The Airportline: Observations

It seems as if nudity has gotten some kind of revival in popular culture lately. I am not sure why this is the case. Perhaps its all that normative conservatism that is floating around in the political sphere that is making people revolt, or maybe its just an extreme way of showing yourself off when comedic Facebook status updates or Youtube videos of a sleep walking dogs running into a wall is no longer enough? White bony indie musicians seem to have an especial interest in doing this and I personally have no real issue with it, although when it is sold in a music video I always get the feeling that they are trying to cover up the fact that the music maybe isn't that interesting without nudity. The Brooklyn duo Matt & Kim did pull the combination of good music and interesting nudity by throwing their clothes of in New York's Times Square to the tune of their very pretty melodic song Lessons Learned.
