Oh, boo hoo, the Sentinel Street Edition has perished. Who cares. That bloody newspaper never printed even one of our video selections. What did the Street Edition ever for do us at SMV? Nothing, that's what! So, crocodile tears is all you get from us. But since everyone is getting all nostalgic and clogging up SMV's precious bandwidth with all their blubbering, we might as well join in. 

We can be nostalgic too.  Remember 'the aughts'? Remember when bands in 2002 and 2003 made us nostalgic for the bands who did identical music in 1982 and 1983?  That's what we miss. We miss a time when we could really feel nostalgic from a really nice clean piece of nostalgia.

Take Swedeish electo-poppers The Knife's 2002 song "Heartbeats," for example. That song makes us miss when new music sounded really old. The song was re-released in 2004 after Jose Gonzales did a seemingly more popular cover of the song on 10-string guitar. The lovely irony is, the cover sounds less nostalgic than the orginal.  The Knife's official video brings it all together, combining Super 8 footage with really old analog video affects. The whole things just makes us wish we could go back in time 7 years when the new stuff made the past look so much cooler than it ever was.

[PS- in SMV's humble opinion, March 4th, 2010 Daily Show- tightest, investigative, self-satirizing, infotainment media artifact in years...is it just a funny show with a unsettling ending or a vast left wing media conspiracy to get the Quants?]
