A brilliant analysis of eminem's MOSH video - link

[Bongo Prophet]

On Daily Kos, this very good analysis of the Eminem "Mosh" video. This could be helpful to those who either don't get the cultural references or just turn off on "rap" style. Also, it is a very layered work, with so much going by quickly that it helps to have a media savvy person's take on it. Check it out!

1. that song was very powerful

[Bongo Prophet]

3. Agreed about the song. But MUCH more so, the video.

This animation reinforces the song and much, MUCH more.
The good folks at GNN deserve the cred. And this analysis will help you get even more layers of goodness from it. That's why I posted this, with link. Check it out if you haven't...

8. Absolutely brilliant

"Look in his eyes, it's all lies, the stars and stripes
They've been swiped, washed out and wiped,
And Replaced with his own face, mosh now or die"

Impossible to ignore.

I was already moved by the video, with only a surface understanding, but DAMN

10. Anybody know how to get a file to burn to CD

so we can drive around playing it?

[Bongo Prophet]

11. I can't remember where I got the DL.

Search around. I found a link to DL'able quicktime. From a link on a thread on DU.
It is also on gnutella p2p networks.

PM me if you cant find it.
For audio only (as you implyplaying in a car cd player, right?) you can just use an audio capture from the stream.
Total recorder on PC and Audio Hijaack on mac are good. Others available.

13. One aspect of the title i didn't see addressed...

After explaining about moshpits, I make this observation.

At concerts, the moshpit is where the activism happens. People are not just on the sidelines watching the show, but jump in and participate. A little dangerous perhaps, but where the action is.

I want to see Kerry stage dive into 1000s of people and float around!
