I spent a lot of my life trying not to get "lost in that hopeless little screen".
Feel free to read why:
In each lifetime there are a few moments where you know enough to see and appreciate something that is perfect that is occuring where you can see it. Occassionally, these moments were written and recorded and will be available within a few years on DVD.
For me, the montage of all the different ways and times that Dean and Hank died which was shown in the season opener of Venture Brothers is one of those moments.
In the nineties, I was sitting in a trailer in what used to be a swamp in the middle of a corn field in middle rural Michigan. I had access to MTV, Comedy Central, TMC and the local stuff and the basic cable stuff on the television. I saw one movie that decade in a theatre. CB4 (because the radio told me to). On the radio (and I listened to the radio a lot) I had access to and listened to Ann Arbor Public Radio and a lovely little college radio station from MSU.
The video for Been Caught Stealing was one of the laughs that my television gave me.
I think the college station played 100 ways for me first.
I remember saying "its not my usual genre of music, but there are some real musicians playing this music, I think" when my kid questioned me for buying the cd.
It was a challenge for me to get the sound together with the visual for this online flash thingie.
It was worth it.
