They've started showing MTV Europe in the evenings now, so my Pop Culture Maven credentials are on a firmer footing than they have been lately. The video for Outkast's Hey ya finally got over this way, and it's great! This is the first Outkast I've heard, but I liked the sound. Is the rest of the rest of the music anything like Hey ya?
Also, someone re-mixed Nina Simone's Sinnerman and put it to video. Normally this would offend my purist sensibilities, but the mix is subtle and doesn't interfere with her voice. That woman could sing.
Lastly, I have to add a third group to my list of non-auditorially-offensive French bands. Mickey 3D has a cool, minimalist sound, and no synthesized accordians. Their Reprise video, a piece of Eco-propaganda, was done artfully enough to make even me consider recycling. Check out a clip at their site.
