I am imploring you to find a piece of lost media. (lemmy.world)

There used to be in crisp high quality, a video by George Michael, entitled "Freek" on YT. It was rather weird, and terribly off-brand for him before he died.

Does anyone know where I can find that music video? Any help would be most appreciated, and I hope that some of you freeks could benefit.

George doing that Cyberpunk aesthetic before it was cool.

you aren't kidding, i'm playing Cyberpunk 2077 right now and he could step out of this video into that game and it's a perfect match!

That aesthetic can be found in the Cyberpunk TTRPG books (on which 2077 is based on) going all the way back to the 1980's when only us nerds were into it.

I wonder if George was a closeted nerd.

I used to play Cyberpunk 2020! Well; mostly just rolling up characters not so much actually campaigning. Car Wars, Mechwarrior, Starc Wars, GURPS... rolled so many characters.

I honestly don't recall the art very much though just the covers!

Car Wars!!!

Steve Jackson was a legend!

The musicians I know who aren't closet nerds are vocal nerds. We, uh, had to do something with all that time alone

I have some fucking questions for that editor. That was insane.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

That was wild. Too bad he didn’t get to collaborate with Lady Gaa Gaa. Would have been a powerhouse.

Edit: I see someone else actually already linked the same thing on YT.

Perfect, this is what I needed, thank you.

This post reminds me of my beloved but now removed favourite video to fall asleep to. Star war the third gathers back stroke of the west was so good. The subtitles are on the internet archive but the video had gone through the effort of dubbing the whole thing.
