Talking Heads - "Burning Down The House"/"Life during Wartime" Live (Dir: Jonathan Demme)
Talk Talk - "It's my Life"
Talk Talk’s frontman Mark Hollis is an...well...unusual artist...at least when compared to most of the others 80'ies hitmakers. After Talk Talk's third album "The Colour of Spring" he convinced his fellow band members (keyboardist Tim Friese-Greene, bassist Paul Webb, and drummer Lee Harris) that it was about time they changed tracks.
Hollis had become increasingly fascinated by...silence...and clean mellow tunes. The next couple of albums presented the listener with looong slow but beautiful passages and soundscapes, - something that made their record company EMI pretty damn pissed. Talk Talk had turned their back to commercial success and were instead aiming on musical integrety...EMI were furious and kicked them out.
I later read an interview with Hollis in which he stated, that they'd all made the money they needed to be able to focus 100% on creating music they wanted and not the music the charts were craving for.
The last record I heard with Hollis started with 2 minutes of complete silence...after which Hollis hits a single key on his piano...followed by another 40 seconds of complete silence. Not sure I like it, but then again...Hollis and co could probably not care less...they've made enough money to live comfortably the rest of their lives.
Anyway...check out this classic…Odd thing is that except for the first Talk Talk album, the music is pretty much timeless...:

Not sure this counts as either 'cool' or even 'funny', more like Sabotage without any subtelty. Kept me entertained for its duration though. Embedded flash movie.

Discussion: MTV2 moves Subterranean to 3am permanently
They'd rather show Jackass and Viva La Bam repeats at 11pm.
This is close to death knell for the show. No reason for bands to even appear on it.
Where do any of you see videos on television any longer? Do you at all?
