Feel it still



This is my official groove of the week: "Feel It Still" by Portugal. The Man.

Hey, I don't name 'em.

It even makes my arthritic left knee want to dance--which I did just yesterday in my apartment, to no ill effect other than embarrassing myself in front of any neighbor who might have taken a gander through my open blinds.

I have no idea what the video is about, nor do I care. I rather wish all new videos just offered a creative setting for a straight performance with out all the "I'm getting my money's worth out of my film school degree" techniques, which ultimately are rather yawnable or just ruin a perfectly good song. Less is more. And some things are better left to one's imagination.

Any similarities to "Le Palladium" and every other 1960s (in situ or -esque) James Bond/surf punk tune is purely incoincidental, I can assure you.

Dance this mess around


It's Friday. It's time to hippy hippy shake it with "Le palladium" by Liz Brady, "une femme de Paris," who was actually born in Cairo to French and Greek parents.

This song is currently being used in a Stella Artois commercial in North America (the one with the guy doing "hat tricks" at a party).

Oh la la. Groovy man.
