Monthly Music Monday: “I Will Possess Your Heart” by Death Cab for Cutie

Posted on April 6, 2015 by Andrew

Unlike Justice’s video for “Stress,” the video for Death Cab for Cutie’s “I Will Possess Your Heart” doesn’t really pretend to be a film, at least not a cinema-vérité documentary. Instead, it might actually be an account of one singer’s … Continue reading →

Monthly Music Monday: “Stress” by Justice

Posted on March 2, 2015 by Andrew

I want to point out that this video is a mini-movie, and one that I find very, very disturbing. The first dozen times I watched it I found myself crying–it’s such a perfect distillation of people’s inhumanity to one another, … Continue reading →

Monthly Music Monday: “Secular Haze” by Ghost B.C.

Posted on February 2, 2015 by Andrew

One of the posters on Absolute Write has a picture of Ghost B.C.’s lead singer as their avatar, and eventually I tracked down who the crazy guy dressed in bishop robes was. I have to say, I love all things … Continue reading →

Monthly Music Monday: “Reagan” by Killer Mike

Posted on January 5, 2015 by Andrew

I don’t remember where I found this, but what captured my mind was the combination of the music and the animation. It’s a beautiful, disturbing video even without the rap laying out a horrifying view of the world. The quotes … Continue reading →

Monthly Music Monday: “Guillotine” by The Coup

Posted on December 1, 2014 by Andrew

Tracy Jo Barnwell introduced me to this video, though I’d already heard of The Coup and been entranced by Boots Riley’s lyrics and the music infusing them. The social consciousness of the lyrics appeals to me–artists making political statements–though of … Continue reading →

Monthly Music Monday: “Food Glorious Food” by Homeboy Sandman

Posted on November 10, 2014 by Andrew

In this very occasional and random series (as is true for pretty much everything on this blog), I’ll present music which has wormed itself into my brain. In this case, it’s the bass line and the very subject of this … Continue reading →

Music You Should Be Listening To (Not an Opinion)

Posted on February 12, 2014 by Andrew

I just learned about Janelle Monáe. As with many things in popular culture, I imagine I am far, far behind the times and that all of you are already converts to her awesomeness.  If not, then here you go, thank … Continue reading →

Blammity Blam!

Posted on April 23, 2013 by Andrew

So I’ve been going through the blog archives of Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! and have been finding some awesome stuff.  Awesome, in this case, means funny.  Also, horrifying.  See below: The reason I showed you that was to show … Continue reading →

So I’ve given up all hope

Posted on March 18, 2013 by Andrew

of saying anything really important anymore on this blog.  If I think too much about it — whether “it” is writing, thoughts about a book, movie, etc., or people (you know who you are) — then I write nothing. Instead, … Continue reading →

I want your soul, and so does everyone else

Posted on November 16, 2012 by Andrew

There’s a show called Off the Air.  You should watch it.  Watching it is quite easy.  All the episodes are available in ten-minute chunks on YouTube.  Ten-minute chunks because that is how long they are.  The episodes. I’m not sure … Continue reading →
