New My Brightest Diamond Video - "From The Top Of The World"
Shara Worden -- Outsiders expert -- has a new video for the dreamy A Thousand Shark's Teeth track "From The Top Of The World." I have no idea what is going on in it. It's like a fairy tale made of green screens and papier-mâché, with a side of "Tonight, Tonight" and a crazy gold faced mustache guy in the clouds who's inappropriately fixated on Shara's arm. Oh and the whole thing takes place on her chest? Sure why not.

I can't tell you why I find it pretty, but that's how it is with pretty things. In case you are wondering, here's what it's like to be inside a boy:

Wow. As always, Shara takes the sexy/creepy conundrum to a whole new level. The music and Shara herself are extremely sexy, but that papier-mache mustache guy is going to visit my nightmares for weeks.

I like it. She's a great musician, and 'A Thousand Shark Teeth' is a great album. My Brightest Diamond doesn't really fit in with the rest of the "Indie" and blog scene, even with it's large borders. I feel Shara is ten feet further out than Joanna Newsom and Joanna is pretty much the outer limits of most people's acceptability. But I say this to encourage people to accept the challenge and venture off into this new territory. There is some good music here if you give it a chance.
