vive le vide

I am incessantly watching the video for the new coldplay single

I dont' know why I am so fascintated by it

it's so . . . . . . . bad

somebody made it with their iMovie, along with the $59.99 digital effects package

chris martin's eyes, hair, clothing, body, and demeanor are conscientiously contrived to make him look caffeinated, stupid, eurotrashy, and horrible

it's like an animated version of every shitty "Italian" painting on the wall of every family-style Italian restaurant ever

the lyrics are just awful

here's some of the scintillating commentary


It's about Louis XVI....

"who would ever want to be king"

the end of absolute monarchy

thanks, APeuropeanhistory1066, here's an aesthete's perspective:

i dont like "rock" but music itself, this is music
it has what i think music should have
1.melody
2.harmony
3.good lyrics/chorus
4.a meaning
5.the right instruments
6.A unqique flavor from who you are

wow, it basically comments on itself so no need to debrief that one.
check out this spirited exchange:

bono sucks cocks in hell

isaacrobots (19 minutes ago)
shut the fuck up buttlord123 you dont konw shit

there are so many things wrong here I wouldn't even know where to begin

anyway, watch in high quality if you dare.
