New YACHT Video - "See A Penny (Pick It Up)"

Stereogum Puppet Show DJ Jona Bechtolt (a.k.a. YACHT, one-half of the Blow) entrusted the directorial direction of his first clip from I Believe In You. Your Magic Is Real. to Matt McCormick, he of the Shins' balloon-liberating "Australia" vid. In return of Jona's confidence, McCormick delivers this touching tale of touring copper, as YACHT the penny braves the rough streets of Portland with nary a pocket to call home. Until the cute girl 'picks him up,' a happy ending for our one-cent hero.

That's the best (only) portland promotional video I've ever seen.

Caught him last night opening for LCD Soundsystem in Chicago - great performance, though at times seemed like karaoke on drugs.

Anyway - sweet video.

i really like this song (and this cd), but i don't know...sometimes it sounds so much like hissing fauna, i just want it to be of montreal singing it, because i know it would be better.

nice video, though.

Maybe not as amazing as he is being the other half of Blow, but still freaking amazing!
