Damn, this is worse than Princes "Planet Earth" and "MPLSsound" put together not to mention that I'm sure Sheryl Crow was doing this stuff at least 10 years ago...

c'mon Ingrid Chavez, save us....

What a great video, really enjoyed that. So fun that they did it this way. Wendy and Lisa are so cool with their fans.

that just made me cringe.....

It's really refreshing to be told about an upcoming project, then to get to see the finished product. That doesn't happen much in these parts.

That's our very own HamsterHuey behind one of those.. In fact I recognize quite a few of those faces.

Oh and loved the vid, I think it's great that W&L included the peeps who buy the music in this project.

It is great that they love and appreciate their fans so much that they include them in their video.
It was nice not to have to pay $77 to view it either.

This is the kind of artist/fan interaction the world needs. Great fun video. It's nice to see that W&L are as cool as one thinks they are.

That was great! You guys in it were really brave (and good!)

nice 2 C W&L tarted up 4 the VID.

I miss Herman, so it was good seeing him in the video.

And Madartista is the one with the Fancy Lesbian t-shirt, isn't he?

indeed.

Good music is dead. That includes Prince. Wendy and Lisa. Mainstream. Underground. All the great songs you need to hear have already been written.

I sincerely hope you're wrong about that.

muleFunk said:

That was my reaction as well.

ShinNihonKikou said:

eye laddie thats what they said after Mozart's requiem!

Must admit that I am not over keen on the tune, but the concept and vid are innovative and amazing, i thoroughly enjoyed that aspect.

ShinNihonKikou said:

Ah, so you've reached that age.

Or, you listen to mainstream radio/TV.

....You're wrong, by the way.

I don't really think anyone can come up with anything new, inventive, or meaningful anymore. The music business is basically dead, and the movie industry is releasing crap for the masses. I place Prince on that upper echelon of music artists over the years, he's right up there with all the greats. If Prince can't come up with anything too meaningful or new, I don't have much faith that anyone else can, either. As far as movies, well, Kubrick is dead, and his works got less and less important over the years. His last work, he thought was his best, but most others didn't. My other hero, Woody Allen, the popular consensus is that he's not what he used to be and is repeating himself. Prince is in that same boat, musically. What's left? A Michael Bay movie on the movie side, the equivalent of a Beyonce or Mariah Carey song. No thanks.

So W&L make a video for a track from their last album, and it marks the end of music and popular culture as we know it?

So that's what they meant by the term "power lesbians".

Is it the music? or does the video distract you

The music is really good

I think it's brilliant - and kudos to W&L for continuing to push the envelope.

Viva la virtual!

I like it, but all the fan clips are a bit random. Perhaps there should have been a brief, like the fans had to be doing something in particular and it could have been woven into something with some continuity or a loose storyline. Still cool though.

That was fun to watch!!

The music.

Well hey! I liked it! I wanna know all about those lyrics now...
and what the heck is MC5?

MC5 was a seminal Detroit band - "Kick Out the Jams" and all that.
