[desrtangl]

unfortunately. you ain't missing anything.

[Richard B]

It is dreamy imagery, I liked it, linear as it is though.

The girl is very cute in that European way.

Love the end scene where she's spinning around in her dream state right before they cut to her in her bed.

[SapphireSister]

I can't see it from my comp at work. Is there anything Stevie related in it?

[Boots]

I can't see a gosh darn thing.

[strandinthewind]

that pooooorrr coffe mug :laugh:

[Richard B]

that pooooorrr coffe mug :laugh:
hahaha.

Her poor hair...just going everywhere.

When she is laying in the snow...it sure looked like real snow. That must have been a bitch to shoot. Poor thing.

No, but part of it reminds me of the video for "Don't Come Around Here No More".

[David]

This dance music, or club music, or whatever you call it, doesn't have any subtext: it's all surface beat, grinding, pulsating, in-your-face sexuality. It's really anomalistic to link this style with Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams," which is about subtext, stealth, disingenuousness, holding back & raising your eyebrow inquisitively: it's about mystery.

There's no mystery of this sort in club/grind music: it's just oonga-boonga drums & lurid pornographic impulses in a crowded nightclub in the tropics, a constant assault on the ears & the chest: thumping, thumping, bumping, grinding, like an eggbeater.

Stuff like this has its uses, I guess, like in the aerobics class at the gym; but it attracts a tasteless contingent that is unavoidably labeled as such, some of whom seem to use it as the soundtrack to their lives.

[Richard B]

I thought the same thing.

[JazmenFlowers]

This dance music, or club music, or whatever you call it, doesn't have any subtext:
I love club music. I really do. I see what you're saying and there are for sure many dance songs/artists that would fall into your description, but there are some that I don't think do. The soundtrack of my life includes as many dance songs as Stevie songs. There are often times when a dance song brings just as much emotion in me as a Stevie song.

artists like iio, Goldfrapp, Kristine W., Black Fras, ATB, Armin Van Buren and others are as much artists as anyone else. Granted Pepper Mashay, Amber (tho I still love her) and others are exactly what you're describing.

Don't forget one of my favs:
Basement Jaxx

They move it. I also like Roysköp when their not being miserably depressing.

I also love Deepest Blue, but talk about slit your wrist depressing...sheesh.

[Livia]

I like it!!! :D

Oh, and hi, Trav! :wavey:

[BlackWidow]

:thumbsup: WHAT THE ****?

horrid.
TOTALLY HORRID! I bought my tickets online for NOTS!

[ryan8472]

That video hurt my everything. They should've made a video with Stevie in it. :nod:

amen. I totally agree. yet again, good exposure and great opportunity, totally f*cked.:rolleyes:

Even a cameo would've made that mess a little nicer. :shrug:

da. da. precisely my dear.

[DavidMn]

Not good at all.

[ryan8472]

da. da. precisely my dear.
Point in case: Bootylicious. Stevie with a guitar can make even the stupidest of music videos watchable. :nod:

[DavidMn]

amen. I totally agree. yet again, good exposure and great opportunity, totally f*cked.:rolleyes:Excuse me, what's wrong with being totally fu**ed? Oops, wrong subject....:shocked: :rolleyes: :lol:

[MacMan]

I kind of like it.. .It would have been slightly, okay ALOT better had they referenced SN in it somehow.. Even some obscure visual of her performing in the club she was dancing in or something. Just a little something. When the girl was running in the white robe thing she had on - it kind of reminded me of the ending of I Can't Wait...

[ryan8472]

Excuse me, what's wrong with being totally fu**ed? Oops, wrong subject....:shocked: :rolleyes: :lol:
Must you prevert EVERYTHING?! :shocked: :lol:

I just have to say that the third video you have in your sig (with the whole band) in my favorite EVER. EVER! What is it from?

[DavidMn]

I just have to say that the third video you have in your sig (with the whole band) in my favorite EVER. EVER! What is it from?That is from the Tusk photo shoot I believe.

[ryan8472]

Well, I''ll just have to wait till Derek "Gets off" work later I guess.:rolleyes:
How punny! :lol: You sure get more than I do. :eek: :laugh:

ANYWAYS. Back to the talk of the awful, awful, awful Dreams video, kids. :nod:

:laugh:

[DavidMn]

:laugh:Yes. It was pretty bad dont you think?

[ryan8472]

Yes. It was pretty bad dont you think?
I've heard worse, but dont push it. :laugh:

[ontheEdgeof17]

Well, I''ll just have to wait till Derek "Gets off" work later I guess.:rolleyes:

Seriously, I vomited in my mouth over this. Disgusting.

[DavidMn]

Seriously, I vomited in my mouth over this. Disgusting.Oh get over yourself.:rolleyes: I was just having fun with Ryan. Besides, frankly I couldnt care less what you think anyway.

[Richard B]

I think it's filled to the rim with Stevie Nicks imagery without having to have Stevie Nicks in the damn video. Everyone knows already. Deep Dish is not trying to appeal to Stevie Nicks fans. They have plenty of their own following.

[ryan8472]

Oh get over yourself.:rolleyes: I was just having fun with Ryan. Besides, frankly I couldnt care less what you think anyway.
Like I said. ANYWAYS.......:rolleyes:

[Richard B]

Seriously, I vomited in my mouth over this. Disgusting.
Yeah...just like ketchup on eggs.

[DavidMn]

Like I said. ANYWAYS.......:rolleyes:Yeah youre right. I'vve just had it with his snide comments towards me.

[ryan8472]

Yeah...just like ketchup on eggs.
I like a little ketchup (Or catsup. Call it what you will) on eggs. Sometimes.

[ryan8472]

Yeah youre right. I'vve just had it with his snide comments towards me.
I really wouldnt worry about it, David. :rolleyes: :laugh:

[Richard B]

I like a little ketchup (Or catsup. Call it what you will) on eggs. Sometimes.
I think ketchup is the most gross condiment ever created. Is it ever nasty...and on eggs no less! Puke.

[DavidMn]

I really wouldnt worry about it, David. :rolleyes: :laugh:I'm not going to. You know I dont get upset too often. Seriously though, I'm sorry if what I said was over the line.

[ryan8472]

I'm not going to. You know I dont get upset too often. Seriously though, I'm sorry if what I said was over the line.
I certainly didnt care. :shrug:

WHATEVER, people! Back to the topic! Geez! :eek:

[SandyMac]

Okay, I still can't see the video. I guess they are having bandwidth problems or something.

I kind of want to see it.. kind of like watching a train wreck I guess. :shrug:

[JazmenFlowers]

Richard B does have a good point...it does have a lot of Stevie elements. I still want a little La Nicks in there. The only thing I'd say to the fact of them not trying to appeal to Stevie's fans is that they don't just sample her vocal...it's basically the entire song. I could understand if it was sampled, but it's a re-working of the whole song...Stevie should have been part of the video.

[Travis]

isn't it tho! the artwork is still simply fabulous.

yeah buddy. I'll be onstage around 11.

Hey Jason!

I replied to this earlier, don't know why it didn't post, anyway, are you performing? Details please. I have yet to attend a NOTS event but I think I'll be there this year. Really looking forward to it.

Travis :cool:

Travis :cool:
yeah. if you scroll down to the NOTS 16 thread (near the end of the page I think) it's go lots of details. I go on between 11 and 12 I think. I'm really excited. I am really busy rehearsing and getting outfits together and all that stuff. Let me know if there's something you need...I don't know if I answered your question...

[Travis]

I like it!!! :D

Oh, and hi, Trav! :wavey:

Hi Livia! :wavey:

You like the video you mean? I only had a chance to skim thru it once, I liked what I saw. I bet Stevie would approve.

Travis

She is part of the video, silly. It's her voice (excpet the high notes).

I don't think Stevie should have physically been in the video. It doesn't work. Deep Dish is not doing a homage to Stevie. They just like the song and wanted to do it their way.

well, by "part of" I meant in the video somehow.

I understand your point and it could be argued either way. It is what it is.

[golddustorm]

I'm not a fan of this video. The very beginning - where he dumps her in the snow and pushes her hair into her face - it turns me off.

But...the black and white checkered tiled floor sure did remind me of the floor on the cover of TOSOTM! Coincidence??? ;)

On edit: See Jason's footer for perfect example of said cover and floor. ;)

[ShangriLaTroubl]

I also thought the video was dreadful for the song. I would've expected, even without a Stevie appearance, that it would have been a softer toned video, maybe a sensual and sexy vibe or something. I think, unlike some of you, that it actually started out kind of cool. I liked the girl in the beginning, then it just got really odd, and the video did not flow with the song at all..

But that's the point. It is a dream.
Like I said earlier, it's linear. Very straight forward.

Respect. I understand where you're coming from.

[krrrby]

OMG whoever just mentioned Goldfrapp...someone just intro'd me to them and I have bought almost every song on itunes...I just LOVE their work, it's really original and not something you really hear everyday...all my friends love it...almost like deep dish in a way

I'm hoping (and thinking) it was me. They are totally cool. Horse Tears is my favorite song of theirs.

[DownOnRodeo]

I was like you, David, but these days I can't resist the likes of BT .. check out his Sarah McLachlan remixes.

BT rocks. he is one talented man. he did the score for Monster too.

[Travis]

simply being loved loved loved, simply being loved loved loved, simply being loved loved loved, it's more than enough yea yea

[THINKABOUTIT]

I still can't see the dreams remix video!!! :( HELP!!!!! LOL

[Serrart]

What's wrong with the video? I like it, it's an homage to the 80's and Alice in Wonderland. I can't remember which was, but there was even a video in which Alice became a cake and was eaten... I guess that scene is a tribute to it.

I actually have IMA by BT, the two-CD set. It's fascinating. I bought it for "Blue Skies" but wound up liking more of it.

[elie]

I haven't seen the video, but I am writing because I heard the song yesterday for the first time, and honestly, I didn't expect that to happen (not being so much into dance music and all), but I loved it!

I didn't get where the vocals were from, though. Was it especially recorded for that version?:confused:

[Travis]

From Daniel's site:

Released with Nicks' blessing, Dreams quickly became an airplay smash at dance radio last December, reaching Top 5 in the US and Europe. Inspired by the new arrangment, Nicks contributed new vocals and used the reconstructed Dreams to introduce her recent Gold Dust Tour concerts.

The video you are referring to is "Don't Come Around Here No More" by Tom Petty. I don't think this video was an homage to that, I think it was more a homage to "Alices Adventures in Wonderland" which was the inspiration for the Tom Petty video. Plus, there were hints of the second Alice book "Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There", which was also the inspiration for Stevie's "The Other Side of the Mirror". If you want a Stevie connection, I would say this is pretty much it.

The idea of this Deep Dish video is that it is supposed to be a dream inspired from the Alice books. If you have ever read the books then you would recognise the imagery. If you haven't read them, I highly recommend the annotated version, which has both books and explains a lot of the differences in language and society that has changed since the books were first written.

Dreams often don't make sense so the video wasn't supposed to have a story, per se. You see a girl, Alice (one would guess), being carried around by a man I assume to be the White Knight, running through a sort of Wonderland, being part of the main course at the Mad Tea Party, sitting with the White Queen (as is evident from all the breaking chess pieces) and at the end, since so much of the video is backwards, she falls up the rabbit hole until you see her in bed... dreaming.

I think the idea is that if you played the video backwards (and since the video is backwards you would be therefore watching it forwards) you would see Alice fall asleep and begin to dream. In the dream she falls down the rabit hole, runs through the great hall into a disco where she meets the White Queen, dances for a while, goes to a Mad Tea Party, stumbles out the door drunk and falls into the snow where the White Knight rescues her and carries her off.

I finally saw this video and I love it. Your description is right on the money. The first time I watched it, I got the dreams reference right away that she was dreaming. The second time I watched it, I totally got the Alice in Wonderland feel (more than just the tea party).

Yes, it would have been great to have Stevie in the video (like in the club as mentioned earlier), but I still like the video. It is very Stevie-esque and artsy. I am sure that Stevie is getting more exposure because of this song and hopefully some new fans. :)

In the club dance scene, the woman did do a few (what I would call Stevie hand moves) that reminded me of the Gypsy video (black and white dance scene).

Another observation I noticed is that in this video, the film is going backwards, and in the Big Love video, the camera is moving/pulling backwards. (another FM tie in maybe)?
