Even though I posted this all over my other socials I feel I need to post it here too.
The most insane 80s music video I have ever seen. I felt like I was having a stroke while watching this. Also the insane amount of money that was spent on this music video of a cover of a Del Shannon song by a singing drummer is wild.
This is fucking insane. The massive kit that he only uses about 20% of, the dinosaurs, the playful faux-narrative.
That’s me watching this.
My face finding this out
More fun facts:

Won at the New York and Cannes Film Festivals

I wasn’t drinking to forget I was drinking to remember How I once might have looked In the eyes of a stranger When all hope should be gone Still the dream somehow linger Like the ghost of a snow storm In frostbitten fingers …
Last year I listened to mostly electronic blip bloop atmospheric stuff and old favorites. This year I treally tried to listen to new stuff, but I was also filled with rage so lots of angry rock this year (sorry not sorry).
No order at all, in fact some stuff towards the bottom are my faves, but all this stuff got me through the year. Lots of local or little bands mixed in with heavy hitters. All just as valid.
i made this, unsolicited, for @abloodymess and @tha–snazzle nearly a decade ago, and it still makes me laugh that this was my “compromised” version after the 11.5 MB original would not upload to tumblr in March 2012 (and it still won’t!)
