Homegrown Music Video Fest 2016
The videos from the 2016 Homegrown Music Video Festival have been popping up online, and PDD is archiving them on a page. We’ll continue to add to the collection as we find them or as they are sent to us.
Here’s a sample by Tomas Soderberg – “Machinery” by the Social Disaster
What year did Homegrown jump the shark?
Actually, that was a subject of discussion last week and the determination is that it will happen in two years, but it will be referred to as “jumping the shark-Gartman.”
Seemed like a lot of the usual heavy hitters dropped out this year. Sad to see real talents like Silk Sheiks sitting out too. But I wish HGMF would take a cue from MWMF by gathering acts from around the region as well as local. This would probably help to remedy HG’s inbred aspect/ be one way to seriously up its game. But even in the case of MWMF, this year’s roster was dumbed down with the usual sally-wash that saturates today’s music. For me anyway, you’ve got water entering the hull when your headliner ends with Messersmith or Koza.
