The Sound of Violence

Cassius - The Sound Of Violence
Uploaded by hushhush112

So, I work at a gar bar. Some of you know this, some of you do not. What those of you know who know this and have been to said gay bar, is that we play a lot of fucking music videos. Several screens, all with lots of music videos on them. Some (like the one above) are freakin nifty. Most are sad and lame. Regardless, I often have a hard time not watching music videos and actually tending to my drunken customers. The above video by Cassius is a real gem in my book. I'd really like to watch on Imax...in 3D...on lots of chemicals...forever...

You Spin Me Round

Dead Or ALive - You Spin Me 'round
Uploaded by Transsmusic

So, apparently in 2003 Dead Or Alive released a greatest hits cd (they had other hits?), and on it there was a remix of their most notable single, "You Spin Me Round." Also, since that song had originally been released, front man Pete Burns went about 3/4ths trans. He's spent a lot of time under the knife it seems, and I for one think he (I think that's still the right pronoun...it's only 3/4ths right?) looks fantastic. Rather Amanda Lepore, but I guess that's just kinda what happens when you explode your lips with collagen. Anyway, enjoy the 2003 remix video for "You Sping Me." Then watch the original, and be amused by what was cool in the 80's.

The last video's 'glam/gross' effect naturally made me think of this video. I mean...yuck...but damn, that's a good wig. The art direction throughout the video is fantastic, and her garbage can go go boys only make things fantastic. Be in awe ya'll, it don't get much better than Goldfrapp.

This has nothing to do with anything and is totally bizzaro. I totally dig though. Bjork's makeup with peaches/madonna/le tigre sound and a snazzy monochrome video....how could you go wrong?

Champion Sound

I have no idea if this is real or not. I mean, it can't be...right? at least I hope not. Either way, the amount of obsession it took to put the thing together is a little sickening, and truely worthy of admiration.

David Bowie and Marianne Faithfull - I Got You Babe

There is nothing that's not odd about this. Everything is odd. David is sporting a fur corset, while Marianne seems to have forgotten to take her nun Halloween costume off. And they chose, of all things, to cover Sonny and Cher, who are also odd. The performance style is perhaps my favorite part...totally fucking deadpan. This one is definitely best enjoyed with a cup of earl grey and good shot of an intravenous drug.

Life On Mars?

Circa 1973, the original male pop star in makeup. You just have to love him. I mean think about it people! This was pop music! Girls were screaming and fawning over this man with a red mullet, blue eyeshadow, pink lip gloss and a fabulous powder blue suit. We have nothing to even hold a candle to that.





Sigh...well at least there's always crazy Gwen Stefani being weird and famous...but her pupils are the same size so it's not as cool.
