Amid all the detritus and nonsense on YouTube, one can occasionally find a gem of artistic presentation....an interesting reinvention of an existing (familiar or not) song or film. This week's installment takes one of my favorite Pixies songs (1989's Wave of Mutilation) and sets it against scenes from Jean-Luc Godard's Pierrot le fou (Pierrot Goes Wild) from 1965. The song and the film share common themes of alienation and a desire to escape from convention...another clever touch was recognizing that the film's heroine is name-checked in the song. Cheers to the creator of this video:
