Brian’s List of Let Downs

  1. H-Street - “Lick”: Alf Rowls was decent, but the video was terrible.
  2. Girl - “Mouse”: great camera work, but very disappointing skateboarding parts, terrible music, & too many stupid skits
  3. 1st Chocolate vid - “Nine Lives of Paco”: the entire video stunk
  4. All the Thrasher videos: ghetto camera & production work
  5. Stereo - video everyone waited for Jason Lee’s final video part. It stunk, along w/ the arty jazz & fuzzy film
  6. Real - video w/ yellow cover but cant remember the name.
  7. Plan B - “Second Hand Smoke” They lost all the stars Mike Carroll, Rick Howard, etc… Could never repeat the success of the last big 3 vids
  8. 1st Alien Workshop video: This was to be the 2nd coming. Everyone waited so patiently. Way too arty, not enough skating, but very good Dinosaur Jr soundtrack. Bo Turner’s impossible were sick. The video sucked did have one great line: “saw the royals on the tube today”
  9. The all time biggest let down was the Color video. It was Kris Markovich’s newest company, back when he was king. They had an all-star line up. Kris, Jeremy Wray, Jason Dill. The video was so crappy I coulnd finish it…

Hey, I was wondering if someone could tell me the name of the tune played in the Public Domain video when Chet Thomas, Ray Barbee and the other two (can’t recall who) are doing they’re scene. IT’s like right at the start.

MUCH appreciated.

Thanks
