N.E.R.D. 'Spaz'

I really enjoyed the BBC Live Lounge performance that N.E.R.D. did recently, even though you had to see the clip of it to fully realize that it was indeed a live performance. Their live version of 'Everybody nose' (All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom) was so slick it just didn't seem 'live' at all. But it just shows what perfectionist these guys are.

Pharrell Williams, of course, will now go into history for being the man who made Madonna cry, as he was producing tracks for her for her 'Hard Candy' album. Apparently she didn't understand what he was trying to make her do rhythmically on a track and when he told her off again for doing it wrong, she burst out crying. But, as I told you in an earlier blog posting, I am sure that most her producers have seen her cry at some point or another as she is rather hysterical. I already told you that I saw her throw a wobbler to William Orbitz before.

Anyway, of their 'Seeing sounds' album, here is the vid for 'Spaz'.

Pharrell pushes fan

At a recent N.E.R.D. gig a fan was pushed off stage by Pharrell Williams. The guy now wants to sue Pharrell for this. What a load of nonsense. Don't crash the stage then mate. If you want to climb on then expect to dive off, be pulled off or get pushed off again. Simple as that. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.




Anyway, this is nothing. Years ago I saw Courtney Love punch a fan in the face at a London gig. She had just done a stage dive and when she got back on stage she thought that her necklace was missing. She then picked someone from the audience who she decided was to blame, threw herself back off the stage again and walloped him one right on the cheek. Very unladylike and therefore very 'Courtney Love'. After security pulled her back on to the stage, she noticed that the necklace had simply slipped under her dress.

She giggled and said: 'Oops! Sorry I punched you in the face. I'm an a...hole!'

And that was that. No lawsuit. No hard feelings. Just two people playing their small part in rock history.

How's this for a wake-up call?

Want to get some goosebumps? Then watch this, it's bloody brilliant! If it doesn't make you sad, mad and/or inspired to take some kind of action, I don't know what could. It makes me want to cry out to the world:

"WHAT ARE WE DOING TO OURSELVES?????? THIS IS INSANITY!!!! LET'S STOP THIS MADNESS!!!"

It's the track 'Eyewater' by Cassius and Pharrell with a video directed by Kincaid.

Please, share this video with everyone!!!!!
