Noise du Jour/Overheard in #ectomo: “Corporate Cannibal” By Grace Jones
Posted by Ross Rosenberg
Ross: Ok, why is Grace Jones so fucking creepy?
Qais: I think she and Seal are vampires.
Qais: Maybe aliens?
Ross: Grace Jones could be an alien,
Ross: or a robot constructed by aliens.
Qais: Dude Seal is totally an alien,
Qais: or a vampire.
Qais: I’m ok with either, really.
Ross: I hadn’t thought about Seal, to be honest.
Qais: Oooh!
Qais: Maybe they’re alien vampires!
Ross: …
Ross: Maybe.

Bridget Nielson wishes she was Grace Jones.

Just got around to watching this and was pretty blown away.
I kept waiting for a tiny Grace Jones head to spring pneumatically from the mouth of regular Grace Jones to partake in the chorus and somehow the vid is scarier without.

ok, i’ve always been a fan of grace, or at least since her first post-disco album, but this is one of the best videos i have ever seen.
she can crunch my bones between her teeth any time.

Oh my gosh! I love love love this. Reminds me (in sound) of another song I love, “I’m Afraid of Americans” by that other alien, David Bowie. I love the Giger-ness of this video.

Try watching it without sound. It’s genuinely terrifying. As if something from Grant Morrison’s imagination is broadcasting itself through the internets.
“We are the archons of Memnegrad twelve. We combine your soul. Push through the eighth gate! Push through the eighth gate!”
I’m afraid that Grace Jones is immanentizing the eschaton right fucking now.
