Even the threat of nuclear holocaust couldn't fry our hormones: we have Teenage Fallout Queen to thank for that.


Actually, this is pretty damn funny!

When a cute French chick with zero charisma gets her first valium prescription, this is the tragic result. (Serge Gainsbourg tune notwithstanding):

...Too often do modern musicians go for gimmicks to give you an ethereal idea of what they mean where as with a Scopitone, a snake is a snake.

A snake is always, never a snake.
Pestles are good fun, figurative boomerangs are nicely.

Scopitone videos are a world unto themselves. They have their own rhyme and reason. They're both recognizable and Martian at the same time.

Scopitone 영상은 그들자신에게 세계이다. 그들에는 그들의 자신의 각운 및 이유가 있다.
They' 알아볼 수 있기도 하고 화성인 다시 동시에.

Very amused. I love this!

I am going to have to research more into these music videos, they're divine.
