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.

"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.
