The Spice Wars Pt. II

Time for more inspiration. Often artists, musicians, and even the common man have looked to other cultures for inspiration during trying times. But with conception and acceptance of the kitsch aesthetic, it's become necessary to go beyond orientalism and trivialize to discover... Bollywood.

Bollywood (a play on the name "Hollywood") is the name for the film industry in India. Often of a musical song and dance style, were first made in order to emulate the then popular hollywood style movie of singing, dancing love story. Later on, Bollywood movies began to more directly copy western films, even at times taking entire segments from the originals. Turkish films in particular are known for this practice. However, no matter how close these films mimic the original, the end result is always foreign to a western viewer. With that in mind, we hope at Platypussy Records that these clips will help you to spice up your own life and get the creative juices flowing. Because if some smart soul out there manages to imitate these imitations one more time, the result is guaranteed a bizarre charm all of its own.
