Plan B for Plan Jeremy B
Most readers of this blog may recall that I had inflamed as a Cube Zip in 2007 for the album Plan B, a British rapper who seemed to have reached musically (if not necessarily in the lyrics any more) a kind of perfect balance between vocals and musical accompaniment, mostly acoustic.
Anyway, as often when I inflames (Lupen Crook, for example), the world takes a perverse pleasure in raining on it (why? Why? Is it Because I Lied When I was 17?) so the disc did not work. Bah! My good guy Ben Drew has more than one string to his bow, and he returns this year with a disc which adds to his usual rap that sounds like a piece furiously retro garage to the Hives ... and any different than any of his first album, I still find it amazing (my loyalty is unmatched in admiration). The song is listenable here or on his myspace page .

If the video quality is judged by the value it brings to the song, Jeremy of Pearl Jam is one of the best Clips of the last 20 years. Musically, the band leaves me indifferent and the song itself is not exceptional (although this is by far one of my favorite Pearl Jam and if the voice of Eddie Vedder is rather interesting) but the combination of words, images and real news story on which the whole is based in fact an exemplary witness of its time (1992) and what was then the MTV culture, and protest rather iconoclastic and far from the glorification of consumerism and conformism of reality shows who are now bottom of the chain of commerce (Paris Hilton and others).
To be honest, this is an hour that I hum "Jeremy spoke in "correcting my exam papers and asking me if I become more severe or more lenient in my quote.
Finally, I realize now reviewing those images that I had in time misunderstood the end of the clip which, in its ascent to MTV, suggesting that Jeremy had gun in all directions, "the Columbine" when in fact, he shoots himself in the head, which goes to I think the video even more 'high'.
No, really, it's great art.
(this post is brought to you by listening to my Ten album, bought on sale five years ago though, but listened for the first When there are few)
