The Wikipedia entry for German poptrance duo Blank & Jones states:
“Seven artist albums and 15 hit singles. That says it all. Piet Blank and Jaspa Jones have been hugely important in the history of electronic music.”
Which just goes to show that an encyclopedia written by the mob can’t be trusted. Wikipedia - for all my reliance on it - drives me nuts. Facts decided by consensus or the geek with the highest access level. Can you imagine universities run on the same principle? There’d be no quantum theory in the Physics course because after a brief discussion “We all think that shit sounds ridiculous” would take precedence over the the work of Max Planck (which is an excellent porn name by the way).
What was I talking about?
Oh yeah, music. Perfect Silence is a Blank & Jones track which comes with two aircore videos. The first, subtitled ‘The Night Version’ gets interesting 27 seconds in when the first nipple appears and then cuts between a ghostly woman lipsyncing, Blank and Jones twiddling knobs and a naked couple fucking on a bed. It would be better with less Blank & Jones and the lipsyncing removed. Then as just three minutes of a couple fucking on a bed it would get my highest rating. It looks as if it was shot by the same guy who did ‘Original Sin‘. Wind machines, flowing drapes and everyone in white clothing like a ‘to my dead homies’ rap video. So cheesy there should be blue streaks running through some of it.
The second, “Uncensored”, version of the video trades the band, the bed and the pale chick singing for a blonde stripper in chrome platforms who takes until 2m 19s to bring the nipple but who then is kind enough not to put her top back on. This would get my highest rating if the music had been replaced by the sound of the director shouting at her to rub her tits in German. “Donner und blitzen rubben ze nip!!” I don’t know how long this lady’s been stripping but her floor work needs help. You should never be bored watching a naked woman writhe.
Wunderbar!
that first one reminds me of an episode of “The Office” (the BBC version) which showcases David Brent’s music video.
As for the second, her floor work may need some help but she’s still better than anything thats graced my bedroom in quite a while (and she probably doesn’t have hairy knuckles, either)
Winter - You’re so right. It’s David Brent’s video to a tee. I can’t argue with the physical boom-bap of the stripper in the second clip but I can take the piss as only a cynical, ugly, bitter spectator can.
Wow. That was wack as fuck. An ample amount of nudity, and the only thing I can really remember vividly from this are those two dorks diddling their CD turntables in ecstasy.
Or ON ecstasy.
Bleh.
I’m really liking the new site design, by the way. Nice n’ economical.
Al - Thanks for the kind words on the design. I love it and it’s nice to know I’m not alone.
Time your masturbation so you don’t spill your mess while looking at a middle-aged DJ.
The first video appealed to me the most. The couple almost seemed passionate.
