I have loved Mika in the past, but this music video is quite frustrating. From the very first frame this was aggravating. The cassette player was crude and extremely off putting for me. It just comes off as “Hey look at this zany piece of older technology that I use instead of an ipod as a way to convey that I am deep and all alternative,” The video then progressed into a bunch of zany dancing in a zany room. The issue is that it was was weird, but not really weird enough. It has a safe weird coating. A coating that lets the artist appear deep and really hip and cool, but at the same time lets the song be some mainstream noise to be bought up on Itunes.

In comparison to previous Mika songs We are Golden is mediocre. It has a generic feel and doesn’t quite resonate beyond any of the other poppy noise going around. The tune feels a bit repetitive, and the breaks in the song are overpowered by the chorus making the song seem overly blaring. I have listened to a few other songs from his upcoming album and they sound a lot more promising than this zany mess.

This clip had me drenched in tears of laughter which is quite hard to do. My favorite clip from Real Time ever so far I guess ya. I kind of get the feeling that Bill is a bit full of himself. Though I bet if you asked him he would humorously agree. I kind of pity those American Poets though. Their minds have been twisted by sexual repression and lack of self control. Shame that they besmirch the Republican’s family values facade. hysterical

Not my favorite song and I don’t quite like their music video. I know they are trying to be all cool artsy fartsy, but seriously all the stuff they have in the video has been done before and been done in a more humorous and palatable way.

Body Bags to dance in? Mr. G. has claimed them as his own.

Oh and your balloon dancers look relatively normal in comparison to the Internets dancing balloon guy.

In all seriousness I love Animal Collective, but not this music video.

My review of Bruno in the youtube format which I am too lazy to summarize into text. Simply put, see it and be prepared to see a bunch of “dirty” things.

Just saw Bruno will be doing a video review of the film a bit later. I saw this video Bruno Movie Quoting Taskforce and thought it was extremely relevant, and was a great idea. Though the actual video is kind of mediocre, it is a fair warning of the incoming Bruno Quote storm. Use movie quoting sparingly.

Well played
