure what I’m supposed to think.
Music Video: Ed Banger Fight – those french people who got into a fight at Cinespace
Analysis: Some bro filmed a bunch of French ppl yelling at eachother at Cinespace. Not even sure what happened. Guess we’ll never know. Seems important, though. Wish I had something in my life ‘worth fighting 4′
Have yall seen n e good/relevant music videos lately?

I was kind of expecting Xavier de Rosnay to pop out from somewhere and crack a bottle on that bouncer’s head. Would have made this video a bit more interesting.

people don’t actually ‘listen to this music,’ do they? it’s just like… performance art to ‘like’ this shit right? kinda sad that entry-levels might actually believe this music has ‘aesthetic value’

I love Bat For Lashes. Her music is beautiful,soulful,haunting.

why do i hate little boots so much? is it because she’s a mainstreamer using the ‘alt platform’ to achieve what people that listen to ______ percieve as authenticity?
or is it that i think blonde girls are automatically dumb and shallow?

please get your facts straight.
the fight that happened at cinespace was the security guards at cinespace fighting with ed banger crew. the security guards were being roid ranging assholes and won’t let one of the ed banger guys into the vip room for a reason that is beyond anyone. the security guard started the fight with him and that led all of the ed banger crew trying to defend to him. then soon enough all of the security guards were trying to get into the fight and it became physical. by physical i mean the security guards putting people into head locks and people swing punches. the group of people were moving around the small, overly crowded room like a rugby match.
i really hope the security guards that were involved with this fight get fired for this shit. it was almost to the point of some getting seriously hurt over nothing.

kayne has now entered the phase that all major black artists must do once they make a million billion dollars; make the “goin back 2 afrika” track to show they “know their roots”.
that m83 video was like the makers of the United colors of benneton working for Urban Outfitters targeting college freshman making you wish that you too had a hot gingham wearin’ girl to make you face your fears and fly kites with and have a meaningful relationship beyond stuff like “getting drunk” and “watching movies” and “doin it”.
moby hasnt been cool since like 1992 when he basically played acid techno/old school rave music/hoovers (now made into bangers). boring

wtf are you guys channeling PLUR down there in australia with that name?

Hipsters fight like a bunch of pussies…I cant believe this video is considered a “fight”….When hipsters fight do they flail their tiny arms and swing their man purses and fanny packs at people? I once saw a pussy hipster kick a girl in the stomach, A FUCKEN GIRL, so I grabbed the pussy and slammed him into the ground and ripped his backpack in half…His pussy hipster ass and molester moustache ran away very very quickly

I liked little boots more when she made music in her bedroom + the fred falke version of that song is s0 much better + the video is just way to maltstream/boring, predictable.
also I find myself fascinated by the new versatile clothing am appy is offering up…wonder if there are male counterparts

Re New In Town Video: if this is what you call a black part of town why is it disproportionately white? if you count head for head there are way more white people here. hey hater. maybe you should run along and listen to some really cool music like justice or the bloody beetroots. go dim mak!

Sorry but those reviews aren’t very good, imo. You don’t know David Lynch Movies/series? Do you know any other song of Little Boots? It seems you just know Moby’s latest stuff.

this m83 viddy version is more compelling:
