Bizness

Happy February everyone! I would like to start the month off by sharing a music video for the song Bizness from the band tUnE-yArDs. This video does so many things well, and fits the energy of the song perfectly. The use of stop motion and shot replacement with the choreographed children in the beginning is wonderful.  A girl representing the lead sing of the band, crawls out from beneath her desk and starts singing, leading her classmates in a rebellion against the monotony that was their lesson and into an exploration of creativity.

I think each time Merril Garbus shouts "Don't take my life away! I'm the victim, yeah!" in the chorus she is calling to the listener not to succumb to drudgery, not to lose themselves in the routine of maturity. Don't become a mindless zombie, there is hope yet.
