let's just have a moment of silence for debbie gibson's "electric youth" video.
that is an epic fucking video, perfectly distilling elements of '80s videography while, at the same time, predicting the key elements of early '90s pop videos.

You have roused the sweet memories of my own electric youth through the black and white/burst of color shots. I believ this was also used for Color me Badd's "Sex YOU up", but I could be wrong. Either way I hate that shit. It makes me think of those gauzy handtinted wedding photographs... All black and white except for the cloying pink roses and bright gold weddding band.
*hurl*

ew cloying pink roses and gold wedding band! just go ahead and get your picture superimposed in the brandy glass next to a persian cat and a rose why dontcha!
writing that stuff on 'electric youth' has given me (yet another) project idea...which would basically be an expanded version of the "e.y." analysis, plus other videos that "shaped" me...it could be really awesome but maybe boring & cheesy.

this year for nanowrimo i plan to write a novel about a metal band in 1988 that stumble upon a resort which appears to be abandoned but really its crawling with zombies and then they all die.
so um yes. write the theory for me. ok? give me some stuff to base my story on.

OMG this is awesome!! you must do it.
here's a theory for you-- what if Guns n'Roses actually were eaten by zombies in, say, 1989, and to cover it up, Geffen kept hiring replacement musicians for everyone except Axl & Slash, who are actually expensive animatronic robots?

what if guns 'n' roses were actually zombies that well geffen was controlling them somehow, maybe with a voodoo man and well every now and then their powers failed and they all went on a groupie eating rampage. and with the records well, i guess they would have hired musicians just to play it for them and then OMG lipsyncing zombies.

back to your idea for the metal band at the zombie-infested resort...what if they were practicing some "black magic" in preparation for their stage show and accidentally created the zombie rampage themselves??! death metal zombie! hair metal zombies! groupie zombies! this is beautiful.

so the black magic created the zombies, but why was the resort deserted and surrounded by dead bodies in the first place?
i'm thinking disgruntled employee somehow killed everyone.
