There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
Great performance and interview with the original Pink Floyd on the BBC: [link]
The interview is both sad and funny. Sad, because Sid is so lucid. Funny, because the interviewer completely doesn't get the rock and roll aesthetic ("why do you have to play at such high volume?")

And cute. He looks like Gram Parson's curly headed kid brother.

Heh. I loved that disclaimer, "I don't want to prejudice you..." on top of the truly weasley "Perhaps I am too much of a musician to appreciate them..."
Iggy could've answered his question better. "It's loud because you need to feel it in your body, not just in your ears. The bass reflex in your chest should be enough to give you CPR. Have you ever been near a press-machine on a Detroit assembly line?"
Through Gawker Clips I came across a an old forgotten music video that might appeal to Hec and Plei: Duran Duran's The Chauffeur, [link] a surprisingly sophisticated video inspired by Helmut Newton. What's driving me nuts is that I'm fairly sure someone ripped off the choreography of the dance at the end, but I can't think of who. Britney Spears, maybe?
ETA: oh yeah, def NSFW.
maybe Madonna?
I tend to agree. I looked at Lucky Star and Vogue. It may be the case that the dancer was heavily influenced by Lucky Star.

I'm familiar with that video because my ex-GF was a Duran Duran fan and was very excited to see that video when I gave her a collection.
In other video news, I got a set of Kate Bush early videos that's OOP, Marc - a VHS copy of Marc Bolan's last TV show. (I think it's coming out on DVD soon.)
And for Mr. Boucher, I got a live Lou Reed DVD with Quine and Fernando Saunders doing material from the Blue Mask/Legendary Hearts era.
I'm way too intoxicated to post, yet here I am. Hooray, Seattle!
Plei, Jilli, any Seattle-istas interested in meeting: send me an email at haydenchilds at gmail dot com. I'm going to Portland tomorrow, but will be back on Saturday through Tuesday.
Gurgle.
That video for The Chauffeur was inadvertantly part of the "kids' entertainment" at my parents' big Christmas party one year. Oops.

Is there a video of her cavorting about in a lion outfit? Or was that just when she was on SNL?
