The Viewfinder: Scott Weiland’s “Winter Wonderland”
This is to be expected, I suppose. Thanksgiving is less than a week away, which means any number of Christmas albums are hitting the market. The Biebs got a head start, but now here’s erstwhile Stone Temple Pilots/Velvet Revolver frontman Scott Weiland taking the holiday plunge with a new album of Christmas tunes, “Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” In the first video from the album, Weiland takes a stab at the old chestnut “Winter Wonderland,” trying to give off […]
The Viewfinder: Lords of Acid – “Little Mighty Rabbit”
I admit that I was surprised to see this one come down the pike. Lords of Acid hail from Belgium, and have been making industrial techno music laced with not-so-subtle sexual lyrics since 1988. My primary knowledge of the band stems from their 1997 album Our Little Secret, which featured the entendre-laden “Pussy” and the even more transparent “Spank My Booty.” I really haven’t given much thought to Lords of Acid in the intervening decade, but it turns out that […]
bLISTerd: Happy Anniversary, MTV!: The 50 Best Videos of the ’00s (40-31)
Madonna writhes around in a leotard, Dave Grohl channels Michael Douglas in “Falling Down”, and The White Stripes do “Conan” (in other words, #50-#41) can be found here . Now, here’s the next batch of new millennium video hits! (said in douchey DJ voice) 40. Burning Beard | Clutch (2005) “Burning Beard” by Clutch had me the moment Neil Fallon opened his maw and barked “Everyday/I wake up/Drink a lot of coffee and watch the CNN” (He also actually barks later […]
The Viewfinder: Lenny Kravitz’s “Stand”
Much as I enjoy his music (most of the time, anyway), Lenny had always struck me as sort of self-important and humorless. Well, after twenty-something years of rock stardom, Lenny tries his hand at comedy in the video for “Stand”, the first official single from his upcoming project, Black & White America. Must have been his well-received turn in “Precious” that got him bit by the acting bug. There appears to be some serious “Let’s Make a Deal” type shenanigans […]
The Viewfinder: Michael Jackson’s “Behind the Mask”
Hard to believe we’re already closing in on the second anniversary of Michael Jackson’s death. Many sites/blogs, certainly including this one, will be ramping up the appreciation of the King of Pop in the coming weeks, and as it turns out, posting this video is probably the best way to kick it off. “Behind the Mask” is probably the best song on the posthumous Michael project. Hell, it’s one of the handful of tracks where you can tell beyond a […]
The Viewfinder: “Someone to Love Me (Naked)” by Mary J. Blige
What the hell is Mary J. Blige doing? Sure, her record sales are in decline-so’s everyone’s! Just when you thought the Queen of Hip-Hop soul had learned her lesson after her first Diddy-related fiasco, 2003’s Love & Life, she’s re-teamed with Mr. Combs for “Someone to Love Me (Naked)”, a slight revision of a track that originally appeared on Diddy’s Last Train to Paris CD and is the first single from Mary’s upcoming My Life II set. You know there’s […]
The Viewfinder: Kelly Rowland’s “Motivation”
Poor Kelly Rowland. It can’t be fun being the second banana. Everything she does from here on to eternity will be prefaced or succeeded by a mention of Beyonce. Period. Never gonna change, unless something absolutely miraculous happens. It’s not fair-after all Kelly is a gifted vocalist in her own right and I’d argue that she’s more of a babe than Bee is (at least if you don’t subscribe to the typical American ideal of beauty), but as far as […]
The Viewfinder: TV on the Radio’s “Will Do”
It’s taken me a bit of time to really appreciate TV on the Radio musically. Aesthetically, as a largely black band playing music that’s not traditionally “black”, they’ve intrigued me from jump. Ultimately, though, I thought Return to Cookie Mountain (which the music press completely jizzed over) was OK. I actually didn’t buy the follow up, Dear Science, when it came out, although a friend hooked me up with a copy and it was (to my ears) a pretty vast […]
The Viewfinder: “Moves” by The New Pornographers
Canadians are funny. Period. In the vein of “the rise to the top of a rock star/rock band” videos like Tom Petty’s “Into the Great Wide Open” comes the star-studded video for Canuck supergroup New Pornographers’ latest single “Moves”. Even if Horatio Sanz wasn’t completely unrecognizable by virtue of having lost 7,000 pounds since his “Saturday Night Live” days, you’d be hard-pressed to find him here. Even harder to find? Ted Leo in drag. This video, which I discovered thanks […]
