462. "Someday?" Concrete Blonde

"Someday?"
Concrete Blonde
Walking In London
1992

I'm not gonna ask you guys to watch the whole video up there, because as pretty as this song is, that video is an abomination. Just everything bad about early 90's "college music" videos going on, even granny glasses. But just play the first five seconds - remember when videos would put those little beeps at the beginning sometimes? What the hell were those things all about?
You know what video started that? I think it was Paula Adbul's "Cold Hearted". Before she had a second act drinking vodka out of a Coke glass on "American Idol", Paula Abdul was the future Mrs. Timmy. MTV had a "Win a Date With Paula Abdul" contest once, and I remember being super pissed that the contest was not open to residents of Mississippi and Rhode Island. I mean, fuck Mississippi, they can all win a date with their cousins whenever, but I was an awkward 13 year old boy and this contest was my chance for lady action! (They probably had something about not letting a 13 year old win either, come to think of it.)
Anyway this is the video (directed by my boy David Fincher!) that made me a man in the summer of 1989. Note the little beeps.
