When Preachers Make Music Videos

You may have been caught up in the underground cursing preacher craze that Station Manager Ken started a few months back, or perhaps found yourself saved by a giggling monk or the clown ministry. Alternatively, you may prefer mainstream religious nuts flipping out (or just flipping life-prolonging pancakes), satanists who run for office, or beatnik pastor poets. But I guarantee that no shepherd on WFMU's shortlist can shake it quite like Reverend Alecia.

Witness her compelling use of gold lamé fabric draped over an office chair and mall music video -caliber special effects in this kaleidoscope of arm-flapping, neon worship. Download the video of "Yahweh, Your Wisdom Lets Me Walk in the Light" right here (wmv, 26 MB).

Thanks to Irwin and Robin Edgerton for resurrecting this from an old public access tape.

The giggling monk seems to have worked with Reverend Alecia's video director.

credits on this actually go to an old friend of mine (name removed to protect the innocent) whom reverend alecia contacted to do some computer work--special effects? web site? for...he still lives in fear that she's going to be angry at him for sharing her videos. He never did the work. You don't want to make reverend alecia angry!

then again they WERE shown on manhattan public access originally....
