Yello, Lowdown readers. It’s me, Mary Frickin’ Z, your newest contributor on the Lowdown. You might know me from my other blog on this site, Triple Entendre. I decided to cheat on Triple Entendre with the Lowdown once it became apparent that the Lowdown was quickly descending into transcriptions of things Sarah and Charlie argue about before bed. That’s right, I went there.
I think it’s important that we all talk about the upcoming election, its nominees, and the huge obligation we all have to vote (for Obama (subliminal message!)). However, it is far more important for us to talk about this.
Ben Folds and Regina Spektor, my two all-time favorite artists, coming together for the good of humanity with the duet “You Don’t Know Me.” With a really jacked-up music video, directed by and starring, Tim and Eric from Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job.
At first I was really disappointed in the track. Seriously, was this all Ben and Regina could come up with? After a few more listens, however, I’ve really warmed up to the song. When you take into account Ben Folds’ recent divorce from his 3rd wife (or was it his 4th wife? So hard to keep track these days…), the song becomes a heart-wrenching tale of a couple’s realization that their relationship is dead, and there is no turning back from this epiphany.
But seriously, what the hell is up with this video?!
