setsuledWell, here's something hot off the presses for you. A mere six hours ago, the Talking Heads finally released an official video for their 1977 hit, "Psycho Killer". So that only took--what. 48 years?
Directed by Mike Mills and starring Saoirse Ronan, the video pleased the band because, "it's not literal, creepy, bloody, physically violent or obvious." Personally, I'd have preferred to Saoirse Ronan rampaging through her workplace, wielding a bloody knife. Come on, it is a creepy song. That's one of its good points. Well, Saoirse Ronan is always a delight in any case.
I was listening to a lot of music last night recommended by students at the latest school where I've been working. There's a group called Man With A Mission that wear wolf masks for all their performances. Unusual for Japanese groups, they sing some songs entirely in English. It's always nice to see a Japanese group try something new.
I see Budweiser has product placement in this music video, which is a really shrewd move on the band's part. Any Americans watching who might feel superior about American music will be reminded how watery and bland American beer is. So let's all accentuate the positive. I like wolves.
