Music Video Clip


On the music video channel i saw a clip for a band called 'power drive'. they were doing their song 'the future is cool' and i thought that it didn't make much sense. so i waited for it to come on again and i taped it so i could analyze it more. it seems to me that 'power drive' are really into some bizarre semaphore things. i haven't quite decoded the clip but a lot of the signs that they make i can't find in the semaphore guide book and i think that maybe they have almost invented a new and better language. in the chorus all the people in the band are standing on a construction site on a huge scaffold and there are cars that are on fire and i was thinking i hope nobody gets hurt or burnt. so far today i have watched 'the future is cool' 15 times and it seems that one of the people in the band is the leader because he is easily the tallest and he gets a lot more camera time than anybody else. i think i want to get a hair cut like him, all slicked back and smooth. he looks quite strong and he probably used to work on the construction site. here are some words i could make out from the bizarre semaphore dance/signal. 'finance', 'comb', 'quickly', 'duck', 'snoopy', 'plinth'. i will keep watching it to try to figure out what it means. the video has lots of explosions in it and the music is very fast.
