Maneuver The Drum Sideways

After hanging around YouTube a bit tonight, checking out the Bongwater offerings, I gotta say, I'm disappointed. Considering the boho artsy leanings of the band, you'd think they could make better music videos, or at least work with better directors. Nope, the pickings are pretty slim, and what we've got just doesn't impress. Here's one for "The Drum". Kinda ho-hum. It was 1990, and I'm thinking it was the era of the lo-fi music video, the obvious reaction to the big budget glossy videos of MTV's first decade.

Whatever. Lalalalalalalalalala...

Bongwater: The Power Of Pussy: "Obscene And Pornographic Art" [mp3]

For the better part of seven years, during my lo-fi 4-track era, I wanted to be Kramer, the musical half of Bongwater. During this same period, I wanted to have kinky sex with Ann Magnuson, the vocal half of Bongwater. Nowadays, I still think their records are fabulous fun, but I'm more inclined to ape Animal Collective and fantasize about Zola Jesus. That's just the ephemeral nature of pop culture, right?
