Film. Print. Needlework.
See, this is what happens when you get too big for your britches. This is what happens when you have people around you that no longer know how to tell you no. This is what happens when you try to stretch the limits of your creativity. You get the video for "Unleash the Dragon." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWBCuHeZUUg … Continue reading #InternetKilledtheVideoStar Vol. 10 – Unleash the Dragon
Bored Ambition is far from prudish. I definitely don't shame kinks, unless you're into kids or animals, those aren't kinks, that is reprehensible and you deserve to burn in hellfire for three eternities. With that being said, even now, I have limits. Back when this video came out though, I had even more. t.A.T.u. was … Continue reading #InternetKilledtheVideoStar Vol. 8 – All The Things She Said
This video felt like an event. Missy was at the top of her game coming into her sixth album The Cookbook. Ciara was coming off an impressive debut season with her album Goodies. Fatman Scoop was still yelling over records from here to London. Brings a tear to my eye how fast time passes. This … Continue reading #InternetKilledtheRadioStar Vol. 7: Lose Control
Let me preface this for a certain segment of the population: I got a lot of internalized misogyny to work on. You do too, even if you don't admit it, so don't try to be high and mighty above me. With that being said, let's get into some straight up West Coast gangta shit. All … Continue reading #InternetKilledtheVideoStar Vol. 6: Bitch Please
Yo, I tell you what I want. I want to celebrate this shit. Quite honestly, while impressive, this isn't one of my favorite videos. It was done in one take in the Midland Grand Hotel in St. Pancras, London. Sporty Spice did a back handspring (which earned her my devotion). They ran around and fucking … Continue reading #InternetKilledtheVideoStar Vol. 5: Wannbe
Let me preface this by saying that after almost 22 years of this song, I cannot stand it anymore. I'm from California, I live here. I can do without hearing this song ever again in my life. Even on the rare occasions that I do decide to be amongst the peons, if it comes on, … Continue reading #InternetKilledtheVideoStar Vol. 4- California Love Part 1
Sorry, this ain't about the song written by the Honorable St. Michael Joseph, of the Gary, Indiana Jacksons, First of His Name, Last of His Kind, Walker of the Moon, Ruler of the Neverland Realm. Instead, we are visiting another song with the same name by the Honorable Madonna of House Mononym, Appropriatress of Vogue, … Continue reading #InternetKilledtheVideoStar Vol. 3: Human Nature
This is the song that predicted all of this shit. Tell me, I challenge you, that we are not living in a world of virtual insanity. Granted, Jay Kay, the lead singer of the funk/acid Jazz band Jamiroquai wasn't really getting into cell phones and computers and all of the goodness that we enjoy today, … Continue reading #InternetKilledtheVideoStar Vol. 2: Virtual Insanity
If you're looking for Rihanna or Fifth Harmony, you need to leave, because they're not here. With that out of the way, once upon a time, music videos were my life. My brother and oldest sister were in middle school and high school when I was but a wee lass, empire being the farthest thing … Continue reading #InternetKilledtheVideoStar Vol. 1: Sledgehammer
