PAPER RAD - TRASH TALKIN DVD (LOAD 095)

THE PITCH PERFECT AESTHETIC OF THE POST-90S INTERNET FREE-FOR-ALL ABYSS WAS NOT INVENTED WHOLESALE BY TIM AND ERIC BUT WAS SOMETHING THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN SHARED BY A LOT OF PEOPLE IN A UNIQUELY AMERICAN CONTEXT (YOU SORT OF GET JAPANESE ITERATIONS OF THIS I SUPPOSE BUT THE LO-FI CRITIQUE IS VERY MUCH AMERICAN ART-PUNK). PAPER RAD SEEM LIKE THE SECOND WAVE OF PROVIDENCE PEOPLE, DAYGLO AND WEIRD, BUT LESS OF THE ATONAL AND PROVOCATIVE.

TRASH TALKING IS A 'FILM' COMPENDIUM OF VARIOUS ANIMATION AND MUSICAL EXCURSIONS TAKEN BY THE PAPER RAD COLLECTIVE, ALL OF WHICH SEEMING BOTH PARODIC AND ORIGINAL IN ONE FELL SWOOP. LIKE THE BARKLEY'S DVD IT FEATURES SOME TERRIBLE VOICE ACTING BUT IN THE BITS WHERE IMAGE AND MUSIC CONNECT IT FEELS LIKE PERFECT SYNCHRONICITY. THESE GUYS AND GIRLS HAVE TALENT AND YOU CAN SEE WHY THEY'D END UP MAKING PROPER MUSIC VIDEOS FOR LESSER TALENTS THAN THE ONES FEATURED ON THIS BLOG.

I MEAN FUCK IT, ENOUGH OF MY YAKKIN, IT'S ALL THERE FOR YOU. HAVE A LOOK AT IT.
