Blonde Redhead - 'Top Ranking' (... one pose per second)

submitted by bamdrew

1 decade 6 years 10 months 2 weeks ago

A video composed of quick edits of a young lady holding cute and interesting poses against the backdrop of a nearly bare wall. A bit mesmerizing, especially with the excellent musical accompaniment. Directed by the intrepid Mike Mills and featuring the adorable Miranda July.

Music is Blonde Readhead's 'Top Ranking' from their album '23'.

I like to think of its kind-of an anti-stop-motion piece.

lyrics are fun:

They have real shotguns
They were baby killers
But I warned you many, that they will burn down your house

...

What we need is a persuasion
What you give is a retaliation
I hope one day we meet again
I hope one day we love one another

I really liked this.

I think it would have been cooler with stopmotion instead of this semi-stopmotion, but still cool.

I like this more the more i re-listen. I shall explore.

Miranda july is a great artist and director... check out "me you and everyone we know" .. if youre looking for a good sunday afternoon flick..

I think the *80s wants their pants back.

Invocations (80s) cannot be called by arsenault185 because arsenault185 is not privileged - sorry.
