Look At All That Cash
Q Magazine have voted Johnny Cash's "Hurt" the bestest ever music video ever, ever, innit. And whilst this is a much braver pick than, say, "Sledgehammer" (number 21) or "Thriller" (number 2), it still reeks of Q Magazine; that desperate attempt to bring rockism up-to-date, into currency, into the now by voting last year's best most authentic piece of whatever as the best most authentic piece of whatever ever, like in 1998 when OK Computer was declared Best Album Ever after five months. Having received the Gondry (child-like genius playing with a paintset) and Cunningham (child-of-all-evil, but actual, real life, bona fide genius genius [yes, there's less on his disc but who the fuck cares?- what is there is absolutely magnificent) DVDs recently, I can't help but feel as if... oh, you know. Something. All angsty and disenfranchised. Or whatever.
