Xiu Xiu - Muppet Face (video by Chris Cruse / No Performance)
More disturbing noise-pop from Mr Stewart, beautifully and nightmarishly illustrated in strangely crude digital animation. What the hell??
wow. the arms race, huh? this is up there with the dirty projectors for fresh anti-tech esthetics.
brilliant.
Two things: 1)This has already been posted. 2)It blows. -j
jesse: none o' my biz, but: where's the previous post?
This doesn't blow. This is great. I mean, I really liked it anyways.
Hmmm, I don't know actually. It was posted about two months ago though. I remember because there was a debate as to whether it was a good attempt at early nineties animation. Then someone posted a few Shynola videos to contrast it.
the way it starts off as if it were a NES parody but isn't makes the rest suck.
Yes, it was definitely posted before. Not good then, not good now. If you're going to parody something, you usually need to be much stronger and capable than the original source material. Otherwise, it comes off looking trite and labored, as this does.
yeah, i like the song so much more without thinking og the video
Be fair to good, intersting animation. This is shit.
It's easy to do better, so why substitute any sort of political message for poor quality? The point in that is?
With any medium of communication, delivery is nine tenths of the impact of the message.
Back to the cv pile for this rubbish.
