Sisters

Well, consider this a week of videos. I was planning on coming home tonight and writing a story, but by the time I got home from the art exhibit, I was too tired and it was too late to sit down and pump something out.

On a side note - the exhibit was awesome. It focused on the work of photographer Shane McCauley, who shoots a lot of urban environments - usually portraits. Ranging anywhere from Jamaica, Brazil, New York or South Africa. But I'll be honest with you - the man reason I went was one of my favorite music producers/DJs, Diplo, was there. He did a little Q & A and played for a bit before going back into the greenroom to hangout. And luckily, because of Jon Grado (who interned at the studio that was holding the exhibit), I had wristbands that let me go back and speak briefly with him. Super cool, down-to-earth guy from Philadelphia who just loves music and wants to share it with the world and expose everyone to the different styles out there.

What a great way to spend the night.

But I also have to keep you all happy. So I'm presenting you with a music video I have never seen until recently. You all know I'm a huge fan of Michel Gondry and his immense imagination, so when someone I currently work with told me their were a set PA on a music video he shot a couple years ago, I was floored to find out it was one I've never seen. So I went out and watched it and, per usual, was blown away. Not only by the creativity but by the sheer scope of it. Three different stories that somehow all come together at the end. Absolutely nuts. I tried at first to watch it all but found myself becoming lost too quickly, so I had to watch three separate times to soak it all in an appreciate it.

So how about you? Could you handle it all in one viewing? Or did you have to chop it up?
