Bill-Payin' Fool

This is the first installment of a whole "BoreBlogging" series.

According to Wikipedia:
   Boreblogging: Writing about personal matters that are barely interesting even to the writer.

I suppose one might argue that this defines my entire blog. sigh....


Anyway, today was bill-paying day. And you know what that means... put on some headphones and listen to music videos all day. I only paid one bill, but I listened to a lot of good music. Here are some of my favorites from today.



Shirley Manson. There is no more to say.

Garbage - Milk



Ok, seriously, this is the best music video ever produced. Stephane Sednaoui has done a number of Bjork videos, but this was the best. Yeah, the music rocks, but the video is so simple its almost zen-like. Standing on a flat-bed tractor trailer driving through the crowded streets of NYC. She also did a nighttime version, and I had a difficult time deciding which was better. In the end, I really love her energy as she moves around the flatbed on this one - classic Bjork. She didn't move at all on the nighttime one.

Bjork - Big Time Sensuality



I really like the Sneaker Pimps, although they pale in comparison to Portishead. Mostly because I love the whole trip-hop genre, even though it was rather "trendy" - WAS is the operative word, 'cuz its time has come and gone. Kinda like me.

Sneaker Pimps - 6 underground



Ok, I admit I'm a Limp Bizkit fan of sorts. They certainly have their limitations, and their videos (including this one) are juvenile male-fantasies. And this is one of the only songs suitable for consumption by the general public. Something about combining rap with head-banging rock REALLY appeals to me for some reason.

Limp Bizkit - Take a Look Around



Why don't they make good grunge music anymore? I really miss Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, etc. This is standard rock concert footage. But daaaammnnn - I swear I'd do Eddie Vedder.

Pearl Jam - Black



Ok, Korn kicks it - straight up. It scratches an itch somewhere. Its like taking the 90's band "Living Color" and kicking it up several notches. And this is a cool video, although I'm not sure what it all means. I can't stop listening to the music long enough to concentrate on it.

Korn - Freak on a Leash



Yeah, all their stuff is exactly the same, but again, I really like the combination of rap and rock. Shinoda and Bennington compliment each other, but it gets old after a while.

Linkin Park - In The End
