What's your favourite music to paint to?
Music and art were meant to be together. I love listening to stuff like weather report, steely dan, ozric tentacles and tycho while I'm painting.

So what's up with the Toto - Africa craze? Are we in another 80's music revival?
My personal theory is that this is similar to the phenomenon of "Don't Stop Believin'" having a surge in popularity in the late 2000's. I know that was commonly attributed to the song's use in the...
My personal theory is that this is similar to the phenomenon of "Don't Stop Believin'" having a surge in popularity in the late 2000's. I know that was commonly attributed to the song's use in the finale of The Sopranos, is there a similar usage of "Africa" that triggered its sudden prevalence in popular culture? What did I miss?
(Not a complaint, it's reminded me of how great 80's music is and I'm listening to an 80's station right now).

The video, in case you haven't seen it yet.
WaPo had an interesting breakdown a few days ago on most of the shots in the video and theories as to their meaning that is worth reading.
However, one thing I noticed they (and most other people so far) missed was that you can see Glover's back in the beginning since he is facing away from the camera and there is clearly no gun in his pockets or in his waistband... so it simply materializes when he reaches behind him after he slowly dances towards his first victim.
They also don't mention how during the third to last scene everyone screams and scatters even though he is only making a gun shape with his hands which, when contrast against the actual scenes of murder causing no reaction by anyone, says a lot.
I am also currently addicted to Reaction videos on YouTube of people watching the video for the first time. Peoples' initial shock and their different interpretations of the video are fascinating to watch. In one of them, someone even mentioned something nobody else seemed to notice... that after the first murder, the gun is carried away by someone else with an almost reverence while the body is simply dragged away like garbage and again after the second murder scene as well.
Anyone else notice any other interesting elements worth noting?
