JBox Fridays: New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle

Ok, so it's not Friday...but I've been notified with the following warning from blogger:

what the hell? alright, so i clicked that convenient little link and found out that a spam blog is:

What Are Spam Blogs?

As with many powerful tools, blogging services can be both used and abused. The ease of creating and updating webpages with Blogger has made it particularly prone to a form of behavior known as link spamming. Blogs engaged in this behavior are called spam blogs, and can be recognized by their irrelevant, repetitive, or nonsensical text, along with a large number of links, usually all pointing to a single site.


daaaaaaamnn...not only did they temporarily lock my blog, they insulted me at the same time! Oh well...here's this week's video anyway...yeah I know, it's a band repeat, but New Order had a knack for this kind of music!

JBox Fridays: Tainted Love - Soft Cell

AHHHHH!!! Large floating head in space!!! Seriously, while some of the previous videos have been pretty bad, this one goes the route of boring. I mean really boring...shoot, I'd rather they redid it with clips from the Coneheads movie just to make it better. If you don't know what i'm talking about, go check out that movie...it will all make sense...still, Soft Cell has a pretty catchy chorus in this song...

JBox Fridays: The Human League - Don't You Want Me Baby

If you can make it through the whole video without joining in on the chorus, i'll be impressed. As far as the video goes, I'm still trying to figure out what was with the whole vampire look. hmmm...One more bit about the band, The Human League is still together! whoa! I'll have to go searching around to hear what their latest releases sound like. I can't imagine what they would sound like in a non 80's synthpop kinda way...

JBox Fridays: Yaz - Don't Go

Now I KNOW you didn't think I was going to forget about today being Friday! Well for the one of you still reading my blog, here's today's music video pic. I don't really have anything interesting to say about the video, but I will point out two things that pop into my head when i watch it:

1. The guy needs a SERIOUS haircut
2. I always thought the lead singer was a guy for some reason

So, on another note, I'm going to start adding links to search for these songs as YouTube has started systematically removing music videos from their site. I'll get into my anger towards that in another post. But, for the meantime, here the link.

JBox Fridays: Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax

Oh boy, where do I start with this one. Well, even if you weren't a child of the 80's, you may still remember this song after it made an appearance on the movie Zoolander. Didn't see it? You should! The movie's hilarious! In the movie, they brainwash Zoolander to the tune of this song:


Anyway, getting back on track here...one of the reasons why I picked this genre of music was to see how truly ridiculous some of the videos could be. Well, this one just left me speechless. Well, no not really since I'm "talking" to you about it right now. Apparently they made two versions of this video. The one I embedded above is the second one. Here's a not so safe for work version. If you want a hint as to the content of the video without clicking on the link, let's just say it wouldn't surprise me if this is still a favorite in gay bars...

JBox Fridays: New Order - True Faith

Well, because I'm bored...and more importantly, because i CAN, I'm instituting a new "feature" for my blog this year: JBox (Jesse's jukebox) Fridays. That's right, now you can come to my blog and not only be annoyed by my words, but also my taste in music! :o) This year, i'm going to try to keep a theme: 80's British music ala New Wave. Ok, so i tried doing some research into whether or not the music I'm talking about actually is New Wave and now I'm not so sure. But whatever it is, you should see at least a lot of similarities in the songs.

Today's choice is one of my faves: New Order! I'll let the band do their thing! Hope you enjoy it!
