Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the cele domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Julien<\/a> posted about this vid, and I watched, and listened, and had a visceral reaction … which, when I later read Julien’s comments, turned out to be very similar to his. <\/p>\n

There are so many things to love about this vid, and much to make you ponder about how we react to unfamiliar situations – even such wonderful ones.<\/p>\n

First off – what a great rebuilding of an old classic Phil Collins tune, given a whole new life & spirit from this performance. It’s something so much more – or at least so totally different from the original. New art builds on old art, so lets be careful about how we treat our art. Next, why do we prefer to buy music than make it? And why does music in public places make us so uncomfortable? Look at all those stiff people being treated to a truly fantastic musical performace, and how long it takes them to loosen up (note that even the song is built to shake them lose … there’s that pause when people think it’s over, and then they start up again, and people are finally grooving). But watching this (I’m one of those awkward guys, who gets nervous when stuff like this happens), I kept thinking, man these guys are bold. I’d be staring at my shoes – even if I were in the band. Other notes: do you miss Video Hits<\/a>? Or do you think this is a better way to find new music? (I mean the youtubes of the world, not the Parisien metro). <\/p>\n

Now: <\/p>\n

Watch the Fancy Produced Video.<\/a> Which do you like better? Why?<\/p>\n

By the way, the band is Naturally 7<\/a>. Question: do you think their music career has been hurt by putting this video up on the net for free?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
