New Dresden Dolls Video - "Shores Of California"

Yep, it's been over a year since we first heard Yes, Virginia, but vids in homage to David Lee Roth's past glories take time to prepare, perhaps. Still no word on the official release date of Amanda's Ben Folds-produced solo record (out sometime next year), but this Margaret Cho cameoed-up clip will do 'til then.

I wish they all could be Dresden Dolls.

Awful... what has Ben Folds touched lately that has been good? It's the opposite of the Midas touch. This is the worst Dresden Dolls song I have ever heard, and I've heard a few awful live tracks.

They can consider themselves 1 fan down... Amanda will need to take more clothes off to sell this travesty...

What the hell was that? Nice generic hollywood video shoot with 4 standard shots that the director keep cycling through...the DD used to be cool...

Miffed - the song in the video is from their last album, Ben Folds had nothing to do with it. If you're hearing it for the first time now, you're using the term "fan" extremely liberally.

I liked the video okay, but it's no "Backstabber." Look at all the ponies!

Um, yeah, this video is kind of...different from their other ones. But it's totally better because Kelly's in it.

Betch.

I love Kelly & Margaret. I liked the first DD album quite a bit, but hadn't gotten around to getting this one, mostly since college is 'spensive.

it could just be me but I didn't really see this video as a homage but more like a parody.
but idk, I love the Dresden dolls, kelly and Margret so I have no beef with this video.
