I forgot to mention...this is a very memorable song/video that Mike Hadreas made. So sweetly sad, unexpected, and amusing, all at the same time! He looks so fragile in the arms of pornographic actor Arpad Miklos.
I liked the video enough to look up the song on Wikipedia and learned that "the promotional video for Hadreas' second album, featuring Hadreas and pornographic actor Arpad Miklos embracing each other wearing only underwear, was deemed unsafe for family viewing by YouTube." Unsafe for family viewing?? I felt the video was wonderful! I like how it stretches the boundaries (beyond "traditional" expectations) of where and how humans hope to find comfort. I listened to more songs by Mike Hadreas, such as the one below. A negative is that they often sound very similar, I feel. A positive is that their simplicity makes them sound meaningful (even if I'm not always sure of the meaning). Perfume Genius - "Learning" (Live) Perfume Genius - Learning (Live) - YouTube

Wilco - "Dawned On Me"
I didn't expect to like this warm pop song but I do because I'm a sucker for rhyming and peppy beats with weird sounds popping up on occasion (especially screechy guitars). The meaning is one I like, too: Wilco - Dawned On Me - YouTube EDIT: And now I'm listening to Wilco's "I Might." ![]() I enjoyed this one, too, with its retro-punkish vibe and low, growly guitar and distorted guitar: ^ Gosh, I actually liked that one quite a bit, and I have no idea what he was singing about because I was just having fun listening to the music.
