ABC - GET NEAR THIS


ABC -- THIS SHITS GREAT !

Sorry to be so blunt, but I'm a man.... Lets not futz around. This is great music. Yes yes yes its a bit limp wristed on the pop bent but so what.... get a load of the lot of unintelligible angst ridden gristle we have to endure today on commercial radio.

This shits brilliant.

I like the sparse visuals .The power of the chord in the lens. Its RIGHT IN THE LENS MAN! cHECK Out the wild flying cam thats doing a high angled arc over the band. Check out how the singer is flat on his back watching the entire thing unfold. Check out the multiple edits. This was DONE WITH STYLE MAN. This was before monotoned chroma keyed effects and rapid fire editing and stylish graphics that scream NOTHING ... at 120 decibels.

I don't care if you don't like it.... I really don't. But my god, where is THE STYLE IN TODAYS VISUALS. i WHINED about this on the Kinks, Do It Again video. Sometimes things are classic for a reason. I know the bald guy in this video adds nothing more than a fly you want to swat.... but he adds a bit of comedy relief.

Its STYLE MAN. Its ilke.... ELLE magazine with a pulse. in fact this song was featured as the background music to a Miss America profile of some red hot blonde cuties on a beach waterskiing back in the 80's. It was perfect yes. I liked it YES...... Should there be more attempts at videos like this?

Yes why not.

I like the rhythm of this piece too - it moves. It shakes... its got a sense of purpose. Is this a coheisve look at my entire music collection.... certainly not. But I will say this. Its very interesting. I was blasting this best of CD ABSOLUTELY a few years back. My buddy goes... what is this? Man.... I forgot how many cool songs ABC put out.

Yes yes.. ITS CLASSIC I TELL YOU.
