The Hot Half Life Presents... Theme Week, Volume One.




Every now and then, I get on a mega-kick with writing. It's funny because when I have no reason to write, I seem to get a million ideas, however, when a deadline is rapidly approaching, I tend to scoff and put it off as any good writer would.

So I was having one of these "big time writing" days and queuing up various posts for this here Hot Half Life when I realized that an alarming amount of these entries were focusing on something I hadn't spent very much time on in the past: Music videos.

Thus, I've decided to introduce the first Hot Half Life theme week, focusing on new music videos and a few old ones that are worth a watch.

First up? Josh Ritter's absolutely beautiful video for not only my favorite track off his latest record, So Runs The World Away. but also one of my favorite tracks of his no-short-of-prolific career, "The Curse". What's better to kick things off than one of my favorite artists? Well, kicking things off with one of my favorite artists and marionettes! Let's do this, kids.
