Two videos WORTH commenting on.

HEY! Hi...you! How are ya?

Are you ready for some videos that I like and don't like. This time I promise some worthwhile thoughts worth readng.



Things I learned from watching Cobra Starship's "Snakes On A Plane (Bring It) Video":
(before I start, here's a cast list:
Lead singer - some guy from Midtown.
Femmy long haired guy - some guy from The Academy Is.
hot swedish female - hot swedish lead singer from The Sounds
rapper - some guy from Gym Class Heroes)

1. There are now two bands with the word "Starship" in their name (except THIS band is a "supergroup". at least they fancy themselves as such.). Both of which produce decidely not good music.
(1a. If Cobra Starship ever decide to cover "We Built This City", they can legally be punished to the fullest extent of the law.)

2. While I'm (quite) glad The Sounds exist, it has yet to be determined whether or not their involvement in Cobra Starship is commendable. Especially with the dancing being of the rap-video ho persuasion.

3. Inclusion of the guy from The Academy Is should be the loudest alarm that all teenage female emo fans may come to exhibit lesbian tendiencies as the rock heroes they worship are extremely womanly (and that said rock heroes think that that's cool).
(3a. Also, said rock heroes probably read magazines such as Seventeen and Cosmo Girl unironically.)

4. Emo-hip-hop can die anytime in the near future as the rap/bridge proves itself to be worthless, devoid of hip-hop (save for a vague rhyming scheme).
(Note to rapper - DUDE, lose the beauty mark piercing. You tried to make it work for guys and you just didn't pull it off. Sorry.)

5. Cameos can be either cringe-inducing (Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy) or shoulder-shruggingly dull and expected (Sammy Jackson). (You can tell that Sam Jackson is way past the point of getting sick of the Snakes On A Plane hype. Just like you soon will be.)

6. Topic: Are the videos from soundtracks better or worse without the inclusion of scenes from the movie. DISCUSS!

----------------

And here's the part where I puss out and post a link to three videos:
Videos (as of July 18th) on Pitchfork

Knife - "We Share Our Mother's Health"
(oh so creepy, yet inticing - it's creep-ticing.)

Cat Power - Lived In Bars
(love it.)

MSTRKRFT - Work On You
(Proof that techno coupled with japanese sci-fi animation is NEVER as good as it is when Daft Punk does it. Daft Punk should FROM NOW ON, ALWAYS do japanese sci-fi animation videos. I DIGRESS - the video's still a great view.)

Plus, if I don't post the videos on my blog, I look like less of a douche for having copied Pitchfork and posted three videos that they also have posted.
