Primal Scream - Country Girl (Jonas Akerlund)

Jonas Akerlund doing what he does best. This video reminds me a lot of his Smack My Bitch Up video

QT here

I disagree, this is nearly Åkerlund 101 (again). It was pleasant enough; but it wasn't very compelling or fun, which is disappointing considering his work has that in spades.

I'd be interested to hear what his thoughts on this vid are..

I think I would be scared to go out for a night on the town with Jonas Akerlund. As for the video, maybe he isn't exactly breaking new ground but it's still great. I think this video is way better than the Rolling Stones one. I actually kind of liked the main character and the cutaway singing footage was well done.

That's true. It's still moderately good. Comparison to Smack My Bitch Up (is that one of the best vids ever?) is probably a bit unfair here.

And yeah, what's up with the very unironic drug & violence celebration here? I love Grand Theft Auto, but this just feels weird.

i hated it. Akerland jumps the shark.

looking at his mvdbase; I see he did an Ali G video. I'll watch that now.

it's the drugs and violence that reminded me (besides that this is obviously the work of Akerlund) of smack my bitch up. I don't think the video is as good as that... also because I don't really like the song

I'm sorry to say this is the worst video he's done in ages, and the rope-graphics. just not good.


         
kliin, May 14, 2006 at 12:32:29 PM CEST

I'ts just boring. He should move on and do something new and interesting. All he's videos are pretty much the same these days.


         
alphamonkey, May 15, 2006 at 7:35:13 AM CEST

Weird. The chorus is a mix of Honky Tonk Women and Sweet Virginia from the Rolling Stones.

But yeah, that's a kind of tired video premise.

this is a fucking brilliant video - what do you people want your rockstars to be getting up to? eating tofu and working on their gardens? sex, drugs and violence are fun for fucks sake

more midnight cowoby than smack my bitch up this sort of reminds me of those aerosmith comeback vids with alicia silverstone and liv tyler giving it some pseudo les-lite action but this time with a real been there, done that vibe which is perfect for Primal Scream

good work jonas - a return to form

The absurdity just doesn't ring true for us, I guess.

It would have been a lot more fun (and country and poignant) had she been sent to jail and executed, laughing all the way. For some reason she doesn't become a Stagger Lynn here.. Maybe it's the song (for me). Let me know if I can wrestle any more enjoyment from this vid. Grr! Die Akerlund Die!!! YOU WILL MELT UNDER MY PLASMA RAY!! (zhew! zhew!)

I agree whole heartedly with the Hassinator. Fucking brilliant video, fucking brilliant song, fucking brilliant band.

Also of note that this is getting played at all hours of the day on The Box, coke booze, self harm and violence at 9:30 in the morning.


         
davidbowie, May 15, 2006 at 8:57:48 PM CEST

great video. You guys sure are a bunch of prude pussies.


         
progosk, May 15, 2006 at 9:39:56 PM CEST

akerlund's amorality is refreshing. this is pretty subtle for such an in your face song. amazing young lady, too. had me thinking kidman the whole way through.

kev - what are you on about?


         
knomadix, May 16, 2006 at 8:46:06 AM CEST

I'm with Kev on this one, snore-core even with a hot lady.


         
hassinator, May 16, 2006 at 11:36:15 AM CEST

jonas just seems to get away with more in terms of content - any other director does a sex, drugs, rock n roll fantasy and its relegated to post midnight grave yard slots.

that said "smack my bitch up" had 800% more viewers in that slot than ever before
