New Ssion Video: "Ah Ma"

Fri Mar 21, 2008 at 01:17:00 PM

Cody Critcheloe and Drew Bolton of the Ssion have sspun video gold once again. The product this time is far more sinister than their previous opus, a dance-party-themed video for Tilly and the Wall's "Beat Control."

In the video for the Ssion's slow, dubby and sleazy maternal address "Ah Ma," Critcheloe gives a lady, presumably his ma (played by KC Mag editor Chadwick Brooks), a messy dye job that leaves her looking tres punk. The change to color at the video's climax, along with Critcheloe's depraved admission, I only walk like a fag 'cause of all of my blisters/And I only fuck girls 'cause you and dad never gave me a sister, make this one worth watching to the end.

As usual I find SSion to be more visually interesting to watch than to listen to. Final wrap up. Cool video. Terrible horrible song. Lyrics are pretty funny though.

since the entire film is in black and white until the guitar solo, i feel that the guitar symbolizes the young protagonist's pubescent foray into self expression and discovery. it's a courageous statement about the farce of convention and the button-down concept called normalcy. no longer will our hero be subjugated by brunette matronly figures.

oh, and i liked the part when he put out his cigarette in a pie. that was cool.
