Revival

Time to revive the Blog. I haven't typed in one of these thingys for years.

So, still don't know if I've been accepted to UW SAFS. I thought I would find out during my trip to Peru (which was March 6-17 and I have yet to post pictures), but I did not.

I love music videos. I am obsessed with music and pretty visual things, and dancing. Music videos are like short, sweet movies, with less of the dialogue that always gets in the way.

Empire of the Sun is a relatively new band with a FANTASTIC video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmM2RwlxGt0

It reminds me of late 70's sci-fi art. For example:

Lady Gaga has some fun songs, but she cannot act. Then again I love ham. Here's a fun song, great for movin' booty, that shows how some artistic editing hides the fact that she can't act: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M65zI9LH-as

The first 20 seconds of this video are PERFECT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAoPJxTvZOQ&NR=1

Music win, video fail: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIEOZCcaXzE&NR=1

This one too (video fail...), but this was one of my top 5 favorite songs in college, so the beat has some special memories for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ab9wUcxoFQ

And the Coup de Gras. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=862dqXV9lEU&feature=related I have never met a Peter Fox video I didn't like. I need to hire his artistic director to choreograph my LIFE. Here's the one that started it all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdtLCfEcPL4 This is probably the coolest video ever, which is appropriate because it's one of the most bad-ass songs ever. The best part of the video comes at 1:00. Hooray for pyrotechnics!
