Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo knows how to get the ladies. No need to fire off ineffectual, yet dangerous Cupid's Arrows. No need to balance chainsaws on your face (yes, even more dangerous). All you have to do is be polite, respectful and attentive. Soon enough, you too could be sharing malteds with your sweetie, unless you remember the old "bro before ho" dictum and decide to kick her to the curb.
The annual CMA Awards — the Country music equivalent of the Grammy's — will air live tonight, Wednesday, November 11 at 8/7c on CBS. Video catergory? You betcha. Nominees as follows...<
MUSIC VIDEO OF THE YEAR
- Award goes to Artist and Director
Director Ethan Lader delivers yet another simple, yet striking video gem, this time for Perez Hilton's first artist signing, Sliimy. Over 2,000 stills from a videotaped performance were exported, f'ed with in Photoshop, printed out, cut out, and then placed in the hands of various Los Angelenos for the still photos that make up this video.
While I wouldn't go so far to say that director Gabriel Hart has entered the Van Gogh in Arles phase of his career — I'll wait until he starts making videos of his postman, and cuts his ear off — but this video for Young Dro looks like it's been drenched in the lurid colors and bold paintstrokes reminiscent of the Dutch master (and/or a Final Cut/After Effects plug-in/effect). It makes for a surprisingly bright and artistic depiction of the Atlanta ghetto, although nothing is quite as surprising as the mid-song tribute to Black Sheep.
