New Cribs Video - "Moving Pictures"

The bloody brothers of Cribs may surprise you with LP number three, and if you haven't given Men's Needs, Women's Needs, Whatever a chance, change that; tracks like "Bovine Public" and "Girls Like Mystery" capture Kapranos's stellar production in under-three-minute polished pop bursts, helping the Jarmans turn out their best effort yet. "Moving Pictures" is vid #2 from Men's Needs..., and it's bound to be less controversial than the first. The Strokes-y cut sees the boys trade yellow-green screen for black-and-white, and naked female practice-crasher for clothed female practice-crashers. But just like last time, they remain steadfast in the face of distraction. Mama raised the Jarmans well. Or they have serious eye contact issues.

Finally, some 'gum love for one of the best albums I've heard all year. Seriously folks, the new album is melodic as fuck as while still challenging listeners expectations and displaying a rougher side in each song. "Our Bovine Public" is the epitome of this lovable sound.

Can someone explain the whole bloody mouth thing? Does he cut it on the mic and smear it around? I read some article that implied he was actually spitting blood, due to "poor health" from strenuous touring. WTF? I'm actually curious.

Is that Cory Kennedy in the video? Eww! Gee, next thing you know, she is in the next Franz Ferdinand music video. That will sure make my day *rolls eyes*.
