The power of the video and the music mess perfectly. Especially with both band members ability to play their respective parts perfectly. There are three interesting things that I would want to comment on. Uno, the use of skipping in the video/song. This is the first time I have every seen this done (outside of rap(and used effectively)) Each seen after they skip is also not the same. You get closer with each moment. Dose, (and least important) are the flashes in the (i-want-a) section after the b/w goes to color. I see flashes that are not roll-out of the camera. They are scenes from different parts of the video and the same shot colorized differently. Tres, the ending of the video. (Right after the "take him in the bath" Ahem "fuck him in the ass") It is very clear that she wants sex from her coin operated boy, she puts in another quarter. You can watch her face as he takes of his glasses. She doesn't get what she wants. I have no idea what this implies but it makes me think anyway. Oh and props for using the word smitten in their song. But my favorite part of the video is when he gets taken in the bath. His expression then hers is classic. GA: I think this video doesn't compare to COB. It has great moments, when the body falls in the background, the girl at the keyboard keeps changing. But the video seems a little amateurish. I believe is the craziness of the characters and the props that make this video cool. The director of COB took it that extra couple of steps. Extra notes: This seems like the kind of girl who would drive your car off a cliff because another girl brought you drink. Damn she‚Äôs hot. COB: You nailed it with this one Moto.

I did think it was so.hot when the Brian Viglione (the *other* Brian with an Italian last name) stood up to bash his cymbals. Re: GA~ I like this way more - the weirdness/intensity is genuine and contagious. Re: COB~ I don’t know…sometimes I don’t like it when people are avant garde just to be avant garde, you know?

I must admit that at first sight, with just the picture you displayed, i didnt think I'd like it all that much. Goes to show, never judge a book by its cover :) well done They have an extremely different and interesting style which always equals good.
