When this came out I think it revolutionized music videos, reminded people the Beastie Boys can rock and set the trajectory for Spime Jonze.

This song is an all time banger. This video is so sick. They look super cool. Hearing this for the first time is an important early memory of mine

Nothing funnier than watching grown men react like this to music. this beef was legendary and I'm glad videos like this exist to remind me just how iconic this moment was

Anybody remember a clip show about banned music videos that, incidentally, ended up on one of the networks that banned them? It was either VH1 or MTV2, and they ran stuff like Nine Inch Nails’s “Closer,” Pearl Jam’s “Jeremy,” and Prodigy’s “Smack My Bitch Up.” Anyway, I was glued to the TV whenever it came on and I think a lot of my aesthetic sensibilities came from that 90s-00s golden age, making me into (regrettably) a bit of a music video snob. No offense, but the VFX-driven spectacles of today just don’t hit when you cut your teeth on stuff from CANADA and the Directors Bureau (whose website sadly doesn’t even have their best stuff anymore). The unique exception is director Cody Critcheloe, who goes by SSION (pronounced like the latter half of *passion*), and his new video for Yves Tumor is nothing less than what I’ve come to expect from the multihyphenate: a hyperreal vision of Los Angeles replete with larger-than-life characters who are characteristically drawn up from real life, and handmade props that belong in a museum, but I’ll settle for a gallery. (In this case, it’s a smashed-up hand-painted sunburst convertible and a leather jacket with a The Cochran Firm logo.) It’s the stuff dreams are made of, cementing Critcheloe as one of the most exciting and visionary directors of our time (other notable mentions include Eugene Kotlyarenko, Anne Alexander, and Minister Akins).

I knew nothing about the workers movement when I first saw this documentary. But I felt an anger toward corporate power and exploitation suffered by the miners.

The more I walk around my neighborhood, I started to notice all the trees. I found this one to be my favorite.

when I want to feel European or Italian more or less, I make an espresso at 2 pm as a quick pick me up and break during the day.
