It's been awhile, but Cornershop's still alive and following up 2002's Handcream For A Generation with the forthcoming Judy Sucks A Lemon For Breakfast. That's where you'll find first single "The Roll Off Characteristics (Of History In The Making)." You'll also find it as the backing track to this Prashant Bhargava-directed video. Cornershop offer the details at MySpace:
Well before the current interest in India as a different locational source for film, Chicago's award winning Grafitti artist turned award winning Film-maker and Designer Prashant Bhargava put together his film Patang -- this feature length drama is set during the jubilant atmosphere of India's largest kite festival.Luckily for us he also did a video for "The Roll Off Characteristics"
Lucky for us, too. Get out your confetti:
