A Courtesy Flush for The BPA



The Brighton Port Authority definitely deserves props for originality. Toe Jam is the second single and video release by BPA. Shot like a 1970s porno, Toe Jam, features a good looking cast of disrobed youths bounteously gyrating and wiggling to the title track. I certainly enjoyed the video, it's creative, funny, cleverly censored yet...naked. However, the song gets irritating after the first 30 seconds or so, though the video is definitely worth a run-through. I wonder what the FCC is thinking? Maybe they should inquire into Fatboy Slim's agenda: believing a collaboration between Bavid Bryne, Dizzee Rascal and himself was a good idea? I think not. BUT, the thought behind BPA as a vehicle for collaboration under false pretences is quite the idea. Will BPA encounter the same success as The Last Shadow Puppets? Alright, maybe that's not the best comparison but it will suffice. Anyway, "He's Frank," featuring Iggy Pop, is a much cooler track.
