He will be forever remembered as a former Monkee (and son of the inventor of Liquid Paper), but Elephant Parts is a reminder that Michael Nesmith was also a pioneer in music and long-form videos. Produced in 1981, the same year MTV made its debut, the hourlong program consists of 41 comedy bits and videos for Nesmith tunes. Of the former, most star Nesmith himself and are short and silly in an inoffensive, slapstick kind of way, poking fun at TV commercials, rock stars, drug use, and more in a style reminiscent of Saturday Night Live or the now-defunct SCTV. The music videos, which include "Rio" (one of Nesmith's best songs) and four others, are clever and visually rich, making skillful use of the medium well before the advent of computers and other modern techniques. Monkee business? Sure, but darned amusing, and the first video Grammy winner to boot. --Sam Graham
Additional features
Michael Nesmith's full-length "commentary" (every bit as silly and nonsensical as the program itself) is Elephant Parts' principal bonus feature. Other additions include a discography (with brief audio samples from two songs on every Nesmith album--a shrewd promotional tool), a bio, some funny press clippings, and a gallery of still photos. --Sam Graham | | | | Products related to "Elephant Parts" from Amazon.com | |
