THE SO SO GLOS // MY BLOCK // GREEN OWL


These dudes from Brooklyn put the punk back in rock. Check out the rather brilliant video for 'My Block' by new talent, Matt Greeley. A cheeky homage to the 'one take' technique exquisitely executed by the master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock in 'Rope' and a staple trademark of fellow long shot advocates like Antonioni, DePalma, Haneke, Jia Zhangke et al.

The only other 'one shot' music video that comes to mind is Coldplay's, 'Yellow' and that made me wanna puke. This just makes me wanna rock out...
