6.12.08 Marconi plays the mamba

Category: dribblings

i saw this video this morning.

 i like it a lot, it looks like it was done in one take, but with all the jump/skip frame (i dunno what ‘technique’ you call that. i just remember it from the ol’ Sledgehammer vid.) i guess you could cheat and it would still look like it was in one take. i’m not sure if the band is called Vampire Weekend or if that’s the song title, and i don’t have to know, because i’m old.

so then i changed the channel to VH1 classics and watched some videos that they used to play when MTV was great. mr. fleegan was eating breakfast and i was drinking coffee and watching steve winwood and chaka khan sing about higher love. jimmy says to me he says, “let’s learn a second language.”

“okay.”

“what language do you want to learn?”

“funk.”

“jaimie, you can’t learn funk. you’re either born with it or you’re not.”

“… i suppose you’re right.”

“george clinton would bitch slap you right now.”

“well, what language do you want to learn?”

” *mumbles* whitebread.”

“hey!”
