I'm surprised there is no hater thread for this.

I was talking to a friend today about ATWIAD release in general. I told him how there was Parade tour footage in the video. Then we decided this:

There should have been two videos released last week.

1) a lyric video (all the cool kids are doin' it dontcha know?) and use all the album cover animation for it; make it cutsie or whatever but just let it be that animation and the lyrics (think of all the colors and fonts to use).

2) use that one Parade show in the video either as a live cut; OR compile "Pop Life" from different Parade shows and overdub with the album version (or at least one good take from the tour that has good audio). There has to be good audio and video - enough of both - to make a great live video of some sort for the song.

But Spicer & McMillian thought eh - let's fuck it up in a bad way and hype it.

There is this thread https://prince.org/msg/7/471798

But yeah I agree. Ironically what you describe sounds a lot cheaper overall

Don't know how I missed that!

I wasn't going for cheaper, just infinitely more engaging, interesting, and lucrative.
