New Of Montreal Video - "Suffer For Fashion"

Sorry kids, the new Of Montreal video has nothing on "Heimdalsgate Like a Promethean Curse" -- mainly 'cause we get precious little of OM's stylist fashionably victimzing Kevin and crew. No giant lobster claws, no spermy-guy suits. Sure there's blush and guyliner involved for the few seconds Kev graces the screen, but otherwise it's a collagist construction/deconstruction, which matches Barnes's cut 'n' paste electro aesthetic and all, but come now: what's the point of looking so fabulous if you ain't gonna flaunt it? Great song though, of course. And a great fucking record.

Watch it at MTV.

Stupid US copyrights. Anyway, great song. Probably my favourite off the record.

Where are all the music video critics?! Everybody went nuts over how bad the Interpol video was-- which I actually enjoyed. This just sucks. Was there some fan made video contest that this lady won? Certainly seems like a green-screen challenge. Maybe it's just so bad that people aren't even bothering to comment.

If I could see it, I'd comment on it (youtube link, anyone?). Glad to hear someone likes the Interpol vid though. Yay!

I miss the weirdo monster dot and 70s kung-fu kicks videos. Those were fun; these just promote.

You have readers around the world right? So don't link to US only content, at least without telling the rest of us we have to skip this one.
