best of 2007 again?
a commenter (i should say, “my favouritest commenter ever”) made my list of fav songs into a handy zip file, which is like, y’know, totally rad. here’s some more of my favs, plus the rest, in a handy seeqpod (my fav new website) playlist:
(did that work? i find it works better in ie than firefox, for some reason)
music videos are a dying art, but some mighty fine death throes in 2007
i get bug nightmares (where as my brother, as some sort of entomologist probably has wet dreams about them), and this freaked the hell out of me
and then things get complex, as they are want to do
2007 was also the year i finally took some people up on their “the wire” promise, and now i’m a megafan. buy the dvds, or download them, just watch it. you live in a city in the 21st century? then yes. and the new season, woo-eee, mcnulty’s on the sauce, omar is righteously pissed, snoop is, well, snoop. feels like history in the making.

maybe dead on television, but some pretty interesting ways to do music videos online…
i too have heard lots about the wire, and have been meaning to give it a shot. dexter as well.

loving my new title, the truth was it was some major procrastination when I should have been revising. seeqpod works alright for me, have you seen the hype machine? seems quite nifty - http://hypem.com

yeah music videos will continue online, but they’ll never get the production budget they used to, and while you don’t need a lot of money to make interesting videos, production value will certainly drop and there will be a lot more experimental dudes-dancing-on-treadmills and chicks-lighting-fireworks type low-budget stuff… which has its advantages and disadvantages i suppose… but i want thriller-type spectacle too, not just more viral crap.
and yeah hype machine is pretty rad too, it’s in my firefox search bar right below youtube and right above seeqpod… so who are you mystery commenter, and what is it you are revising? :)
