BIG WILLIE-ISMS (PART 2)

Some (vaguely) musically-themed Tubular delights now.
This is good. It's a song by the Junior Boys set to a clip from Bande à Part, a French film from olden days.



This is Tricky and PJ Harvey performing 'Broken Homes' together on Late Night With David Letterman from a few years back. It's as weird as it sounds. PJ is bewitching as ever. Tricky growls a bit and stares at his shoes. Meanwhile the gospel choir elevates the song to an almost religious level of intensity. Like most of Tricky's best work, it always sounds just on the verge of falling apart but somehow it all holds together. I don't have many people I consider 'heroes' but Tricky is a hero of mine for sure. I mean, he's clearly mad, and it's unlikely that he even remembers how to write a decent tune anymore, but I'll still listen to anything he puts out (even those worthless demo's on his MySpace page. Speaking of which...).



Here's the new Nine Inch Nails video. This is getting quite exciting. Trent is wearing a scarf! There's a topless woman!! There's some gay guys having gay sex!!! And some other stuff!!!! The song's a bit weak, but pay attention to the video as I believe it's heavily 'symbolic' and in no way just a rip off of Sliver.



Poncey French cinema, crazed people singing about broken homes, a chilling vision of a dystopian futurescape set to mild industrial rock... hey, what we need now is some Biff!
