I got really into MUSE back when their 'Showbiz' album was just another forgotten LP on the shelves in BORDER's, San Francisco. I had to mail-order their second album (my favorite, 'Origin of Symmetry") because Madonna's MAVERICK label hadn't agreed to distribute it in the US.

I covered 'Bliss' in my early 20's, from that same record, and kinda lost touch with them over the years as my listening tastes changed. But recently I decided to learn a few of their songs ... 'Absolution' and 'Map of the Problematique.'

What sets Muse apart is their ability to be accessible to the POP-music world, and still be dark, political, and ultimately, relevant.

I used some basic stock footage I filmed over the past several years: Urban scenes from downtown San Jose, Ca, riding the light rail with a bunch of music gear, biking through SJ State University, and images from the CITADEL, a labyrinthine art warehouse I played a show at a few weeks ago.

This performance was recorded w/ one mic, a loop station, an SP-404 (vocal processing), and acoustic guitar.
