Genesis - the videos

i put this dvd on expecting to make fun of it.. and i did, but i also came a way with an understanding of what genesis was trying to do. they were trying to mix pop sensibilites with prog rock. the results are laughable at moments, but they do prove just how adaptable pop music can be. any genre can be reinvented adn inturpreted thtough the lens of pop music. the videos are silly but the spirit of pop shine through no matter how much of a jackass phil collins tries to be.

i love this album. i know that exile in guyville is a better record. i could give you a long list of reasons why it is a better album, but i have listened to wcse 100 times more. it is the mix of melody, lyrics and vision. liz had a child and was in general dealing with getting older. i may not not have a child or be a woman, but i could relate. i was 24 at the time and starting my first job in a new city.. i could relate, at least a little, to what she was saying. i hope history is kinder to this album then the critics were. it deserves a second chance.

Hair High (the graphic novel)

Bill Plympton is known as known for his surreal illustrations and textured style and this adaption of his feature film Hair High is no exception. what could be a cliche ghost story is turned into a mindbending look at high school. one we all can relate to... plympton's exaggerated drawings take simple high school issues and makes them look how they all felt when we were that young, huge and distorted and horrible. Once again graphic literature hits us in the heart by being direct and honest. - becky hunt
