music videos

omg. Dave Gahan and the boys are BABIES in 80's vids. Like, clean-shaven, geeky little boys. It's fucking hilarious.

And so are Echo and the Bunnymen. I think they all did the wacko hair because they were all skinny, weedy, British boys (sigh) who weren't all that interesting to look at.

XTC's Mayor of Simpleton video is better shot than Galactica. (and so incredibly amusingly cheesy!)

....wow. Julian Cope is trying to be Bowie AND have sex with his microphone stand.

Meanwhile, Cutting Crew's "I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight" video has some of the best use of flashy video stuff EVER. (picture in picture, playing with time, color, light, etc) I'm really usually all mocking about this shit, but it's really well done.

And now it's Headline Act with Siouxsie and the Banshees... o.O I love my VH1 Classic.

ETA: omg. Why does no one have any Single Gun Theory on limewire? You bitches and whores, I need music.

XTC made videos?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*laughs* Apparently. Of course, I'm still being completely disturbed that Echo and the Bunnymen made music videos. But then, it was the 80s, and everyone did music vids because of MTV and image.

[musicforcylons.livejournal.com]

Dude, 80's vids are so trippy and fabulously horrible! *misses VH1 Classic or whatever it was*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

They were, man. Some of 'em are good, though. And all of them are better then 98% of the videos done today.

I really don't remember the most recent current video I've seen. They all look pretentious/the same. Of course, seeing a vid requires that someone show it, and well, we know how often that happens.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

hehehe. Good point. Er, yes. You can see vids, you just have to be up at hours like, um, now... *g*

[musicforcylons.livejournal.com]

Feh, I'll pass. I was actually asleep, er, until a few minutes ago that is.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*eyes* Go back to sleep.

[musicforcylons.livejournal.com]

Trying.

Really.

Cutting Crew's "I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight"

I love that song. I may have to track down that video. Andy suggested (jokingly) that we dance to it at the wedding. We did play it but it was definitely not our first dance. :-)

It's a very nice video, and I'm frakking picky about these things. it may also be love ot the song talking.

BABIES, I tell you. *giggles madly*

[lavidaessueno.livejournal.com]

Holy crap! You know Single Gun Theory?

::fangirls you::

which song(s) are you looking for?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Well, I kind of know them. See, an old friend of mine was a dj at his college station, and his show featured all sorts of non-mainstream stuff. And I think the song I'm vaguely remembering is SGT, but I could be wrong. Sadly, all I have is a chorus 'take me back/take me back/god, if you want me, take me, take me/take me back'.

[lavidaessueno.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's them. It's called Take Me Back and it's on Like Stars in my Hands, which I have.

You want I should send?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Yes, please. *bounces*

[lavidaessueno.livejournal.com]

I hope I'm using the right addy. Lemme know if there's a problem, kay?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Yup. *listens happily*
