Fun/Powell: This video just sucks.
First off, Powell is super gay. All these dudes
are unconsciously and probably also consciously trying to get sponsorship visas
to Element or Deluxe (although the former distributor sponsorship hope is much
more realistic of an expectation than the latter).
The only continuity this video has in common with the rest of the library
of Bones Brigade videos (which releases have spanned well over the course of twenty years)-
is that George Powell (or who ever manages them), still has a talent for
collecting timelessly epic dweebs (wasn't Gershon Mosely
once on Powell?). The video direction manages to be derivative
(the intro riffs nine years too late on Tilt-Mode to be too wacky for any body's good)
while still maintaining a certain post Logic video magazine feel (videos where anyone can
become an am).There really is not too much to talk about, and I've only seen Fun once and
literally don't remember one trick from the video. What i do remember, is being
at the premiere after their demo @ Southside with said team in attendance
-yelling out right when the video silently commenced:
"Powell for Life!". How about instead :"Powell until it's inconvenient!"? Yeah,
that would have actually been better.-S.G.

DUDE, I heard Marc Johnson died of a heart attack in LA Yesterday
