What a mid video. The only interesting things are the flashing images and Liam Gallagher’s signature leaning-with-hands-behind-him pose he does. A video much worse than the song, which is great. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6611b855cf48d21e19d6e080/cde3b6f5-e676-44cd-84c5-5cec99e30ede/Parklife.jpg Amy's Blog - The Best Songs: Brit Rock that didn’t Break America - Blur - Parklife (Official 4K Music Video) P.S.S. the video for this song blows every other britpop video out the water. All of these bands had incredible images, why was Blur the only one who could put it into a good video? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6611b855cf48d21e19d6e080/68a7289f-3a00-45a2-9b14-2c35aca94289/SheBangsTheDrums.jpg Amy's Blog - The Best Songs: Brit Rock that didn’t Break America - The Stone Roses - She Bangs the Drums (Official Video) P.P.S.S. This video is quite bad. It’s just the band playing, and not even synced up to the music. The point of a video where it’s just the band playing is emulating the energy and awe you’d experience if you saw them live. Why have the recording of them playing this fast, upbeat dance song be slo-mo? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6611b855cf48d21e19d6e080/c7f439c4-8523-49e1-88a9-e818ded6f0af/TownCalledMalice.jpg Amy's Blog - The Best Songs: Brit Rock that didn’t Break America - The Jam - Town Called Malice P.P.S.S.S. For the early days of MTV this video isn’t terrible, and I guess their silly-looking suits are meant to reflect their 60s obsession, but why is there so much glare? Also, the audio quality sucks. Here’s a better version. The Jam - Town Called Malice (1982) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6611b855cf48d21e19d6e080/49ffc2ad-916a-4ff8-aecf-9e5df9495a30/JustLikeHoney.jpg Amy's Blog - The Best Songs: Brit Rock that didn’t Break America - The Jesus And Mary Chain - Just Like Honey (Official Music Video) P.P.P.S.S.S. I actually talk about the video in the main segment, so I’ll let you read that when it comes up. It’s a good video! https://www.amyriedesel.com/blog/the-radio-at-my-work-is-terrible-enough-that-i-wrote-this-article-about-it monthly 0.5 2025-04-01 https://www.amyriedesel.com/blog/venting-my-political-frustrations monthly 0.5 2025-03-26 https://www.amyriedesel.com/blog/why-did-invasion-of-privacy-win-best-rap-album monthly 0.5 2025-03-01 https://www.amyriedesel.com/blog/a-dark-song-for-a-dark-time-the-best-songs-ghost-town monthly 0.5 2025-02-21 https://www.amyriedesel.com/blog/emilia-prez-is-an-insultingly-bad-movie-it-might-win-best-picture monthly 0.5 2025-02-02 https://www.amyriedesel.com/blog/my-favorite-songs-of-2024 monthly 0.5 2025-01-10 https://www.amyriedesel.com/blog/the-straw-hat-pirates-and-their-dreams monthly 0.5 2025-02-02 https://www.amyriedesel.com/blog/pop-music-isnt-getting-worse-capitalism-is monthly 0.5 2024-09-19 https://www.amyriedesel.com/blog/a-beginners-guide-to-charli-xcx monthly 0.5 2024-09-09 https://www.amyriedesel.com/blog/this-labor-day-listen-to-woody-guthrie monthly 0.5 2024-09-02 https://www.amyriedesel.com/blog/the-most-underrated-moment-in-the-game-of-thrones-books monthly 0.5 2024-08-14 https://www.amyriedesel.com/blog/do-fallout-1-and-2-hold-up-my-experience monthly 0.5 2024-07-12 https://www.amyriedesel.com/blog/hot-to-go-chappell-roans-perfect-cheerleader-pop-song monthly 0.5 2024-06-13 https://www.amyriedesel.com/blog/eminem-has-brought-back-slim-shady-should-he-have monthly 0.5 2024-06-06 https://www.amyriedesel.com/blog/silver-springs-so-much-more-than-the-stare monthly 0.5 2024-05-18 https://www.amyriedesel.com/blog/a-beginners-guide-to-kendrick-lamar monthly 0.5 2024-05-11 https://www.amyriedesel.com/blog/as-drake-falls-i-can-only-think-of-one-man-phil-collins monthly 0.5 2024-05-06 https://www.amyriedesel.com/blog/jesus-christ-kendrick monthly 0.5 2024-05-01 https://www.amyriedesel.com/blog/blog-post-title-four-7mekn monthly 0.5 2024-04-29 https://www.amyriedesel.com/home daily 1.0 2025-07-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6611b855cf48d21e19d6e080/4ac48569-5498-4aa4-ac08-7940196f8f5c/Amy.Riedesel-2912.jpg https://www.amyriedesel.com/about daily 0.75 2024-07-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6611b855cf48d21e19d6e080/2e7c95a2-5f1a-4a85-87bb-6c9eaf50590d/SeriousPose.jpg https://www.amyriedesel.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-04-28
