OK, I know I complained about the blog videos in the past, but I got curious and clicked over to check out the website that hosts them . . . you know, to see what was there. Well, I came across the new Nine Inch Nails video for the song "Only." After watching it, I decided I had to share it with everyone because it reminded me of a music video from the '80s by Aha (sp.?). You know the one I'm talking about--unless you're too young to have seen it, let alone remember it.--it was "Take on Me." Obviously the music and sentiment share nothing in common, but the style and medium of the video have an interesting parallel. Both depict being trapped in an alternate plain of existence visible to and of physical reality, but seperated and sharply divided from it--the inner fantasy world juxtaposed and competing with reality.
Anyway, enjoy!
Anyway, enjoy!

Cheers-Thanksalot!

I don't know much about NIN, or the A-ha video, but I think the video is pretty fun and funky... the autoplay function doesn't bother me so much since i plug my earphones into my computer and don't think about the sounds it's making unless i put the headphones on...
Boo bye now!
