You can download performance footage from the band on green screen to create a video which will be the oficial if it wins. Sounds good. More infos here: modestmousemusic.com

No it doesn't sound good. It sounds like the label trying to get a good, cheap video and exploiting wannabe directors' enthusiasm.

agreed! Publicity aside, an hdcam or IMAC for a killer video is a complete rip off. Cheap ass

yeah, shame on modest mouse for jumping on an already full and crappy bandwagon.

it seems that your comments are quiet common in a kind of a rollbackeffect when indiepop turns to be mainstream.
