While I am of the elitist "don't own a television set" set it is for lack of funds and time, not a revulsion towards the medium, which, can obviously be amazing and amazingly shitty.
I hear from people who purportedly know that the "music" channels of North America have devolved into a steaming mass of bisexual dating shows and the lurid chronicling of Californian teens. Let's face it, we all saw how low Moses Znaimer's music video vehicle could sink when "Much On Demand" was introduced to the derision discerning listeners and "whoo!"s of tweeny poppers. Rick the Little Temp was about all I could take. Obviously, there is an audience for whatever kind of gobshite is being broadcast by MTV and Much. It just isn't "us" (as in, the collective of discerning individuals).
Today, I thank the internet once again, for making music video channels obsolete. Gone are the days of pining over Erica Ehm or writing Sook Yin Lee to play a Dinosaur Jr. video when "The Wedge" had a host. Admittedly, fun times. But fuck rolling the dice when you want to watch something. Viva la internet!
This video makes me laugh a spittle flecked guffaw in the gaping maws of worn out channels.
Best dancing since Spike Jonze did vids.
Prodigious!
