Actual music videos!

Continuing the joy of digital cable, I can actually see music videos again. And what I saw didn’t suck. Watched Foo Fighters on Friday night on MTV2’s $2 Bill. They were fine. I had just gotten MP3s of a couple of acoustic performances Dave Grohl did on Howard Stern, including an incredibly sweet version of Everlong (“Only thing I’ll ever ask of you / You gotta promise not to stop when I say when”), so it was a bit of an FF weekend. Then caught videos by The Distillers and The Hives, and all I can say is, Where the hell have I been? Grabbed a few more of their tunes and loved The Hives especially. Seriously demented high speed fun. And yes, if I like the MP3s, I DO buy the CDs. It’s a demographic thing, you kids wouldn’t understand. Also got turned on to The Donnas again; I had started collecting some of their stuff when my drive crashed on Labor Day, and now I’ve remembered they exist. Very much fun.
