<insert favorite music video here>

The song is "Close to Me" .. Song beats the video though. :)

I would post a youtube thing of the awesome video for Primus' song "Wynona's great big beaver", but I can't until I up my postcount. You probably know it and if you don't, check it out yourself!
 
Do tell when the exact moment when he found out he was ***. This should be interesting.

Oh, and nobody is posting videos anymore. Just another awesome thread tangent here at rab : )
 
Very nice.



The Tool videos used to scare me poop-less when I was in grade five and six. I used to dread turning on to Much Music everyday for a whole year because I thought I'd run into the Schism video any second. Of-course by ninth grade I loved Tool. And now I dislike them all over again. It's a strange relationship.

I've always had a weak spot for No-Wave banRAB every since I saw the Contortions play at the Thayer St. loft in Boston around 1979. At that show the volatile singer James Chance waded into the audience of slack jawed listeners and started random fistfights while he sang Contort Yourself. Talk about a confrontational band!

The video is the Contortions' sharabling rendition of the James Brown song I Can't Stand Myself. The junked up woman playing the slashing dissonant chorRAB on rythym guitar is Pat Place, the future founder of the pioneering girl band, the Bush Tetras.

The lead guitarist in the video is Jody Harris who went on to play in the Raybeats, the Golden Palaminos and worked on a nuraber of projects with Robert Quine and John Zorn. Harris remains one of New York's most underrated guitarists. James Chance has lived off and on in Paris for the past several years.

James Chance is hilarious in this video. He looks like Don Knotts on PCP doing a James Brown impersonation. The band has reunited every so often and the reunited editions of the Contortions have actually sounded better than they did in their prime.
