Well, I had written a long post about music that I thought I posted a week ago, but I guess in The Great Computer Crash of 2007, it vanished into a dusty corner of cyberspace.
If I had loads of free time (and video cameras and appropriate programs), I would make music video parodies, taking the songs' lyrics literally. (A good example would be Hoobstank's "The Reason"--I'm sorry that I hurt you and ran you over with my car-- except that their video was not intended as a parody.) For instance, I would like to see a video of Coldplay's "Clocks" where an actor is really shooting an apple off of someone's head and snarling tigers are waiting to be tamed. You know that song that goes "you love me but you don't know who I am"? I'd like to cast a transvestite. Dido's "White Flag"? You got it-- let's see someone really go down with the ship. REM's "Losing My Religion"-- I want a boy who is blind AND lost AND hurt. (Which actually makes sense. It would be easy to become lost if you were blind, and being lost, you might trip and hurt yourself.) These are the things I think about when stuck in traffic and listening to the radio....
