I did a short blog post this week, since I've been busy doing Jessica birthday things (she turned 26 on the 12th).

Nice masks.

I have no idea what to make of this to be honest, which makes it a typical 80's music video..

Adam Dravian:
That's actually my favorite New Order song, but I'd never seen that video. It certainly ranks right up there with Devo on the weirdo scale. But whereas Devo have a sense of humor about their weirdness, it's hard for me to picture New Order thinking their video is anything aside from high art. After all, how can any band formed from the ashes of Joy Division have a sense of humor?

I've heard that song many time but I think that may have been the first time I've seen the video.  Very interesting stuff.  It also inspired me to go watch other new wave vids.  I prefer Flock Of Seagulls over Devo though. 


Now that that's done I don't need to hear anymore new wave 80's shit for another couple of years.  Back to Rock & Roll and Blues

Rijst:
I don't know how I came across this video, after all it was made when I was still a toddler. I quite like the New Order songs I know but yes I think they take themselves quite seriously.

I've seen them live recently actually, they still do gigs but it was clear they're fed up with playing the same old songs for thirty-odd years. Can't blame them to be honest..
