MUSIC VIDEOS (in ALL caps)

There was a time where we had a channel on the boob tube that played nothing but music videos. Sadly this station is now overrun with reality shows and the like. This is our quest to return to the times where we got money for nothing and chicks were practically free.

Dirty White Coats


The Flying Change is the songwriting and performance vehicle for New York-based songwriter and technologist (ed. note: not really, but it sounds futuristic does it not?) Sam Jacobs. Sam used to write and record under the name Lipstik but people found the name distracting and he didn’t care enough not to change it. As Lipstik, Jacobs released one full length titled ‘Everything Is Good’ in 2006, one EP titled ‘There Is Only One Thing’ in Winter 2008 and numerous demos, covers, and experiments through his monthly email list (which remains, thankfully, intact).

On the video:

Let’s say you finally fall asleep. Well, it won’t last. Because the nurses need to check your vitals every so often and that wakes you up and then as the sun is rising the doctors start making their rounds. Here is how doctors are: they are well schooled. They exude smug self-satisfaction. They don’t really listen because most of the time it’s nothing even when it might not be and you’re probably being too dramatic and whiny about it and they went to school for a long time so why should they know your case file, why should they be briefed on what’s ailing you, they should just look at the file and then you can have this weird disjointed conversation with a new doctor every morning and every f-ing time you can tell them the same story and the good thing is that they’re completely inconsistent and won’t really know nor, truthfully, seem to care about what’s ailing you and perhaps they’ll contradict themselves and regardless, I shit you not, it really does not feel like they’re listening. There’s this dazed dreamy look in their eyes as they hold their clipboards. And the whole time you’re thinking, “This doesn’t make sense. They don’t seem like they actually care about whether you’re feeling better or getting better.” And nothing happens on time and there’s this weird compulsion to silence and submission to authority but this authority in question is the combination of passive uncaring doctors and passive uncaring insurance companies and agitated irritated nurses. And they have to keep taking blood but maybe you have smallish veins and so that means that, after a few days of being in the hospital and maybe you already have a line in but they need to draw blood from somewhere else they keep sticking you with a needle and sticking you and sticking you and looking for a vein and maybe this was just at that very moment when you might fall asleep and they’re sticking you and they’re sticking you and they’re sticking you and all it does is cause more pain and you’re wondering, “When. When will I feel better?”

Video/MP3 Posting Policy

1. I will gladly take any mp3/video down that any artist or anyone associated with them asks me to take down. Send an email to: inallcaps at gmail.com

2. If the mp3/video has been posted elsewhere, I will just link to it. No need to post it twice.

3. I believe that I am introducing my readers to music that they'll like and the result will be more music sales. If I felt otherwise, I wouldn't be doing it. I buy music and I think you should too.

To sum it up: If you are an artist or scary lawyer type and want something removed from here, just email us and it's gone! We're easy like that!
