Sam Reviews a Video Songs I can't Listen To-Neon Trees

So Tyler Glenn is out and proud...wait we already knew that so I guess this video is just more him being adorable as hell showcasing the build up and decline of a relationship inter-spliced with band shots, some performance clips, and other random shit to kind of showcase the point of how emotions effect us all....and that's about it as typical as it sounds I'm highly disappointing really because this song is a pretty bad ass bit of 80's new wavey rock goodness and the video isn't really anything at all so I guess you can say rather then being underwhelmed with the single this time I just feel that way towards the music video....

Sam Reviews A Video: Being Beige-The Smashing Pumpkins

So around midnight or so The Smashing Pumpkins decided to release a new music video for their single "Being Beige," their first since Owata back in 2011 and that was less of an actual video and more of an odd short film involving professional wrestlers which was...unique..but I digress because now we're here at Being Beige and this video is also unique but less in a trying to make a movie but rather showcasing an interesting series of images kind of way.

In some way's the use of a person kind of flailing around on a moving image such as the moon that this video employees is kind of reminiscent of Disarm in a lot of way's with still shots of a very aged and tired looking Billy Corgan just kind of standing there singing this song spliced in between conceptualized imagery that goes from a naked woman on a moon, two naked twins holding each other, said naked twins being lit on fire over the sea on a rock, and some pretty cool shots of a bird all in black and white none-the-less you have a video that's all interesting shots with no real resolve which I personally don't really mind because it's not like he wasn't doing that stuff well over 20+ years ago and at this rate making an interesting little concept film keeps people talking about an already great single so i guess this video is just more interesting then anything.

Feel free to tell me below what you think....

Sam Reviews a Video: "Go" Meg Myers

So as i take a second to just kind of stroll through my facebook news feed I'm pleasantly greeted with a link to one Meg Myers newest video clip for her song Go and after viewing it I figured I'd have enough time to let you guy's know what I thought.

What we have here is a black and white performance clip with a lot of cut away shots and one FINE looking Meg Myers kind of crazily blasting through one of the more rock oriented cuts from her Make A Shadow EP which works for the most part because the song itself is a fairly dirty little number that kind of runs through and leaves you kind of high and dry at the end of it's 3 minute run time but I will have to say that this video had an overly 90's feel to it with a really hot female rocker kind of busting out a very under-produced video for a fairly aggressive rock number that's a good song in it's own right but overall doesn't really seem like much.

I guess while I'm impressed with the tune the video just feels kind of lacking but then again sometimes less is more and in this case I do think it's better that it's pretty much a performance clip of her erratic singing and playing rather then an overly complicated visual piece like her Hert Heart Head video.

Either way watch for yourself and tell me what you think...

Sam Reviews a Video..."Miracle," Kimbra

So Kimbra has a new music video out for her single miracle…..and prepare to hear that fandom come out here shortly because I might as well talk about the track for a bit before I uhm….dissect the video.

Miracle it’s a very kind of groovy little track that kind of feels like it was lifted from the 90’s with it’s very large chorus and it’s incredibly danceable vibes along with lines as joyously cheesy as, “ Send me your love again, ‘cause you’re my miracle,” which honestly sounds like something I’d expect Mariah Carey to sing which isn’t a bad thing considering that it also has this kind of vibrant 70’s beat that gives it a very danceable feeling to help those simplistic lyrics not feel as cheesy as they normally would and at about the 3 minute mark the song takes a brief second to kind of have this Discovery-era Daft Punk kind of spacey sound thing that’s really groovy.

All those little factors added up really do lead it to be one killer single that I find myself digging repeated listens in.

As for the video…well…I think I’m in love people…

OK I am more than sure if you were to take the time to look over the post I’ve made about this woman you could very easily pick up that I do in fact not only find myself a fan of her music but I also think she’s one drop dead gorgeous singer that I’d bend over backwards for the chance to charm in an instant and the fact that she decided to go by the whole idea of making a video as danceably fun as the track sounds is probably one of the best things for me because I get to see her just showcase the utter joy in her expressions as she belts out this track with some of the most amusingly awkward white girl dancing you’ll see this side of Taylor Swifts most recent outing.

All in all this is simplicity at its finest people because she’s not doing something as oddly quirky as 90’s music or as storybook as Settle Down but rather she’s just kind of having an obviously fun time with a really fun track and having her just kind of walk around and do some 500 days of summer like walking around and making the world showcase your elatedness through well choreographed dances is perfect.

Also she’s just so god damn pretty now isn’t she in that odd little red dress thing and always flashing that bright kind of infectious smile through the whole thing…..AGAIN it’s a crush people don’t judge…

Overall I’m actually quite satisfied with this video because it’s nothing too flashy and it works to kind of make the track feel as bright and fun as it’s intended to so I’m all thumbs up in this review and can only hope that I can acquire the Golden Echo’s sometime soon and maybe get a video for Love In High Places…just saying…
