And Everything Nice
☺Sugar and Spice! This is an awesome behind-the-scenes photo of the Spice Girls on the set of their music video "Say You'll Be There". Also, how awesome is the harmonica solo in the middle of this song? I'm not even kidding... To just, like, totally nerd out on the 90's right now - lazy harmonica seemed to be everywhere - and it expecially reminds me of the soundtrack of one of my favorite video games of all time: The Legend of Dragoon (1999).

Also? There's this little beauty. I've always loved this picture. What is the deal? While searching for this photo's back-story, I ran across this lovingly (creepily?) compiled and fascinatingly thorough Female Celebrity Smoking List. I do love a great archive. Especially a totally weird one.
Who is your favorite Spice Girl?

Little Trouble Girl
Director Mark Romanek's video for Sonic Youth's "Little Trouble Girl" is so beautiful. The combination of 90's colors and 70's Los Angeles topped by the feeling that you're watching the entire thing with your face pressed up to a surveillance TV screen is so perfect. Kim Gordon and Kim Deal (The Pixies, The Breeders) are such languorous beauties! Their voices and stares remind me so much of the listless teenage musings of the Shangri-Las (1, 2, 3).
Once, right around the time that we started playing Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, my brother and I spent an afternoon aimlessly searching a large abandoned cooperate office building for ammunition, red and green herbs, and infected zombies. Groping around the doorways of windowless offices searching for a light switch was just about the creepiest thing ever... but sometimes, a few bars of eerie wavering fluorescent light would flicker on and my desolation would blossom into the weirdest most indescribable feeling of awe.
As I walked around kicking white ceiling tiles and tripping on tangled telephone wires, I thought about how impractical Jill Valentine's outfit was and wondered what the office was like when people still worked there.
