The first official video from Butch Vig-produced, proud-as-a-peacock Chase This Light offers a groove-acious, commercial-free version of the Go Big Casino-referencing “Big Casino” set against a sandy, faux-gambling backdrop where Jimmy, that pseudo-NJ success story, can intone about the books he wishes he’d read.
The vibe and sentiment kinda reminds us of Bryan Adams. Except he’s Canadian. Guessing that’s somewhere in Arizona? NJ beaches aren’t that clean.
Chase This Light is out on Interscope.

Yeah, it’s Bryan Adams. Not “Brian.”
ah, you fixed it!
weird, musicquizking. yeah, i noticed the misspelling (we learned our lesson with “bryan ferry”), made the change, saw your comment, then ended up in a commenting time warp. think it’s all sorted out now, but my head hurts.
13 year old girls are going to love this shit. It’s just horrible. There’s a lyric in there about dancing on the ceiling for Christ’s sakes. If I was Lionel Richie I’d be on the phone with my lawyer right now.
You’re not bigger than beer, not better. Why can’t you beeeeeeeer.
Does this band have fans?
@ Stevezie
They used to be great.
the video is cool though.
that is so corny. i’m surprised anyone is still making music videos like this. it was like a blast of the 90s!
I was a little disappointed with this album, because it’s so damn happy for the most part. Futures and especially the EP after it were really grimy and dark (Disintegration has a drum circle, for crying out loud) and I was hoping that would carry over. Sadly, no such luck.
This is a pretty great single though.
Not Arizona — it’s the neon graveyard outside of Las Vegas, where all the old casino signs go to rot. It’s been in quite a few other music videos.
hey! there aren’t any beaches in arizona !
