I Want My Music Television vol. XC

There have been a couple of videos that have caught my eye lately so I thought I’d give them some love since the death of Musical Television left a void for a forum on the art form. If you are interested in buying the video through iTunes, click the title link (where available). If you are interested in buying the song, look for a link in the analysis.


Madder Red – Yeasayer



I guess we have Yeasayer to thank for giving us a little insight as how Kristen Bell could date Dax Sheppard.


Wake Up Everybody - John Legend, The Roots featuring Common and Melanie Fiona



I do not know exactly where they find the time, but color me excited for a collaboration album between The Roots and John Legend. Hopefully Legend carved out a week to join The Roots on Late Night to perform a bunch of the songs.


(Expletive Delete) You – Cee-Lo



Expletive lyrics have not been this catchy since Closer by Nine Inch Nails. Thank you Cee-Lo for raising my chances of getting mouth washed out with soap in the near future.


Bushwick Blues - Delta Spirit



Hurmph. I actually thought something was actually going to happen, but it was all build up and no payoff from Delta Spirit. At least the song is pretty decent.

Previewing Witness: Katrina

It is hard to believe we are already upon the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina which was officially classified as one five years ago today. It took another week before it wrecked havoc on the gulf coast where things still are not back to normal in placed she hit. Tonight at 9:00 the National Geographic Channel is taking a look back at the storm literally through the eyes of people who lived through it with Witness: Katrina.

All of the footage show will come from those on the scene from amateur cameramen documenting how they try to live through the storm throughout the Gulf Coast (but mostly focusing on New Orleans), filming as water rises above their waste, walls getting blown down and even the Superdome falling around them. The footage ranges over seventy-two hours of the storm starting with a bunch of hippies mocking at how un-scary a hurricane named Katrina sounds to hours after the storm passes as we join residents trying to rescue their neighbors who stayed with their house.

It is good they the show stays in first person for just the prelude, the storm, and in immediate aftermath so the special isn’t bogged down with the finger pointing, celebrities getting stuck in a boat or dudes with the nickname Brownie that came afterward, just an unfiltered account of real people in the path of the hurricane. The only addenda we get are an update of how the videographers are doing today. Check out a preview of Witness: Katrina below.
