| My response to "Let Me Borrow That Top"; i do hope you read this description as I think it helps clarify my point; I also hope, of course, that you'll rate & comment & subscribe :D Anyway: Somehow it's just not the same old irreverence. Or--at least it feels that way. But--at the risk of being fatally sentimental--I really have to wonder: what happened? Why doesn't this do for me what Shoes did? (why didn't txt msg, for that matter?) It seems to me--with all these teaser trailers, margaret cho arching eyebrows at ninjas (nothing 'gainst the woman, mind you), and 4 minutes of lukewarm foreplay building us up for...--that byt this point Liam Kyle Sullivan's begun taking himself seriously when all he really had going for him before was the wacky, random irreverence--and he's somehow compromised that. It just--isn't the same. Or something. Like remember the first time you saw that robot? or the superhero face off with him at that pool party? or the flaming hula-hoop? (all of this, mind you, is in the video for "Let's Get Some Shoes") Part of me--a very cynical part--wonders "Was that talent or dumb luck?" I guess this is all just a really long-winded, rambling way of saying "I'm disappointed somehow, again." But what do you think? Does anyone else feel this way--or differently?--about this music video, or txt msg, or Shoes? ~Palmer |
