DMed’s Video of the Week: New Pornographers, “My Rights Versus Yours”

Curiously, the New Pornographers have not made any videos for the singles from their new album Challengers (or not yet, anyway). This is a shame, because for a bunch of somewhat nerdy Canucks, they have made some fabulous videos, from the cross-dressers in “Sing Me Spanish Techno” to the smokin’ hot blond in “The Laws Have Changed.” So I had to settle for their performance of “My Rights Versus Yours” on David Letterman’s show, and while it’s a good performance, why on earth is there only one close-up of Neko Case, the best looking member of the band? There should be a law against that sort of thing.

Johnny Rotten strikes again

Oh, that John Lydon. What has he said now to stay in the limelight? Well, he ripped into a few celebs during a radio interview. He referred to Sting as “Stink,” saying “That’s like soggy old dead carcasses. You know, listening to Stink try to squeak through ‘Roxanne’ one more time, that’s not fun. It’s like letting air out of a balloon.” Oh, John, you are such a little devil still! Catch you in another few months when you feel like you need some more attention.
