PJ just suggested that I listen to Chester’s French‘s “She Loves Everybody,” since he thought I’d like it:
I love it! And I love that he knows me so well! And I think this video is amazing. It has everything one could want in a video: cute boys and a kick-ass woman beating them to a pulp (in a humorous, feminist critique of the way in which women are often little more than eye candy in music videos — just in the way the persona singing the song treats the woman he sings about — it’s a great contrast between image and words)!
Chester French’s new album, Love the Future, came out today. After watching the video, I immediately bought it on iTunes. So far, I’m about a third of the way through the album and I like it a lot so far. According to wikipedia, they’re influenced by “classic British Northern Soul,” so no wonder I like them!
Thank you! I have a new album to go look for now.
I recently discover this blog and enjoying it immensely.
Welcome to thisgaudygildedstage. Thanks for reading and commenting! Let me know what you think of the album when you hear it.
I love this video! I’m a sucker for any songs featuring hand-claps, and the ass-kicking girl is a bonus as well.
