A film of manifold horrors. Aside from the title banger I’m not sure I could ratify any of it. Certainly after their High School Musical version of the New York Dolls with “White Punks on Dope” the Tubes did not improve. (I’ve always felt Farrar gave professionalism a bad name, although “A Little More Love” was pretty great.) The coke explanation is a sound one - reminds me of the second Transformers movie, another which felt like it was scripted, acted, shot and edited entirely on marching powder.
Yeah "A Little More Love" is pretty great. As is "Magic", but I think what sells the film to me is all the synths sprayed over everything, and the way the music's subsidiary to the vibe, eg in the first appearance of "magic" I think we're just hearing the bvs to make it more supernatural.

There’s a thesis to be written on the synthesiser as symbol of escape and transcendence.
Fuck yeah.
