notes on the video for The Counting Crows’ “Long December”

- Don’t install a chalkboard wall because you saw it on Apartment Therapy if you’re just gonna end up doing that with it.

- This girl is wearing slacks. Slacks!

- This palette, ubiquitous in the late 90s, is my least favorite of all: washed out teal, pewter and black, hazy browns.

- I’d imagine that a hospital in winter smells better than a hospital in summer.

- That guy dated Mary Louise Parker how did that happen.

- Have we since disabused ourselves of the notion that black overcoats = deep feelings?

- “All a lot of oysters but no pearl” is the grossest, GROSSEST possible way of describing meaningless sex.

- That hat. That hat.

- Nothing as sadly romantic as this song suggests has ever happened to anyone wearing that much Ann Taylor.

- I just don’t get using New York colors in a video that’s ostensibly about Los Angeles in the winter. Tavi gets it, whoever directed this doesn’t.

- This video is so bad and everyone in it looks so old.

- I don’t believe that you really believe that this year will be better than the last.

- Or I didn’t, until you pointed at the floor like that.

- That’s an ugly snow globe.
