May Decemberists Having brought up the Decemberists in a previous post. I want to point to the Quicktime version of the video to  16 Military Wives :: The Web Version.  Finest music video since that one the Replacements did for MTV. I recommend it for all ages.   I had a suspicion for a while that the vw commericial for Kings of Leon's "Molly's Chambers" was done by the same person who did Ted Leo's "Me and Mia" video. It was the whole central action framed in a window, shot from across the street  thing that made me think so (do you suppose that is a motif or a trope, or some other concept the pleasure of whose acquaintance I do not yet have).  They do not appear to be from the same source; though. The Ted Leo video was done by a person using the nom d'art associates in science, who has also done a Guided by Voices video for "My kind of soldier." 6:05:33 PM    comment [];trackback []; Nicole Poems More poems written by my niece from the set she gave me. Today a short one and a longer one. "Everything's Fine!" The world is healthy Gas is cheap People care about others We have world peace Our president is smart The ozone layer's stayin' strong People have the power Nothing is wrong Endangered species Coming back from the brink It[base ']s all good here (Wink, wink, wink) "What will they do?" I see my hands, folded on my desk Tan skin and bitten nails Veins run beneath my skin Strange lines cross my palm Each tells part of my life As I look at them I wonder What will they do? These hands of mine What future do they hold? Will they write a novel Great and moving Paint a picture Like the Mona Lisa Design an invention That will change the world? Will they pilot a flight To an uncharted planet Draw a plan To steal a priceless jewel? Will they juggle fire, Sculpt ice, Or will they simply be? Quiet and unmoving Content in themselves What do my hands hold for me? Nicole C. 5:58:13 PM    comment [];trackback [];
