I wonder where all those hats went after the video shoot?
This clip originally was being commissioned over at our pal Radar’s house but after 50+ write-ups, none of which the band was too fond or keen on, they decided to go another way. And by ‘another way’ I mean make a big mistake. I guess they thought that putting your lyrics on hats and using tired stop motion tricks was what they were really looking for. Maybe they just didn’t want to pay the money for anything else and decided to go the DIY route. I find it impossible that the other briefs were all worse than this. Anyone out there write on this. What was your brief? Let’s all share.
Find out more about The Black Ghosts over at I Am Sound Records. And if you couldn’t tell that’s Damon Albarn on vocals. I much prefer David Byrne’s vocals on that Fat Boy….hm hm..I mean that BPA single. Assuming I had to choose which white-dude-from-a-retired-band-does-vocals-for-an-electro-beat-track was better. Is there a sign up sheet that I’m not aware of cause I’d like to partake?
Oh and if you google Skill Wizard and Lamo you turn up this gem:
wow… it’s never been so painful to watch people pretend to be/have fun…
oh except the girl with the hula hoop, she’s LOVIN IT.
but minus points to the cameraboy for the zoom-in-on-her-ass-in-the-mirror. that’s just degrading.
I pitched an idea using re-colourised medical stock footage of racing sperms intercut with a Jeremy Kyle-esque love triangle story.
After watching this, it makes me suspect that they blew the entire budget on charlie. Either that or they were forced to accept this idea at gunpoint. Happens all the time in hip hop.
