MSN Video Blog: Life In MotionMurmurings of the world caught on camera

May 16 Top of the flopsNot trying to be cool or anything, but I don't watch Big Brother. It's boring. Hence my ignorance over Chanelle. In fact the first I saw of her was in the reality show MTV Chanelle Wannabe PopStar where over a matter of weeks, and to the sound of torturous barrel-scraping, a turd gets polished and a 'popstar' is born. And this, my friends, is the sorry evidence:
So, was it all worthwhile? Judging by some of the comic gems on the MSN Video comments board, the answer appears to be a resounding 'no'. My top three, in no particular order, are: "SLUT! She can't sing, dance, act and I hate her." (cobblers89) "What a load of crap. But then again what would anyone expect from a talentless chav wannabe." (ttfq) "As much talent as posh spice! That means zero talent." (casus72) Better stick to the day job then Chanelle. What was that again? April 30 Altered imagesI'm pretty lucky that I actually get paid to watch music videos (amongst other stuff, of course). There's so many weird and wonderful ones out there, and it's the weird ones I like the most. Often, a decent video can really enhance a song - the disturbing imagery on Aphex Twin's 'Come To Daddy' springs to mind. More recently I came across this one from Animal Collective, a cool indie/experimental band from New York. But I'm sure there's even more bizarre ones out there - send me a link to your favourites if you can outdo this:
World's worst school runOne great thing about getting older is slowly forgetting rubbish stuff you had to do as a kid. Going to school, mainly. Crammed onto a bus in a hideous bully-magnet uniform, only to be confronted by some unspeakable crime against humanity - usually double Physics - is now thankfully a mere spec in the mind. But if that seemed bad, check this out. Crossing a raging river to get to class?! Surely no-one has ever had a worse school journey than this?
April 08 Dancing KingWhile these days Michael Jackson seems more interested in dressing his children in veils and dangling them out of hotel windows, once upon a time, old surgery face really knew how to put on a show. Check out this video from 1992 - it's frankly amazing (over zealous crotch-fiddling notwithstanding). I can't think of any pop star of this current generation that moves as well. Timberlake? No chance. Come back to Earth Jacko, all is forgiven.
April 02 Ghost townI think we can all agree high streets are a nightmare. Slaloming round the dog mess, drunken nutters and wobbly pensioners armed with three-foot-wide trolleys is such a chore that by the time you get to your destination, you wish you hadn't bothered. But wait. There's a new urban peril; a stunt called 'freeze'.
I'm really not sure what to make of this. Artistic statement, just a bit of fun, or more pointless than Paris Hilton's film career? Perhaps a bit of all three.
