Little Baby Nothing video

[junkymotown]

Has anyone ever broke this down or done a description of it?

I watched it for the first time in ages today, and there's so many different people and scenes in it, it'd make for a good breakdown with interpretations and explainers... if anyone's willing! (ie. what's the shaking, crying bloke up to?)

Also, on a side note, did the "streetcar" intro ever get put back into any of the reissues or remasters? I used to have it on a copy of GT I had on cassette - which has disappeared somewhere over the years...

Cheers!

The shaking crying bloke, I dunno.. I guess maybe he's representing the kind of rampant sexism that's furious with feminism and comes out with stuff like "feminazi"? Just a guess.. The banana crushing and the He-Man (or whatever it is) blending is a bit obvious.. bit aggressive that. Maybe that's what Shaking Crying Bloke is angry about.

It's not Traci Lords in the video, is it? Wonder why Nicky, Richey and Sean weren't in the video either. Maybe they just couldn't be arsed, bit like with the Some Kind Of Nothingness video.. Remember seeing em in Leeds on the Postcards tour and Nicky talking about buying James a guitar "two thousand pounds of guilt" cos he had to do the video without him. To be fair it didn't look like that much of an inconvenience to James, probably got a good deal out of it.

I've not managed to get hold of a standard version of Generation Terrorists with the Streetcar sample on it, just a case of a guessing game whenever you pop into CEX I think... Not sure if I've got it on cassette either actually, may have to investigate. The only releases I'm aware of that you can guarantee has it on are the promo sampler and Japanese original. Unless there are still copies that don't have it on, mine do anyway..

It really was a case of the others couldn't be arsed. I mean, the director was a music journo (thank fuck it wasn't Price or we'd still be hearing all about it), the girls were a bunch of fans. It was just a cheapo video.

The main girl is called Blanche, I think.

Edit because I found this old article by S Wells:

Also just spotted this gem: "Guitar and bass on the album was recorded in whole by lead singer James Dean Bradfield [something producer Steve Brown denies], with digital drums programmed by Sean Moore and piano accompaniment by Nicky Wire on Little Baby Nothing"

I have the extended LBN intro on CD, promo CD and cassette. It hasn't been released since the original pressings. Found my CD copy in That's Entertainment. If anyones looking for it, look for the code on the shiny side of the disc, if it has an 11 in it then it's extended.

Wasn't one or both of the girls in Shampoo?

So true, especially what he does with his tongue half way through, lol
