Music Monday – One Take Edition

I am an absolute sucker for one-take media. Movies and music. I'm sure this won't be the last time I do a series of one-take videos. I prefer it when the one-take is real, but sometimes well-hidden cuts are acceptable. Dodie - Cool Girl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dI2eAwHM9uE I just love this song and this video. I really enjoy this style of sort of, "raw dancing" where it's a little messy and unstructured. I also like the sort of, symbolism of Dodie being slightly "off" from the other dancers, it fits with the themes of the lyrics and theme of the song. It…

Also, it's a bit "Music Monday-ish" as well, since it's Tuesday, because yesterday I posted about the Alanis Morrisette Concert.

Music Monday – Featuring Aurora Edition

So I've been doing album write ups on Fridays, but sometimes I do still listen to singles and one offs and songs not on albums. So here's a new series, starting here in Blaugust, where instead of doing albums, I just talk about videos and songs I enjoy. Also I'm calling it "Music Monday" because it's not very original and I am a sucker for alliteration. The Chemical Brothers - Eve of Destruction https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYsXKhBknyM Look at me, cheating already by just doing Aurora videos (well not all of them). I once made a comment on the Aurora Discord that my…
