watch out, or the fbi will be comming for you--
vloging still seems a little hit or miss for me. i'm sure it is a skill that is acquired with time, but sifting through all the junkvlogs is quite a task... watching people fall off cliffs on their snowboards is perhaps interesting for a moment, but not quite engaging enough for academic conversation. however i did encounter a very interesting piece of media at immortal-technique.com. it seems mos and talib are not quite satisfied with the current regime in this country, and their vlog sure put it all out there. lyrical lines that pointed direct fingers were splashed against a montage of images which suggest that bush is holding hands with bin laden and slanging crack to the projects. the photos and the impact of the rhymes were powerful (if you can dig that sort of thing), but what makes this video blog of interest for discussion is its use of false images. in this day and age you can make anything happen with a digital image. someone can right hook the president. while this might add to the impression made by a subversive blog, it could also mislead those who do not second guess... especially because these images are not always as obvious as bush selling dope to babykids.
thus remember: a vlog is just the mindseye of the vlogger. trust that, and make your own understanding.
