Dear @ellemagazine I love this #BTS #WomeninMusic video @aliciakeys @haimtheband @jessieware @angelhaze

“I don’t want to date Robert Plant, I want to be Robert Plant.”

“Shit. *laughs* I don’t know how to rhyme ’concrete’ with anything. “

Yeah it’s eleven-and-almost-a-half minutes, but watch the whole damn thing. Consider also, why they choose - in such an obviously perfectly lit setting, with a track and tripods and professional ops - to use so many shots which show the C-stands and the monitors past the background, and why they use steadycam and rack focused shots. Why they use video of the photo shoots, instead of the shots from the photo shoots. Why the slating, and people messing up. If the medium is the message, are they succeeding in getting across that real, gritty, beautiful essence that is these women? Is the edit the most flawless thing ever?

(And relatedly, why the hell people hashtag their own shows/videos instead of letting the fans do it.)

Here is the great video for Pistol Annies’ “Hush Hush,” which has been lodged in my brain for more than week now. And here is something I have written for Slate about the seemingly unlikely but increasingly cozy relationship between weed and country music. And now I would like some green bean casserole please.

This video is fascinating to me because I wonder how many of the cringe spots are lost on the broader audience it’s probably going to get (though my only evidence is music critics / a general sense of critical milieu, and the YouTube comments getting all suddenly foodie.)

(Also fascinating: where are all the teenagers? Well, yes, also getting high in the house or in the woods, but not on camera. It’s like the anti-millennial video.)

This video is my teenage years, except with weed. If they’d had the weed, perhaps the rest would have turned out differently?

But seriously, the dresses, the potluck, the cadence of the preacher holding the audience who can smell the damn pot roast and just wishes to be let free, the petty gossip and double standards, it’s spot-on.

And the article:

“Or maybe, like the fed-up narrator of “Hush Hush,” it has just become too exhausting—for country music and for America itself—to maintain the charade of sanctimony at the big dinner table of public life, to keep tamping down the truth that everyone knows everyone else knows but doesn’t want to let on that they know they know.”

That’s why I left the Baptist church, ya’ll.
