xiu xiu - boy soprano

cool music video
erm... th'end was ok, but - isn't this idea embalmed and mummified by now?
i guess?
mummified only if done as the sole end gag of the video, which this one avoids. this has plenty of weirdnesses edging into disturbing territory.
plus i love that video game videos are progressing to 16-bit era graphics and games. SUCH a mortal kombat number on the characters.
Soo weird. That beginning/end scene reminded me of the Smurfs video game a little. I guess it was the bat. Is this modded off some actual game? I can't put my finger on it.
No its all original art. I heard they hired some guy from the game industry to direct it. Good stuff. I wonder if parent groups are going to get upset about the violence and smoking? Video games are corrupting our youth!! :)
this is great! i love it!
