Meaningful Music Videos of the Past Blog Month

Just wanted to 'embed some videos' that are 'relevant', yall.

Music Video: Little Boots - New In Town

</embed>

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

</embed>

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

</embed>

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

</embed>

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

</embed>

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

</embed>

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

</embed>

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?

Moby is a Business Man and an Artist

Yay! I think I'm going to make an HRO short film using music made by Moby. I'm an artist, and I am very familiar with copyright laws, so I am really excited about mobygratis.com. I hope there are instrumental versions of his previous hits, like "South Side (ft Gwen Stefani)."

I am also considering making my own music distribution site, where I make a lot of minimal/experimental/core-core music that is meant to be used in snuff films. Would yall be interested in something like that? Do any of yall make snuff films? Maybe if I made it minimal like the muxtape interface, it would be a hit.

I'm just always looking for ways to expand my brand, and Moby is a mrktng genius, so I might just do stuff that he does, except with my own little twist on it...

MOBY: The Next Great Party DJ?

What's up with Moby diversifying, and starting to hit up the whole "DJing where people are taking party pix" style of events. I know he probably has previous cred due to pop hits, and respect in the HOUSE DJing community, but it's just a little bit shocking. I just assumed his brand was a step above 'the modern party scene.' Maybe he sees it as an emerging demographic, and wants to move early, or maybe he's trying to trick the modern electrocommunity into buying into his concept album about a night in New York.


Should Moby hand-select hotter partypic slutz to be photographed with if he wants to leap over MOMJEANS in the international DJ rankings?

"Dude, I've been listening to you since you collabed with Gwen Stefani on SOUTHSIDE. The album PLAY changed my life."

Let us never forget the real Moby, a guy who gets really into his own concepts:
