A good buddy of mine Tamara, who taught herself After Effects and made an amazing Nina Simone video a little while ago, hath retarned (original Sharif-ism) and made a neat little video for "Idols" by Black Gold. Enjoy!
More pictures of records! These are long overdue, from my LA Amoeba trip. As always, I find myself consistently and qualitatively entertained by what the record industry is capable of pressing to vinyl/thinking is a good idea to do so:
Sandra Bernard covering Sylvester? Wonderful, I guess!
I took a shot of this because Kelly Clarkson is a legitimate genius, but also because apparently Ralphi Rosario did a 10 minute dub version of Walk Away?
This is one of the reasons Amoeba is so great. Why anyone would think they would get a lot of mileage out of making an Alessi Brothers J-Card is beyond me. These dudes had one amazing song and then the end. "Oh sure, just check the Alessi Bros section in Pop, we have their entire discography available, right before GG Allin!"
The fact that there is a 12 of this is absurd. I can only imagine what the dance remixes sound like.
Ah yes, who could possibly ever forget that generation-defining performance of Big Yellow Taxi, that truly watershed moment for us all when Joni Mitchell played her biggest and most well-known hit while Ross chased around a monkey and Rachel flubbed around dowdily and Chandler looked smug? Is this definitive use reversal?
I never thought I would ever find a Yanni 12, but the universe has a way of saying FUCK YOU PAY ATTENTION:
Another thing I like about Amoeba is that they accord 7"s the respect they deserve. Such felicitous packaging! I WANT TO BROWSE THESE BOXES:
"I hit that."
-Bruce Springsteen
Q: Which one of these bands has a better name?
or
A: They are both equally good.
Thank you, Amoeba LA, see you next time!
I bought a latter day ELO album and found a great album cut (white reggae!), and also a latter day Colin Blunstone album and found no great anything. Colin Blunstone from the 80s is basically the opposite of a 311 song: unbeautiful disaster.
