If you’ve seen the commercial for the new Apple laptop, the MacBook Air, you’ve heard the new tune by Yael Naim, “New Soul.” Apple successfully used Feist’s “1234” in an ad, and it seems like they’ve tapped another infectious tune for the Air ad. Here’s the YouTube vid:
Looks like that tiny apartment has some unexpected square footage.
I’m not going to sit here and tell you that I buy into the bullshit “rock/sex god” status of James Morrison. I never have and I never will. Then again, I’m not going to sit here and tell you that I don’t own the majority of the Doors’ catalogue (save for those two albums minus Jim), because I do. I think the Doors wrote some good, solid tunes, had a few big missteps, and had a lead singer that went from sex god to drunken bozo in a short time. That said, I think the L.A. Woman album is a classic work through and through, and certainly one of the best albums of the ’70s. Here then is the title track done up all video-like.
“Positive Bleeding” from the classic Saturation.
It’s the middle of January, and we already have a contender for Video of the Year. The beginning looks like a Sarah McLachlan cliché gone horribly wrong, with Alison Goldfrapp dressed in white lying on the ground in a forest, magic-hour light cascading down on her. Then she stands up, and you see that she’s wearing a white top, and nothing else. Suddenly, two leaf men sprout out of the ground, and the silliness begins. Even better is Dave Gregory’s appearance at the very end.
The money shot comes at the 1:26 mark, when Alison lifts her arms Scott Stapp-style, and you’re pretty sure you’re about to see something you’re not supposed to. Of course, you don’t, but hot damn, is it a fabulous tease.
Continuing with the recurring theme of posting clips from shows I’m barely familiar with myself, we bring you Morrissey performing the underrated single, “Alma Matters” (from the equally-underrated album, Maladjusted), on something called “Not the Jack Docherty Show.” The most I know about Mr. Docherty and his program is that it served as a springboard for one Graham Norton to become a household name in Great Britain, but according to his Wikipedia entry, he also caused quite a star by hosting the 2000 BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Awards and opening the night by revealing the ending of “The Sixth Sense.”
Nice one. Bet that went down like gangbusters.
