And we’re back…
Okay, after taking a sabbatical of several months and inadvertently deleting all of my prior blog entries (not necessarily a bad thing), I’ve cranked up the motor and recommissioned this blog site. I’ve tweaked the style a bit and added some functionality behind the scenes. Ironically, however, I haven’t much to say right now about anything in particular. Anyone who knows me will know that will soon change.
That being the case, I’m planning on posting regular filler in the form of my favorite music videos. Back when I was first attempting to do this in earnest, I initially got this idea from a blogger up in New York, Chez at Deus Ex Malcontent.
Nice kid.
He used to work with my sister at one of the television stations down here in Miami, and he’s got the same inane fascination with obscure cultural references as I. However, he exhibits a set of writing skills which I sorely lack. I highly recommend you visit his site.
That being said, given my lack of originality – and motivation – I’m also going to post the video he had on his site that first prompted me to borrow this idea, “Home” by “Zero 7.” It’s one of those videos rarely publicized in the mainstream American media, and dates back to Zero 7′s more ambient electronica stage. It features the vocals of Sia, who I think has one of the most mesmerizing voices since Beth Gibbons of Portishead.
Hey, you know what they say, good writers borrow, great ones steal.
Alright then, to anyone playing along, keep in touch, and don’t mind the commercial interruptions.
