Music Video of the Day: Dance Alone by SIA, featuring Kylie Minogue (2024, dir by Dano Cerny)

What better way to start the week than with the latest music video from Kylie Minogue and Sia?

For a long time, I resented Sia for hijacking the finale of Survivor 32 and spending so much time talking about her love for Tai that we never got a chance to hear why the jury had voted for Michele over Aubrey.  But eventually I realized that was more Jeff Probst’s fault as opposed to Sia’s.  Sia may have run out on stage unannounced but Probst is the one who let her stick around.  Plus, Music was such a bizarrely ill-conceived film that it’s hard not to appreciate Sia’s refusal to be anyone other than Sia.

(For the record, I think Michele won because the overly analytical Aubrey seemed like she was probably a bit of a pain to live with on the beach.)

As for Kylie, she’s one of the best of all time.

Enjoy!

This video was directed by the man who edited the controversial 1983 film, Angst.  This video was also controversial and was banned in New Zealand for being too violent.  Compared to what I see whenever I scroll through my twitter timeline, this video seems incredibly tame (albeit entertaining) today.

Myself, I would never order anyone to destroy a musical instrument.  Well, I guess I would if it was like a harmonica or something.  Don’t get me started on harmonicas.  Unless you’re Charles Bronson in Once Upon A Time In The West, stay away from the harmonica.  I’m looking at you, Tim Kaine.

Enjoy!
