Intentions

The whole point of this day is for me to do a blog day about an artist i really admire, but keep a real sense of mystery about him. In my thinking mystery=distance and to create the greatest distance I would try to insert more of an authorial voice into this day than is called for. that would obfuscate stuff. Ultimately I pulled back though. so much that I thought about making this day a simple playlist of imbedded youtube and imeem media. that didn't work either. what you're reading is a what I came to in the end.

I'll believe anything pt 2

so, here's the video for I'll believe in anything. Maybe i overkilled this song earlier. If I was single I'd play it for girls. I'd gauge their reactions. that would be key. they would see so much in me. things would fall into place. who knows. Regardless, The video's noteworthy because it's Barry Lyndon on a budget production adds so much, and contains excellent sound design and overdubbing of effects. I love when randomn narratives intersect. that what happens here.

Blog days should have interviews with the celebrities they are celebrating. I tried to break that rule, but couldn't.
