The Shins, "New Slang" (Dir. Lance Bangs)
OK, so this isn't new but I think it required posting. I saw it once before and loved it, but then when I looked for it again they had some new video for it with the whole Garden State stype shit added to it. I just love all the references in this one. Can anyone spot any more? I regognize the Minutemen, Replacements, Husker Du, and Splint, but I'm sure there are others that I don't recognize. Anyone have any more?
Morningwood video pales in comparison.
Lance rules.
Yeah, I love this video - it also has a bit more recognizable footage of Portland's rippin' Burnside (bridge) skatepark.
This has been a favorite of mine for a long time. I haven’t seen it in a while and am at work right now, but here are the obvious album covers this video:
Replacements – Let it Be Husker Du – Zen Arcade Husker Du – New Day Rising Minutemen – Double Nickels on the Dime Sonic Youth – Sister (the picture of the woman laying down is just like the picture of the back cover on the back of Sister) Cat Power – Moon Pix Slint – Spiderland Squirelbait (First cassette)
. (Note: Go out and get all of these records, but the way. The first 6 I mentioned will be the 6 of the best records you’ll ever hear. Period.)
I think there was a Meat Puppets shot in there, too. I can’t remember now.
I have Zen Arcade, Spiderland, Dbl. Nickles, and Sister. They are all fantastic.
ha! I feel educated now. Great song. I'll have to watch it again to check those references. Frankly, I could stare at a blank wall while that was playing.They rock - in a quiet way.
