Music: Crystal Castles

I think I’m going to post more music videos on TiFaux.

It may seem like a bit of a distraction from our main topic of television, but I have justified my music posts before. Basically, I can excuse myself for shifting focus because MTV doesn’t really show a lot of music these days, rendering a lot of videos useless (especially indie ones).

Plus, with the lack of television news to write about in recent months, there’s a lot more going on in the music world than on TV. You have no idea how hard it’s been to come up with shit to write about over this summer.

Here’s Crystal Castles’ scary new video for Crimewave.  It mixes zombies and hipsters.  The result, as you may be able to guess, are some people who look very, very hungry.

Raising the Bar: Tackling the real issues

I’ve had the series premiere of Raising the Bar on my bedroom floor for a while now. The good folks at TNT decided they wanted some coverage of their fledgling legal drama on this humble blog, and sent me the pilot far in advance.

However, my ability to procrastinate on watching said DVD far outweighs their initiative in sending it weeks ahead of time. As such, I have nothing to say about TNT’s new lawyer drama — except this: get a load of Zack Morris’ hair.

“Well, hello.”

The show stars Mark-Paul Gosselaar as the ‘idealistic public defender’ archetype.  Thus, he pairs his stylish, fitted suit with long, tangled, devil-may-care tresses.  It’s ivy league education meets the gentle carpenter.  It’s all-American earthiness meets exotic heartthrob. Mostly, though, it’s a continual (yet foolhardy?) effort to distance himself from our favorite adolescent imp, Zack Morris.

God bless you and all three of your names, Mark-Paul Gosselaar. Early notoriety is hard to overcome for any child actor and you may never earn yourself a clean slate. But all you can do is try. Some may have fallen in their quests (when’s the last time you called Lark Voorhies, M-P?), but good luck in your efforts.

Meanwhile, if you’re actually interested in the content of the show (it’s about lawyers or something), here’s a preview…
