I've only recently discovered Pickard Of The Pops, a weekly column on the Guardian website in which promotional music videos of the popular genre are dissected and analysed like an unsuspecting frog in an O-level Biology practical. Laid bare, scene by scene, they really are exposed as either (a) pompous heap of overblown pretentious tosh, (b) feeble excuse for pre-watershed semi-nudity or (c) shoe-string budget gibberish made by orang-utangs on uppers. My choices, in the aforementioned categories, are:
(a) I Don't Love You
(b) Umbrella
(c) Nuff Buzzin
Enjoy (or something)...
absolutely love it
ReplyDeletenot quite what you'd expect from the newspaper in question, but that is the beauty of "online".
I remember listening to a radio breakdown of "popular" songs on BBC World Service when serving my time as an English Teacher in Bulgaria in 1994. The most annoying was a review of Duran Duran's comeback single ... don't recall the title ... but it almost made me chuck the radio out the window.
