Anybody remember a clip show about banned music videos that, incidentally, ended up on one of the networks that banned them? It was either VH1 or MTV2, and they ran stuff like Nine Inch Nails’s “Closer,” Pearl Jam’s “Jeremy,” and Prodigy’s “Smack My Bitch Up.” Anyway, I was glued to the TV whenever it came on and I think a lot of my aesthetic sensibilities came from that 90s-00s golden age, making me into (regrettably) a bit of a music video snob. No offense, but the VFX-driven spectacles of today just don’t hit when you cut your teeth on stuff from CANADA and the Directors Bureau (whose website sadly doesn’t even have their best stuff anymore). The unique exception is director Cody Critcheloe, who goes by SSION (pronounced like the latter half of *passion*), and his new video for Yves Tumor is nothing less than what I’ve come to expect from the multihyphenate: a hyperreal vision of Los Angeles replete with larger-than-life characters who are characteristically drawn up from real life, and handmade props that belong in a museum, but I’ll settle for a gallery. (In this case, it’s a smashed-up hand-painted sunburst convertible and a leather jacket with a The Cochran Firm logo.) It’s the stuff dreams are made of, cementing Critcheloe as one of the most exciting and visionary directors of our time (other notable mentions include Eugene Kotlyarenko, Anne Alexander, and Minister Akins).

I’ve been forced to watch actual TV recently and I forgot how much I hate commercials. so mind numbing and condescending and just stupid. its not just tv, ads are inescapable and woven into every aspect of our lives and it’s exhausting. why am I CONSTANTLY being convinced that I need something and to give my money to corporations. I’m starting to develop the belief that most advertising as it stands today is morally wrong. it’s pure manipulation often through means we can’t even understand. commercials have become so abstract that most ads aren’t even directly selling you products or services anymore, they’re selling you a vibe or an idea or an association with a brand to subconsciously change your perceptions of every day ideas. Decades of advertising has fundamentally changed our culture in so many ways, and defintely done damage to our collective psyche and contributed to this feeling permeating our society that we can never have enough. big salute to @tyler and pi.fyi for keeping this space ad free. Basically this was a really long way of saying every time I have to watch a commercial I want to light my tv on fire. curious how y’all feel about this
