When not brandishing his Little Joy, the Strokes’ Fabrizio Moretti plays drums with the penis-skirted Devendra Banhart and cohort Greg Rogove in Megapuss. For the Amy Jo Diaz-directed “Adam & Steve” video we get the guys riffing on George Michael’s “Faith” video, “I’m Too Sexy,” catwalks, and etc., before shooting the clip. The results? Just when you think Devendra Banhart couldn’t get any more annoying, he proved you wrong. Keep your eyes peeled for the rubber chicken and banana hammock. Those are not the same thing.

    is this gayer than george’s vid? probably so

    is it annoyingly bereft of a singular original idea or sound? a resounding yes

    in addition, I wish DB can pull a Palin and just go back to the wilderness somewhere and stay away and off the radar for a long long time, overrated elfin hammy clown

    “Just when you think Devendra Banhart couldnt get anymore annoying….”

    Fuck off!

    Its a great song. Devendra Banhart is a great artist and he definitely knows how to keep things fun and intresting.

  5. Isn’t that guitar solo copied from “I’m Never Gonna Dance Again”?

    I really wish I didn’t know that.

    Nick Valensi is a douchecougar

  7. It depresses me that he got to date Natalie Portman.

  8. This is just a piece of crap, if DB is as talanted as people say, he’s not showing it in this video. And Fabrizio, he’s exactly the same as the other incarnations of the strokes.

    Haaaaaa I love this! It’s so fun! And mmmmm Valensiiii. Man, it’s so trendy to hate on he Strokes these days. You guys are hilarious.

    Not that I needed any more reason to, but I just deleted every single Devendra Banhart mp3 off my computer after watching that.

    chodalicious taint?????? holy geez.

  15. Guys, guys, guys:

    It’s pretty obvious that Devendra takes this really REALLY seriously. If you want a good indication of his abilities as a musician, don’t listen to Cripple Crow or anything like that- this is definitely all you need.

  16. NickG  |   Posted on Nov 7th, 2008

    I think Cripple Crow is a great album

    seriously this is retarded, they know it’s retarded, so why are we paying attention to it? b/c it’s got a few semi famous people in it. what’s more annoying than this cry for attention and faux silliness, is that it actually will get some ink and attention.

    don’t feed the trolls!

    yeah this song kind of sucks but devendra is really talented. i think nothing hes done lately can compare to his first four albums though

    this video is why Prop. 8 passed…..take responsibility for your actions gentlemen.

  20. maybe im wrong  |   Posted on Nov 12th, 2008

    i hate all of these people and this video/song sucked but the ending clips with no sound i found hilarious for some reason, did not expect the robber thing lol

    Cocaine is a hell of a drug

    This song kicks ass. You can all just go turn your minds off somewhere else anyway.
