Analysis of “MIA” Vid

I love concert-goer descriptions. It’s just a fun topic. Pretty much everyone reacts differently to live music.

Instructions:
1. Watch this video of Black Lips “MIA” – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-_kNZOjMto

Observe:
A. Bradford Cox – White Sweatshirt W/ Hood – Cox is all head…no pun intended. He has his arms folded and seems a bit chilly. But vigorous head motions? That’s what he does..

B. Man With Hat – He’s sort of bobbing up and down, but he’s too worried about spilling his beer. He’s loving life.

C. Black Shirt, White Tie – Looks like he just got out of a tough meeting with a client. Interesting attire for a punk gig. He’s awfully afraid of getting hit by a firecracker. He progressively has more fun. At first he’s just kind of there but then he really starts getting into it…until the firecrackers.

D. Coffee Lady – She clearly stumbled upon the show after getting her mochafuckachino from Starbucks. Like the Man With Hat, she doesn’t want to spill that $3.00 concoction. God forbid.

E. Grey Long Sleeve Druggie – This guy takes the cake for being a pretty die-hard fan, but it’s all about the weed for this guy. Take a hit, dance around. Take a hit, dance around. He knows his routine. Stomp it out. Pull out expensive digital camera from pocket? What the fuck! Where’d that come from? Gets really fucking scared when the firecrackers set in. He curls up behind Black Shirt.

F. Frat Boy W/ Scarf – This guy is only shown for like 10 seconds total, but he’s worth nothing. He has on a pink scarf and is drinking from a solo cup. Frat party sucked so he took a road soader. He was also a late arrival.
