New Megapuss Video - "Adam & Steve"

thumbnail icon: New Megapuss Video - "Adam & Steve"

When not brandishing his Little Joy, the Strokes' Fabrizio Moretti plays drums with the penis-skirted Devendra Banhart and cohort Greg Rogove in Megapuss. For the Amy Jo Diaz-directed "Adam & Steve" video we get the guys riffing on George Michael's "Faith" video, "I'm Too Sexy," catwalks, and etc., before shooting the clip. The results? Just when you think Devendra Banhart couldn't get any more annoying, he proved you wrong. Keep your eyes peeled for the rubber chicken and banana hammock. Those are not the same thing.

is this gayer than george's vid? probably so

is it annoyingly bereft of a singular original idea or sound? a resounding yes

"Just when you think Devendra Banhart couldnt get anymore annoying...."

Isn't that guitar solo copied from "I'm Never Gonna Dance Again"?

I really wish I didn't know that.

It depresses me that he got to date Natalie Portman.

This is just a piece of crap, if DB is as talanted as people say, he's not showing it in this video. And Fabrizio, he's exactly the same as the other incarnations of the strokes.

Not that I needed any more reason to, but I just deleted every single Devendra Banhart mp3 off my computer after watching that.

Guys, guys, guys:

It's pretty obvious that Devendra takes this really REALLY seriously. If you want a good indication of his abilities as a musician, don't listen to Cripple Crow or anything like that- this is definitely all you need.

seriously this is retarded, they know it's retarded, so why are we paying attention to it? b/c it's got a few semi famous people in it. what's more annoying than this cry for attention and faux silliness, is that it actually will get some ink and attention.

don't feed the trolls!

This song kicks ass. You can all just go turn your minds off somewhere else anyway.
