so, "Godless" by The Dandy Warhols is a great track, absolutely worth having in your collection.

it also has a great music video, absolutely worth having in your collection.

you'd think grabbing the video to add to your collection would be as easy as grabbing the song, and to a point you'd be correct.

but take a look at the quandary:

the music video for "Godless" is available on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LduipA_XUJ8

it's great! that's it!

but it's also on the internet archive here: https://archive.org/details/The_Dandy_Warhols_Godless_

it's great! that's it!

but they are very different in terms of color saturation. which one is "right"?

given two copies of a track, where one is pre-loudness-wars and one is post-loudness-wars, which should you archive?

(I'm leaning towards less color saturation and pre-loudness-wars being the ideal for each, but that's vibes and not archival science or anything)

anyway, regardless of which version you choose, it is absolutely the perfect song to dance by yourself in a sweatervest with a hula hoop. highly recommend.

@djsundog I'd never seen the video before. Alas I did not hoop to it. But perhaps because this is the first time I've heard the song before drinking coffee it struck me that the beginning sure sounds like the end of "Rain" by Tones on Tail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22V-MHQzqpU
