OMG, I love it all!
A long time ago, my friends and I were really in to a band called The Sea and Cake. My friend Michelle and I even hung out with Archer Prewitt (the guitar player) once, outside of The Casbah, and talked about guitar playing.
And then there's a new band called Broken Social Scene that I'm really getting in to. Turns out they did a 7" together and it's just perfect. It just came in the mail the other day. In a non-record-friendy package, I should add.

Then, I was doing a little research on a couple projects I'm working on, and I stumbled on to this music video:
They Don't Care About Us (Prison Version)
Apparently, Michael Jackson did two videos for this one song. The original version has MJ dancing around the streets of a village with a bunch of children. This version features him in prison. This was around the time of one of the child molestation trials, so I presume the motivation behind this second video was either to distance him from little boys or to show him as a martyr.
The video is surprisingly well directed, and it looks fairly modern. It was a fun surprise for an uber-MJ-fan like me.
Oh, I'm just happy. That's all.

Have you ever seen the "Ghosts" video? It's sorta rare, and the quality sucks. But if you have 15 minutes to spare give it a watch.

Apparently it was written by Stephen King.
I liked it; it's super weird. I'm definitely bummed that we won't get any more videos from him.

"They Don't About Us" is easily in my top 10 Michael songs....
We should have a discussion in person next time I'm in San Diego about the "Invicible".

Invincible. Oh jeez. :) Yeah, I would love to discuss! I'm looking forward to your next visit.
