I keep thinking that I'll be able to condense one of the running conversation chains in my heads into something manageable and written, all within a 20 minute break at work. It hasn't seemed to materialize.

The best I have a weird video that J and I saw on mun2 last night.



To which, I mean, what can you say but "wow." From the moment first moments with the gloriously heavy stereo switches and volume knob, to the point where you recognize that yes they are going to make an homage shot to 15 different classic videos, all in a song that samples C&C Music Factory for the dominant chorus . . . my mind was just traumatized.

After finishing up the dishes and mulling it over, the best "This video says..." statement I could come up with was that music exists as a discrete cultural object, adrift in the world, always ready to be rediscovered by 12 year olds. And no matter how you feel about any particular band, song, video, label, genre or moment, what the 12/15/19 year old discovering it for the first time feels trumps you. Youth is always right. And so, just enjoy watching the cute kids dance and be happy that you had any time with it at all.
