So it's Saturday morning, and I've put on vh1 to discover that each video they play, from new Bon Jovi to Shinedown (not much of a variety I know), is a complete letdown. These tunes are lumps and shards of the worst rock music of the past two decades or so. When it's not rock music, and it's dance instead, the mute button improves the videos to something almost enjoyable, with sexy butts and midriffs, unclothed, oscillating all over the screen. And then there's Owl City, a band benefiting solely from another band's lack of prolificacy.
However, PBS is showing some cool footage from the Ed Sullivan theatre, and please please please please, don't take this the wrong way--I love them--but they're focusing too much on the Beatles, and not enough on the awesome stuff I haven't seen a million times, ie. Tommy James and the Shondells, the Animals.
Better and more entertaining than all of this, however, is this great video from Casket Architects' recent show at the Tuscan Cafe in Warwick, NY, their hometown:
