It's probably the years of watching and working bad student productions that jaded me 529 00:22:13,460 --> 00:22:19,860 and probably I probably need to give it some credit for being an early 90s work but is being 530 00:22:19,940 --> 00:22:26,480 low budget a reason to just be so kind of cliche and overdone? Afterwards I kind of went back and 531 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:32,520 watched other Beck videos. Honestly my final point in his work is that he should just stay purely in 532 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:39,440 realms of sound like amazing music fantastic shy videos like all of them i liked this video when i 533 00:22:39,490 --> 00:22:44,320 first saw it still like it it's got a certain certain charm to it which i can't really can't 534 00:22:44,380 --> 00:22:48,500 can't really place i don't think it kind of matches the randomness of the lyrics and stuff like that 535 00:22:48,710 --> 00:22:52,560 my only real complaint about it is uh it's difficult to talk about in a podcast because 536 00:22:53,060 --> 00:22:56,300 you don't really know what the fuck's going on still like it still like it's all and i'm actually 537 00:22:56,370 --> 00:22:59,879 gonna go and listen to more back stuff because i did it kind of made me realize that i'd never 538 00:22:59,900 --> 00:23:03,720 actually properly listened to him over the years. I've never listened to Beck before, 539 00:23:04,220 --> 00:23:09,860 so this is my sort of first experience. But I like this video. I think it kind of serves as a great 540 00:23:10,100 --> 00:23:15,340 timepiece of the early 90s. And I kind of think in a way it reflects to what many people do now, 541 00:23:15,620 --> 00:23:19,020 especially with smartphones. You know, people document their life, the fun bits, the boring 542 00:23:19,220 --> 00:23:23,820 bits, the pointless bits, and bits only relevant to them. And I think ironically we've come around in 543 00:23:23,820 --> 00:23:28,739 a full circle. And I think this video is a little bit ahead of its time, sort of documentary and 544 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:33,580 kind of recording everything. But I don't like this song. I don't like the pace. It just doesn't 545 00:23:33,700 --> 00:23:39,020 work for me. I find it really dull. I just doesn't really have a tune that resonates with me. But I'm 546 00:23:39,100 --> 00:23:43,920 after kind of listening to a little bit of Beck's recent work. I kind of much prefer that. And I think 547 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:48,580 I will give Beck a little bit more of a chance and maybe add it to a couple of playlists that I listen 548 00:23:48,780 --> 00:23:54,679 to and see if I can sort of learn to like it. So, best moment for me is Beck with the leaf blower 549 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:56,980 for no reason, for no specific reason. 550 00:23:57,140 --> 00:23:58,840 It just made me laugh when I saw it. 551 00:23:59,540 --> 00:24:01,140 I also quite like the sitar 552 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:02,760 part of the song. Sounds 553 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:04,960 really cool. And the worst moment for me 554 00:24:05,020 --> 00:24:06,760 is anything in the sepia tone, negative 555 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,840 filter that just made my eyes hurt. I just 556 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:10,740 really hated it. My favourite moment is 557 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,680 the opening shot where he's walking along 558 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,820 with a blurred head slash Stormtrooper helmet 559 00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:16,680 and he takes it off. I always liked it because 560 00:24:16,940 --> 00:24:18,440 I thought it was just cool that the 561 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,560 sensor thingy followed with him. 562 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:22,879 And I didn't know about the Stormtrooper thing until now 563 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:28,940 Although according to Wikipedia, the moment where Beck is wearing a stormtrooper mask is often censored for copyright reasons. 564 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,280 So it sounds like it's not always censored. 565 00:24:32,540 --> 00:24:35,520 It just depends on which version of the video you see. 566 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,240 So a lot of people out there might have completely different memories of that opening shot. 567 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,660 So I think that just adds to the intrigue of that particular shot. 568 00:24:43,740 --> 00:24:49,100 My worst part, at 1 minute 56, there's like a second of ridiculously overexposed footage. 569 00:24:49,420 --> 00:24:51,900 and I was leaning into my monitor 570 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:53,560 trying to watch for little details 571 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:55,320 and it nearly burned my fucking eyes out 572 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:56,680 so I didn't like that. 573 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,400 I can't see, thanks to Beck. 574 00:24:59,660 --> 00:25:01,340 Thank you Beck, but fortunately you don't need to see 575 00:25:01,370 --> 00:25:02,040 to do a podcast. 576 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,640 244 someone, I think it's Beck, 577 00:25:05,260 --> 00:25:07,220 sets himself on fire, just cuts off 578 00:25:07,500 --> 00:25:09,500 just before anything bad 579 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,460 happens. I don't think anything bad does happen 580 00:25:11,700 --> 00:25:13,540 but it just looks like he's engulfed by flames 581 00:25:13,860 --> 00:25:15,280 which I thought was quite hilarious. 582 00:25:15,620 --> 00:25:18,100 I just watched that part. 583 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,060 yeah it's like the guitar around his head yeah yeah so it's probably just i don't know what it 584 00:25:23,060 --> 00:25:28,260 is the vapors or whatnot but yeah it does look pretty uh pretty violent it look it looks like he 585 00:25:28,420 --> 00:25:33,140 explodes but yeah the worst part i put down the actual song itself 586 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:42,820 i mean i think that's probably a bit too it's a bit too harsh um no it checks out it's fine 587 00:25:42,850 --> 00:25:47,279 if you like it you'll like it yeah sure back doesn't mind yeah he can cry in his millions 588 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:52,760 I'm going to give it an eye because Beck nearly set himself on fire and I admire that commitment. 589 00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,580 If we had an option to kind of be on the fence, I would choose that. 590 00:25:57,940 --> 00:26:05,660 But I think I would probably give it an eye based on what Beck has kind of made from this point. 591 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,640 I'm going to give it a no and just hear me out on this. 592 00:26:10,220 --> 00:26:14,140 As a 90s music video, yeah, it's fantastic and everybody remembers it. 593 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,800 but I really don't think it stands on its legs nowadays. 594 00:26:18,180 --> 00:26:20,740 I think it's not good anymore. 595 00:26:21,220 --> 00:26:24,960 I just kind of looked at it through the eyes of not a teen and not a child 596 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,460 and it just doesn't do anything for me. 597 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,020 So I just, nah, it's not, nah. 598 00:26:30,460 --> 00:26:31,540 Still love Beck, but nah. 599 00:26:31,700 --> 00:26:33,140 Nostalgia has no power over Neely. 600 00:26:33,540 --> 00:26:35,720 It does, but not with the video. 601 00:26:35,980 --> 00:26:40,300 It was weird because I started off like that thinking this is just kind of meh, 602 00:26:40,580 --> 00:26:42,040 but it kind of grew on me the more I watched it. 603 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:44,560 Yeah, but I don't know.
