MUSIC VIDEO EMBRACES NATURAL BODIES

As the "Much Music" and "MTV" television networks move more and more into so-called "reality" programming, the promotional video clips for pop songs are being posted more often on the internet. This has allowed musicians to promote their work without the corporophobic strictures of television (remember Janet Jackson?)
The clip for the song "Watching the Planets" by the Flaming Lips is a case in point. It treats the natural body in a more relaxed way. It's well worth a look: The URL is www.nme.com/video/bcid/49582897001.
