Blonde Redhead ( Miranda July ) - " Top Ranking "

[lucidwebpress]

Has anyone told her that this sucks? Sometimes people don't know until you tell them.

[freenachos]

Funny. Probably a good workout too.

[lagginswag]

this is just awesoem.

[Hakuromatsu]

This is frippery, and I say this having seen better from both Mike Mills and his lovely wife.

[vanillavinefly]

Miranda is too beautiful. I am in love with her.

[pawlopascual]

As an asian, I can honestly and candidly say that caucasians have this gift of taking ordinary things and imbue it with so much beauty.

[xXBronzedBalletXx]

@pawlopascual That is such an arbitrary statement. You cannot speak for all Asians, nor sum up all Caucasians.

[pawlopascual]

@xXBronzedBalletXx Generalizations are always arbitrary, but you don't agree that this vid is impressive? This is very beautiful, as all works of art.

[freedomland11]

she has a lil tight butt...or is it thought 1970's bell bottoms? idk

[cwallardo]

Cool. John Baldessari is pleased somewhere... "I am making art."

[believerster]

Mike Mills can and has done a lot better. It's only one dodgey video compared to lots of good ones though.

[TheSterbloemjolanda]

very good

[whales]

mike mills is cool...miranda july is pretty cool... blonde redhead is definitely cool...but this video is whack. sorry guys

[maxapotamus]

I think 2:13 is the best one. Im going to try it for myself. Yes it's a good one.

[locopantalones]

The song is titled Top Ranking

[MishKapeesh]

whats th sing called?

[iCanPeeFar]

Miranda July rocks! :O

[gigi46]

Yeah, I love her!

[jgrdonquixote]

I like how "the second" is actually used and you can catch her moving a little, blinking, etc. during those bits.

Fun video.

[TartarControlDuff23]

you're in love with miranda july

[Kazimierz1959]

everyone is in love with her, but not as much as me!

[johnclincoln]

Well I just found out where my girlfriend gets 'everything' from. I guess it's okay though because Miranda July is better than Pink, right?

[philphie]

sometimes she looks like Cate Blanchett, sometimes she doesn't.

that's pretty cool

[cornbruiser]

marketing with no discernible content.

[hexane8]

Miranda July is the famous person I would most like to have sex with. I wonder if she's into chicks.

[iiibbbooottt]

She is!

[lopside0]

Hey miranda? Yeah, the 1960s called... it wants the outfit back.

[PoisonPeachPit]

Hey.

Hey there.

Stop. We don't need that.

Stop that.

[maaskeimorgen]

@PoisonPeachPit Is there a meaning of this? would someone please expain it to me...

[D0ST03VSKY]

What a great combination of original talent :)

[taytaytaytay232]

Miranda July is awesome. no further comment.

[Mattyew]

0:22  lol, nast

[rishavkapur]

nice song :)

[arnoldwaits]

awesome! awesome!

[quillber]

miranda july most likely smells of a musty tablecloth

[romerog]

miranda july and blonde redhead go well together

[josepherr]

Miranda July is beautiful. Blonde Redhead is amazing.

[sexiemo3]

what the fuck

[MikeScott21]

I despised Mirana July's film ME, YOU, AND EVERYONE WE KNOW. It was so pretentious. But I love Blonde Redhead, and I'll admit I kind of dig her in this music video.

[ohaikitteh]

I agree with you so much.

[quillber]

right on, that film was super gross

[apples007]

I just have to know what you didn't like about the movie. I didn't find it pretentious.

[motleyhar]

Horrible. Why?

[themorningbell6]

this is stupid

[theguccitrashcan]

this makes me happy and want to create. art happened.

[rainey53]

i saw this video a long while ago before i ever knew who miranda july was. now i love love her and blonde redhead

[LogInAnders]

As a fan of BR I also saw it when it came out. I din't know who Miranda was back then either and got to admit that I really hated the video and her. It still doesnt get me excited but brilliant song, ow I think she is cooler and Me and you and Everyone we know is a brilliant movie!

[dinastein44]

A talent-free, overrated lady.

[RPS3000]

she is soooooo amazing

[willopi]

lOVE IT

[PaniqAnalogiq]

all this sadness makes me sad

[ElvisVances]

All this happiness makes me happy.

[101MwaveFRIKK]

Miranda

I literally cannot resist your ways.

>M

[PeoplePicturesCom]

I like it!

[PeoplePicturesCom]

She's a dag! (An Australian term of endearment.

[Elemerides]

3:33 are = 213 seconds at one pose per second = 213 poses! O_O hell, that's a LOT of posing

[ElvisVances]

MySpace has more.

[Pianissimeat]

Arch your back! Tooch yer booty! Concave chest!

and remember...

SMILE WITH YOUR EYES.

[rainey53]

hhahahaahhaha!

[shuckslbj]

I don't like indie-dance-pop bands like Blonde Redhead, but I love Miranda July.

[Pancakechef27]

Blonde Redhead is not indy-dance-pop. You must have not heard the six albums they put out before this one.

[demonscrowley]

I wouldn't group them with "indie dance pop" bands (I'd assume you're talking about the likes of Of Montreal, MGMT, Cut Copy and other such bullshit bands lame "indie" sites like Pitchfork like to push). I came here for Miranda July as well though. I particularly like her album "The Benet-Simon Test".

[321kenneth]

Miranda is beautiful.

[Clanmemberkalvin]

This just changed my perspective on life. Imagine how much time was spent laughing while they made this. And how many times she probably fell on her ass.

~awesome.

[zminemx]

back and forth forever

[Clanmemberkalvin]

or at least until it dissolves.

[mushymcsquishy]

Miranda forever!!

[MisterMysticFibrosis]

This July woman person never ceases to amaze me mystically with her immense mystical innovation.

OOH YEAH, SNAP INTO A SLIM JIM.

Beck is a most lucky man to be fucking her asshole each mystic night.

The Mystic Master Monk is indeed justifiably jealous.

[overhalfway]

Her wrists are so amazingly beautiful. I could watch her pose for hours. It's simple and charming and controlled and elegant and inspiring.

[kerosene30]

i have no idea how this is enjoyable.

and yeah i think its pretentious if you like it.

[astropath2]

I loved the way she dressed in animation class 1995.

White mad scientist hair. Doc Martins shoes and nurses

outfits. And a strange crown of thorns on her head.

I would study her in class. Every bit of her being. she was amazing then. Why would she wear the outfit in this video?

Yikes.

[utopiablood]

the hand part is my favorite

[supjack1114]

what song is that???

i need it any commentes please

[maribeel91]

how about reading the info?

"MUSIC

Title: Top Ranking

Artist: Blonde Redhead"

[betchtits]

sometimes....... sometimes I ride my bicycle into the sunset with a thousand other people.......people of my imagination..... imaginary people block the cars that try to get home into the sunset..... the sunset that unreluctantly distresses them........ them that can't stop to see imaginary people.... people who ride their bicycles into the sunset......sometimes

[supjack1114]

I went to McDonalds.

[aintnophilistine]

There is a certain look to a man who can't see very well, when he doesn't have his eye glasses on. He can't see very well, and his eye glasses are off, and there is a quietness about him, because he is sort of blind and needs to listen. Like a mole. Or like Coltrane when he stopped caring about being Miles Davis cool/ sexy, and instead got portly and warm sounding.

[tenmoku54]

just...can't...stop...listenin­g...

[icewater00]

In my imagination there is a town, and in the town there is an apartment building. I live there with my neighbors, and Miranda is one of them, and sometimes on weekends we get together on the patio for cocktails and snacks while the sun goes down.

[CreativeNetwork]

Can I live in your apartment building too? I'll bake you an artichoke dip. Once ingested it inspires lively, spirited conversation and spontaneous interpretive dance.

[icewater00]

You are totally invited.

[deltalily]

love her short stories, and "you and me..." Not sure about this video, though.

oh, note to people who comment on the video by saying she's obviously self-centered : she didn't direct this clip, she followed direction.

[watcher0in0the0water]

mr. mills is a lucky bazturd

[zeynoon1]

God, she is perfect.

[lostgummi]

I want to be Miranda July when I grow up.

[supjack1114]

Damn she is cool and i love the song she has.

I love the movie: Me and you and everyone we know- she directed :D

[brownestcow]

she IS an artist. She's expressing herself and constantly doing things, which is more than the rest of us do with our creative talents. Have you seen her movie "you and me and everyone we know"? Pure genius!! I love her.

[yomisma77]

This is bullshit! I thought this as every "Woman-Magazine" talked of her...

ShE is SUUUCH an artist.

Selbstiszinierung ist nicht gleich KUNST, oder?

[thespread]

philistine.

[thespread]

i'm referring to yomisma77 there, not miranda july. she's great.

[blubbiblubblubb]

id hit it

[5cense]

she really must think she is interesting.

[IHATEEVERYONE9987]

oh, she is.

[cornbruiser]

miranda july: modest talent with a gift for self-promotion.

[gucken78]

envious?

[mikebott]

it's not envy to be sick of hearing useless people and things hyped.

[mikebott]

truest youtube comment in ages.

[spacetraavelisboring]

She is perfect.

[w00ten]

white people have too much time on their hands

[pumpkinmic]

that would be a remark coming from an ignorant prick of course

[donnerbrandpear]

Dude. Racist much?

[mikebott]

does miranda july make the list of "things white people like" ?

[jawsquid]

loll i'd say it's a worthy recommendation for the ever-growing "anthropological study". that site pretty much has me nailed, and i love ms. july . . . it would not be a surprising addition.

[mikebott]

i hold that site in no small amount of contempt because a) it's classist, and b)not really funny

[isradelacon]

she might need to be on a Gondry movie first

[mikebott]

that combination would be like a venn diagram where everything horrible intersects.

[porfavormeudeus]

Oh, yes, I'm really impressed by your favorite videos; you must be great and really intelligent. Anyway, I had already guessed that from your really clever comments and jokes. You're witty, that must be great.

[mikebott]

if you took the time to look at all of them, i'll count that as a small victory for me.

you shouldn't be trying to play the wit in a language you speak so poorly. go drown in saudades, you bootlicking grandchild of estado novo.

[porfavormeudeus]

Small victory? You wish. Oh, and my english is far better than your portuguese, you fucking idiot. You americans can only speak english, right? Go kill yourself while listening to your shit music and self belief.

[mikebott]

haha, i speak 2 languages fluently, in fact i work as a translator, and at least two others passably. maybe you just lack wit in any idiom.

shit music ? i geuss you didn't notice the amalia clips some pages back. (or the irony that blonde redhead are american.)

[porfavormeudeus]

Irony?! I didn't come here for Blonde Redhead. But anyway, I like american music, you cunt. I just don't like people full of themselves. And Amalia isn't that great; she played music for tourists, so go fuck yourself, yankee. Check out Carlos Paredes if you want true portuguese traditional music, without any tricks. "I speak 2 languages fluently and 2 others passably." What a genius! It must be great being you, a true passive idiot. And yes, 90% of the music on your favorites is shit. Goodbye.

[porfavormeudeus]

Oh, and I'm not going to be an idiot like yourself and mention the number of languages I speak "fluently" and "passably". Ridiculous... You, sir, are a true pretentious cunt.

[mikebott]

it's never pretentiousness if you can do what you say. i can't gainsay you accusation that i am passive; distance and the internet deny me the opportunity to break your face.

enjoy your life in spain's adorable little sidecar.

[porfavormeudeus]

Finally, the true homo sapiens that listens to metal bands reveals himself. And by "passive" I meant your role as a translator, you ignorant piece of shit. I thought you were supposed to be intelligent. And the portuguese aren't as patriot as the americans, we're more self-conscious. Therefore, redneck critics don't bother us, our mentality is different. Thank God for that...

[mikebott]

if it troubles you that i like metal, then i'm pleased.

[porfavormeudeus]

Ok, my love.

[porfavormeudeus]

And pretentious is also: "ostentatious; intended to impress others." Looks like the genius doesn't even know the meaning of english words...

[mikebott]

and yet it's surely a sign of pedantry to whip out a dictionary definition.

[porfavormeudeus]

Whatever you say, my love. You've proved that you're a genious.

[porfavormeudeus]

Oops, I meant "genius"... You see? You make me nervous by being the intelligent human being that you are and I write mistakes... Sorry, genious. I love you. You sure are one of a kind.

[mikebott]

gee, you're certainly taking this seriously.

[porfavormeudeus]

You too, my love. Hahaha. Let's see who's the one that leaves the last comment.

[teaflax]

Girls, girls...you're BOTH beautiful.

[porfavormeudeus]

I need you.

[thisismyuserishname]

why are you guys fighting on music video comments?

Go take this to an IM window!!

:P

[imteenagelabotomy]

soo goooood!!!!this inspire...

[bizarsurreal]

[bizarsurreal]

[CreativeNetwork]

Ah, what a lovely artwork. I wish I could hang you on my wall Miranda July.

[noirfilmer]

[devonpurv]

miranda july makes my heavy heart happy.

[MeganMassacreTM]

[cacofonia4]

I share the same lightness

[succulentsurrender]

[eighteenarms]

LOVE LOVE

[motorhead412]

Ms. July and Blonde Redhead. what a perfect combination!

[urssus101]

nice song ,nice video ,nice voice too hugs ^_^

[stargazer712]

It's a pretty video, just watch and enjoy...

[BigshotSpike]

"if you dont like it dont watch it. Duh."

How am I supposed to know I don't like it if I don't watch it? Think about it.

[blonede]

i really like how it's taken in videos rather than photos so theres a bit of an element of fluidity and human-ness to it

just awesome

[jpww1979]

Miranda you are mine.

[rainbowpony1]

don't quote that like it was in some interview. please.

[hunteratunc]

she is very pretty

makes me want to watch me and you and everyone we know a couple more times

[NATURALEZAINVISIBLE]

i like it cause its strange, awkward and not glam.

[LeaheyHoo]

Blonde Redhead rocks! We shot their show in NYC last summer. Check out my profile to watch the video!

[legopants]

is she taking myspace photos? nah i do love her.

[palehorsepalerider]

if you dont like it dont watch it. Duh.

if you dont get it, turn on the idiot box

for some standard idiotic football.

[Lawlzh0rz]

Why do people like this stuff?

I don't get it at all. It's not appealing.

And no, because I don't like this doesn't make me closed minded. It just means I like to watch things that make sense. Miranda July is overrated.

[yurudiego]

who is souljia boy. who is souljia boy. you!!!!!!!!!!. parararara . uooo!!!!!!. I fart and smell like beans. that nasty. you fart like souljia boy.

[barbaragambini]

boring video and sickly song

[potcity]

[KingofContempt]

This is an amazing video, Miranda is beautiful.

[coletdotorg]

where is Colet?

[mred2001]

god, miranda july is my favorite.

[phoenixDay]

Why is her "sex appeal" a topic of discussion? Even the most "sensitive" or "female-loving" opinion is completely irrelevant. If Mike Mills had performed, instead of Miranda July, discussion about how he could have increased his "sex appeal" wouldn't even exist.
