Phoenix
“Lisztomania”
Brat Pack Mash-up
The best mash-ups, whether audio or visual, are entirely intuitive, and make connections between works of art that are both obvious and insightful. Sarah Newhouse’s brilliant notion of cutting footage of teens dancing from John Hughes movies — easily the best thing about the late director’s work!!! — to Phoenix’s boppy “Lisztomania” cuts straight to the heart of the song’s appeal, all the while managing to make the song seem even more joyful, which is quite a feat.
