Michel Gondry has done great things for Björk and his latest video for New Zealand's Steriogram is no exception. Watch the clip on their site. It's fantastic with a great concept - a video yarn - love it! This is one of those examples when a video renders a band with more merit than you would normally give it if you simply heard them on the radio or watched them play a set on MTV. Steriogram is of the rock/rap genre which is something I'm on the fence on. If it's from Fred Durst and co., I usually hate it. If it's from Korn and their likes, well, I think it's bloody well pretentious. So, O.K., I hate the genre except for that one song that I like whose title I can't think of right now. Perhaps Walkie Talkie Man isn't so bad because it's from New Zealand and the video's great? These days, videos can cover up a band's shortcomings so well, it's sad. But yes. The video's great, and perhaps tops my list of greatest videos.
