Our new blogger Marc Campbell writes: I made the 88 Lines About 44 Women video using rare, and mostly forgotten, footage from some obscure Italian Mondo movies. Of the dozens of 88 Lines videos on youtube, mine is the only one made by someone actually associated with The Nails.  RCA (idiots) never released the song as a single, so, as a result, no video was made…until now. This video has been banned countless times by YouTube, but the current upload has somehow averted banishment.

Thanks Richard for including my video on DANGEROUS MINDS, my favorite new internet site.

My inroduction to Dangerous Minds could not be better than Marc Campbell’s video: sensual, mysterious, even sexy. Plus, 88 Lines has been an obscure favorite of mine for years.

Marc, if you read this…where did you ever find the amazing footage? And do you have other video available for viewing?

David,

Thank you. I do have more videos, which you can watch here: http://vimeo.com/user2071342/videos

this video is awesome. i love it. great song.

Excellent video Marc… Im really enjoying all your contributions to the site.

Marc,
I’m going through your videos. it’s quite an education. Thanks.

Wow!  Marc Campbell!  It is a pleasure to see you are still kicking around!

Mood Swing and Dangerous dreams were among among my favorite tapes of my teenage/young adult years.  The dark, apocalyptic music with ambiguously biblical overtones really spoke to me.  It was always a private pleasure, as I never knew anyone else who listened to them. 

A note on the video:  I’m somewhat familiar with Polynesian tattoo traditions, and have undergone a similar tattooing process (“Tatau”), but don’t recognize either the pattern, or the use of the stamp.  Does anyone know where this footage was taken?

I watched the video again, and saw that the tattoing wasn’t actual Polynesian.  It’s from Borneo… I was confused by the mixing in of the Polynesian children dancing, which appears to be in French Polynesia.
