FROSTY'S FLICKS FOUND AROUND
Blonde Redhead - Melody
A glimpse into another gorgeous day at the Blonde Redhead manor. Shot in such vivid sun-washed vision you can almost taste the ripe tomatoes on their tongues.
Iggy Pop and The Stooges, Live in Cincinatti, 1970
I've been reading the amazing punk document "Please Kill Me" so Iggy and the Stooges have been boiling on my brain. This is a clip of the Stooges in the prime of their on-fire freakiness. The straight laced tv host is hilarious trying to keep it all in the realm of reality. If he had known "TV Eye" stood for Twat Vibe Eye he would have given up instantly.
Newcleus - Jam On It
Forget about sugarplums dancing, this is what my daydreams looks like. I think this is the world Sun Ra was envisioning in the previous clip. Children of the world take note. Start your breakdance posse today!
MORPHO'S TALKIES YOU CAN DANCE TO
Lee Perry - Declarations in 1982
Crazy Lee pays witness to the great Selassie while raising a holler against racism and injustice. He also drops an impromptu melody about running in the mud and lets the camera sneak a peek of his legendary Black Ark Studio.
MC5 - American Ruse
Those Motor City upstarts kick-out a spirited lip-sync of “American Ruse” on an old TV Show called The Lively Spot.
808 State feat. Bjork - Ooops
While the 808 brainiacs were never video stars, the camera loves their co-star in this charming old collaboration with the princess sugarcube.
Lee Hazlewood & Nancy Sinatra - Some Velvet Morning
Take a waking dream into Lee Hazelwood’s seaside tale of love and Greek mythology. This tune would eventually be covered by Lydia Lunch, and later by Primal Scream. The wonderfully dated video looks like the cover to a romance novel. Nancy Sinatra floats like a flowery white Phaedra while Lee gallops down the beach in Zoro-esque loungewear.
Lou Reed, John Cale and Nico - Femme Fatale
The quality isn’t great, but the grainy footage and gritty recording seem somehow appropriate for this achingly beautiful classic.
