New Broken Social Scene Video - "Major Label Debut"

Lots more drums in the mix on the video-version of this track from Broken Social Scene, set to home-video footage of three years on the road as the coolest Canadian collective we know (and that's saying something!). It ends with a cute, a cappella sing-along of "Band On The Run," and we're calling Amy out for flubbing the lyrics. Know your Wings, Millan!

Oh. Now I look like a jerk. Great video, great song. Is this the mix off the "Free to Be..." EP?

Yes it is. But it's called "EP to be you and me"

Sadly, this looks like a "Farewell friends, thanks for the memories" video.
