Bomp Chukka Bomp . . . A Bicycle?


 The music in the Canadian documentary series How It's Made is decidedly pornographic sounding, and-- oddly-- this fits the content of this wonderfully mindless "educational" show . . . as there is no end to the thrusting, riveting, pounding, compressing, and generally pneumatic action that goes into the manufacture of the featured articles . . . and the camera lingers on these activities for an extensively graphic and gratuitous amount of time, so that you can truly enjoy the rhythm and the motion of the machines, while you zone out to the cheesy techno riffs and beats.

  2. we're only five or six episodes in . . . and it's the only show they're allowed to watch because they've been grounded in so many ways, so it will be a summer of "how it's made."
