Every time I think I’ve become a genuine fanatic about something, there’s always someone who can outdo me.  I guess it’s the nature of the internet where the most fervent, psychotic devotees will shout the loudest and get heard.

What I’m leading up to is that even though I am a self-professed sucker reality TV, there are many people out there who have the fever way worse than I do. Case in point, the people who compiled this (pretty amazing) video.

It’s a total cliche for reality TV participants to say, when called on their bullshit, that they’re “not here to make friends.” If they are really up a creek, they’ll throw in the “I came here to win.” And now, the good folks at Four Four have driven home just how big of a cliche it is.

Watch in disbelief.

I’ve known about this site for a while now, but I’m just getting to post about it now because you guys have to see one of these clips.

Let me back up.

There’s this French Web site called (of course) La Blogotheque. They make little films out of performances by various indie musicians (filmed in locations around the world). They’ve got Jose Gonzalez, The Big Sleep, Hutch and Kathy from The Thermals, Bon Iver, R.E.M., etc. In short, a pretty strong guest list. With each performance, they put the artist in a sort of unique location and incorporate some sort of interesting art film-y angle to the video.

To provide you with an example, here’s a video of Wet and Rustling by the band Menomena. You guys, you have to watch it because about halfway through it gets to be the cutest god damned thing I’ve ever seen in my life. And, you know, the song is good too.
