tubing 80s to 70s and back

I like Tubing because I like to follow my stream of consciousness when I see certain videos on YouTube. Am I the only one fascinated by this ?

I’m taking a close friend around the East Village later today. Our first stop (unbeknownst to said close friend) is this:

Speaking of square objects…first video up, music-wise is this 80s one-hit wonder. I might have first seen this on NY Hot Tracks way back when:

Look at the experimentation and risk taking here.
Why does that video remind me of this all-time favorite?  New Order forever:

Let’s round out this edition of tubing with a tremendously forgotten one-half hit wonder…..with an awesome video on M T V. Remember when they used to play videos??   At least I can sort of move like those guys. What’s with the barrel swinging tho?
