The History of Music Videos

 

Polyphonic guides you through a full history of music videos. I find the research, knowledge and editing to be so impressive.

Above you will find the series from the beginning and going to near the end of the MTV era. It is at that point - the early 2000s - where I personally lose interest. If you're interested in watching the full history/series, you can find that here. 

Popcorn in Bed - Forrest Gump

Cassie and Carrie watch "Forrest Gump."

You can read my thoughts on the theme of the film (or one of the themes of the film) here.

New Neil Breen Trailer - Dire Duplicity

The trailer for Neil Breen's new film "Dire Duplicity."

I'm not sure but it seems, in this film, Neil Breen is playing Fantasy Neil Breen - the world's greatest secret agent, soldier, hacker, computer scientist, terrorist.

Late Show - Top 10 Things That Sound Romantic When Said by Barry White

If you've been following this blog, you've certainly seen this before. But it bears repeating and this is the officially-released isolated clip.

Does it bother anyone else that the category is "Top 10 words" but then some of the entries are phrases? I'll try to get over it.

JAZZERCISE...

Brits Try PA Dutch Food

A few notes.

Red-beet pickled eggs are my favorite. It would be my #1 recommendation except when people actually take that recommendation, it never turns out well. People who didn't grow up with them seem to be utterly repulsed 100% of the time, so I guess they're not the best idea.

Secondly, birch beer is also worth trying.

When it comes to pie, these kind of taste-tests are always Shoofly pie. Every time. That's fine, as far as it goes, but everybody's sleeping on Funny Cake. Funny Cake is the superior dessert.

Anyways, kudos to this family because they really went all out and over-performed.

I just wish people liked red-beet pickled eggs though.

Dave and Jim Downey

Who is that in the thumbnail, is that Estelle Costanza? No. Is it Jim Downey's mom? No, that's Jim Downey.

Apparently there's a new documentary out all about Jim Downey. It's called "Downey Wrote That" and it apparently covers his time as a writer for Letterman and SNL. I'm not big on movies anymore but I'm gonna have to find this one.
