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.
