Cat Power - Lived In Bars (Dir: Robert Gordon)
Old indie girl with still beautiful freshness.
chan marshall's voice is unreal, i could do without this video though. i wish artists like this got better directors...
YouTube hides the fact that this was shot pretty poorly, actually, and hides some of the awkward reactions from the barfolks, though you can see a few of them. The video doesn't play off of Chan's strengths, sadly. Great song.
funny, eh? Kev, you quite often make a point of saying you'd like to see new videos on TV before making your judgement... Here you know how the online format has changed the way you view the video.
My initial reaction to the youtube video, was at least it looks like it was shot nicely and that it had a real honesty and charm.
Have I been duped by large blobby pixels??!
Without nice camera-work and a real feeling of honest and fun documentary, I'm not sure this video would have anything for me...
I've seen this on TV, actually. I'm not that good at reading pixels.
sorry kev, that's what I meant... dodgy grammar to blame most probably. I was saying it's good to have someone who know's the non-youtube version is pap, since I was none the wiser because of these dodgy compressed pixel movies.
