Lose Yourself???

from the get go, Lose Yourself To Dance was my favourite song of Random Access Memories.  what a bummer this new video shows more clapping than actual dancing.  in fact, if Soul Train was an inspiration, why isn't anyone losing their shit with crazy ass dance moves?! considering how much money they've made with this album, doesn't Daft Punk get enough of a budget to go nuts & do something a lot less boring or lazy?  at the very least, a bit different from the previous video?!  then again, this is what happens when you let artists think they can direct their own videos instead of trusting an accomplished filmmaker do the job...  i still love the jackets, but c'mon, they're so last spring already (i.e. Get Lucky).  sighhh!  Doin' It Right quickly became my other fave; still is.  i hope they allow for a far more creative collaboration & get it right if they pick it for their next video!
