git out of my hed!

Strange days. I'm half-way through my pharmaceutical detox, a 2-week period in which I'm neither on my previous meds or my new one. Various difficult episodes and effects, the most notable would be about 36 hours of having the inside of my right heel itch furiously. Anyway. The only thing I really want to share with the world now should be:



Background: Technohead was a hubby/wife duo of Lee Newman and Michael Wells in the 90s, who also recorded under many, many other names. Their biggest hit was I Wanna be a Hippy, which topped the charts in like 20 countries, of course none of which was the US. If you haven't heard the tune before, well, blame the Republicans... I always do. But I was bored and so cruised through youtube for the video. I wish I had a decent copy of the thing.



The second vid is of the Ska remix of the tune. I probably have about 15 different mixes of the original track (hey, I even have the fucking t-shirt of it), but this is one of the best, and I'm psyched someone made a video of it, a very very awesomely awesome video.



I'd never seen this last vid before today: it's for their track Headsex, and I was so happily shocked to see that Newman and Wells are actually in it. At least, I'm almost positive that Newman is the woman in the video (it's definitely Wells walking around in a uniform). But the only other pics I've seen of her are:

and .

I hope this is her in the video; she died soon after this album came out, and I love the idea that this hot/wild she was she. If not, it's still probably an appropriate representation of her willz & skillz.

Oh but the best I Wanna Be a Hippy video of all has to be...
