Despite its squishy, squeamy, corny nature, ‘Love’ is the one subject every musician writes about. It’s universal, even if the only thing you love is the next hit off your crack pipe, you love SOME-thing.
One thing I love is a night on the couch with my boyfriend, some beers, and RAGE, watching and commenting alternately on the amazing, ("Yay! The Flaming Lips!!") and truly awful ("Arrgh! ‘Red Red Wine’!!") videos.**ABC Music are making it easier than ever to get your rage on, on demand, by releasing a series of "best of" DVDs. RAGE IN LOVE features 30 videos on the popular topic. Everything from AIR’s classic ‘All I Need’ to The La’s unbeatable, ‘There She Goes’; from Mazzy Star’s breathy, ‘Fade Into You’ to Norah Jones’ ethereal ‘Come Away With Me’; from the aforementioned Lips’ ‘Do You Realize?’ to, uh… Dido (hey, they can’t all be winners).
It ends with Joy Division’s unfortunately fortuitous ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’. The message? Love sucks. Music videos rule.
