Don’t judge me. But I finally found the time to watch this:
Y’all didn’t tell me. Well, maybe you did. Was I paying attention? Perhaps not. What you should have done was anchor my ass to a chair and put the screen directly in front of me.
Understand, I got books to read, lesson plans to write, photos to edit, essays to write, an online journal to edit, all of Season 4 of Mad Men to catch up on… but still, this may have been a priority bit to watch. But that shit is dope. I dig the song, but you know, this girl loves aesthetics and narrative. Like, how we’ve taken key pieces of style (fashion, music) from the last century during uncertain and tumultuous times (WWII and 60s) and mirror them now. We’re searching for a cultural expression for these times… and it’s a pastiche, collage with our post, post modern technology and sensibilities. You may not feel me on this yet. I’ll come back and unpack it for you. I promise.
