I asked for more arguments like this one<\/a> — which is to say, compelling, self-produced video theses — and I think that A.M. Baggs’s<\/a> “In My Lanuguage<\/a>” most definitely qualifies. <\/p>\n

The pull quote:<\/p>\n

Far from being purposeless, the way that I move is an ongoing response to what is going around me. Ironically, the way that I move when responding to everything around me is described as “being in a world of my own.” Whereas if I interact with a much more limited set of responses and only react to a much more limited part of my surroundings, people claim that I am “opening up to true interaction with the world.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Watch it the whole way through.<\/p>\n

Deeply moving, deeply persuasive — for many anyhow — and yet, some people<\/a> still miss the point. I find that dismaying. But then, I’m encouraged that so many others respond with empathy,wonder,&respect.<\/p>\n

…<\/p>\n

&the guy who says<\/a> the first half is Sigur Ros, the second Radiohead, is — aside from callously clever — rather unfair to the spirit of Radiohead. Tho I do appreciate the distinction. Sigur Ros always seem pretty sensual,capacious&capricious to me. In a good way. And moreover, not unaware of what they’re doing. And then there’s that whole Hopelandic<\/a> thing, of course. (Not to cast myself in the whole — hey, that’s not a language in the Chomskian sense<\/em> — crowd. [wtf?] It’s pretty clear those guys’re missing something.)<\/p>\n

But while we’re on the subject, have u seen this one?<\/p>\n

So, I suppose if this has become another one of those “YouTube posts” (tho I think the term has already passed into redundancy), I may as well share another lovely (video) mix of form and content, of message and music (and by music<\/em>, I mean poetry<\/em> [and music]). This one from India, a photopoetic “Sufi fusion” Punjabi treatise on the mystery of, well, g0d or something, but I’m not much concerned with whatever it is he might actually mean. It’s more the way<\/em> he means it. <\/p>\n

Ignore the Deep Forest<\/a>-y \/ Enigma<\/a>-tic aspects and attend to its filmic qualities, its effective edits. Boring breakbeat and mild treacle aside, it’s a strong statement, expressly expressively expressed, knamean. (&yet, still wildly interpreted<\/a>! So it goes. C’est la vie, c’est parole, c’est musique.) [merci, jbj]<\/p>\n
