A Bowl of Stupid

I’ve been in various states of disrepair for the past couple days, so I’m not really up for any serious posting. I had a good weekend, but it was long and taxing (I spent time with my 6 year old niece – ’nuff said). I hope to write something substantial in the next day or two; but for now I’m limiting it to a quick note on a music video.

This is one of those great songs I grew up listening to in my teens, but I had otherwise forgotten about for years, until I first watched the brilliant move “Layer Cake” when it came out in 2005, and when I just watched the movie again the other day.

For anyone that doesn’t remember, “The Cult” was one of England’s leading heavy metal revivalists of the mid-1980′s. They were an interesting mix of the hard rock aesthetics of “hair band metal” and the psychedelic flourishes of the “neo-hippie” movements of the time. The result was something akin to The Doors mixed together with The Smiths, Led Zeppelin, Prince, and Def Leppard. This song is a great example of that sound.
