Why are you running away

I picked up the latest Hoobastank record. It's not good or bad, it's music. Just kind of one of them types of albums. In my opinion, one of their all-time great songs is "running away". The video completely sells the song with the dreamy images of the two lovers superimposed over the band and the screens behind them. One of the great vids of early 2000:



Feel free to do a search on Youtube for a better version, they are making it so you can't embed music vids anymore.

Yup

I previously posted a link to a girl on Youtube, calling herself "Community Channel"; she's a funny young Australian chick that makes some funny vids. This girl; Spricket 24, is, uh, not so funny. But, she's easy on the eyes...I would say one of the best looking red heads I've ever seen, which is probably why she's on the top hits on youtube. It's funny with American girls, even through Youtube you seem to inherit their baggage. Search her page and you'll see what I mean.

Check out her vids here.

Music Vids in Chi-town

I've been catching up on my music videos on FUSE, been noticing a lot of new vids are being shot in Chicago.

The Plain White Tees, "1, 2, 3, 4":



The Fray, "You Found Me".

And lastly, Rise Against's video for ReEducation (Through Labor), which I think is disturbing. In a post 9/11 world is it really necessary to show Chicago after a staged terrorist attack by a bunch of motorcycling riding hipsters? I used to be a big fan of the band, but their new stuff is off the tracks, and it's meaning is lost on me. This goes for the video for Audience of One, which is supposedly about politics, but goes off on a visual tangeant about war, and the actual song is pretty much unrelated to the visuals. Artists need to rethink their messages for more clarity.
