you see, they're in this box....

Yesterday we discovered at work that a couple of sites that were previously blocked are now coming through clearly. The big revelation this morning is that YouTube works now. It's not as if i really can watch YouTube all day when i have work to do, but i'm a bit giddy. YouTube doesn't work so well at home obviously.

Thanks to video, i think that i finally get Battles though. It's sad that i need visual supplementary to sell me on the band, but i'm getting something conceptually that i wasn't convinced of no matter how hard i listened, no matter how many reviews i read.



It doesn't look as mechanical as i felt it to be. It looks genuinely as fun as it's supposed to be (bouncy rhythm and singing machine-elves,) while remaining hermetically sealed.

Thank you, video medium. I apologize that i'm so intellectually stunted. Please know that while i'm of the age that i should be well acquainted with music videos, because i lived so far out that cable was not available, i never learned to take them for granted.
