As it gets closer and closer to the date of doom when we have to write either a boringly predictable end of year music video list or put together a collection of hideously glittery over the top festive themed videos that look like they were all filmed in the Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two studio the more often we start our day by exclaiming, ?Christ,? which is, if you think about it, actually rather fitting.
After a hecklerspray piss-up last week in the home of no cash-machines and topless fighting children, or Newcastle if you will, we forgot all about the wonderful world of the music video and so this is being brought to you from haggard hands.
Not just any haggard hands though, festive haggard hands which we can surely all appreciate as we scoff brandy soaked cakes in our gasping mouths?don't you just love Christmas?
Before the onslaught of seasonal spirit we present to you over the course of the next week here is an actual decent song by our favourite little Hip-Hop trio Das Racist.
The videos not very good, but just like them, it has swathes of charm.
Besides anyone who manages to make a Nirvana t-shirt look vaguely cool after the age of 14 is okay by us.
WATCH IT.
So, apparently there's a band called Tripple Nipples and apparently they have a song called LSD which all sounds like it might be vaguely interesting and we're going into this as blind as you are.
The still images are frankly terrifying though, so it's a good start.
Well that sort of just happened didn't it? When they say they like their LSD, you believe every syllable they yelp deranged and helplessly in your direction. At least they saved you the trouble of trying actual LSD because now listening to it is just as terrible as dropping it. Happy Christmas nightmares.
What is with this new phenomenon of the short film as music video? We just don't get it. It's depraved and is a blemish on the name of good short films everywhere, especially when it's the likes of Duran Duran and that bloke from Oasis that are marketing their new careers with them. The average brain can't handle more than about ten minutes at a time which is why we have dreaded advert breaks and we ladies and gents have a very average brain, not least when it comes to this dirge, you shouldn?t need an ad break in a music video?here?s looking at you Duran Duran.
Their star-studded music video for ?Girl Panic!? is nine minutes long and absolutely cocking annoying. You could watch the four minute version, but where?s the torture in that? If we're watching Naomi Campbell, Helena Christensen, Cindy Crawford and some other underweight coke-addicts then we're watching them in full unadulterated glory… RIGHT?
If you can even consider what it might be like to witness Naomi Campbell ?acting? as Simon Le Bon then you still have no idea of how despicable this is. Not only is more than half of it a simple rehashing of the glory days of the band so good they? PLEASE KILL US ALL RIGHT NOW.
This little slice of Euro-Dance has a polished and shiny video to match its audio. What it does also have in abundance is androgyny, you know, if that's your thing.
HAPPY YULE BERKS.
