Been out of it for a while due to an outbreak of redecorating (fabulous result!!) and a major Winos XP freak-out!Damned computers!! I will catch up in due course, just going to take a wee while to re-orientate.

Been watching the amazing Hey Ya! video by Outkast/Andre 3000 : [link]

I remember hearing this in about 2003, and an ex-DJ mate explaining (at length! ) why it was one of the all-time best commercial hip-hop tracks. Never saw the video then, but came across it recently. The vid. was apparently inspired by the Beatles first TV appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show in the '60s. I love the way the vid. seems put together from visual "hook-lines", as well as the tune being entirely "hooks"!
The main man played all the characters in the band, vid filmed in two days, with the song being performed 23 times, filmed from different angles!!
Clever, whether you dig it or not.
