If you follow my posts, you will know that I am a big fan of weird music videos that take you away to a place you have never been before and this is certainly the video that does just that. Land of Talk is a Canadian indie rock band from Montreal, Quebec. The video is for their single “It’s ok” [ Continue Reading ]

Nothing has ever been as (unintentionally) funny as “FIFTEEN”, a teenage soap opera that was one of the first shows on Nickelodeon. [ Continue Reading ]
