Cobra Starship gets a free pass
I figured Cobra Starship was just going to be a flash in the pan. But, they're back with a new single off their upcoming fourth (really???) album Night Shades.
I hate to say it, but "You Make Me Feel..." is acutally pretty catchy. And it features up-and-comer Sabi, who you might have been exposed to on Britney's latest album.
The video follows a bunch of people at a club which has some kind of empathic photo booth that snaps you pics and stamps on it what you're feeling. Weird.
What's even weirder is that Robin Williams is randomly in the vdieo for less than 2 seconds. Did he just stumble onto the wrong set?
But, this video gets a free pass from me. I was about to dismiss it when it showed the requisite shot of two girls kissing. But, then, one of the snapshots shows two guys kissing, with the caption "Feeling... Loved".
It's a split second shot, but it's one that I think makes a big statement in pop culture. It takes the so-called taboo of two men kissing, puts it in a postive light with that caption and makes it a non-issue because it isn't dwelled upon or sensationalized. It just is.
So, free pass for this video.
