Comments on: Very weird music video by Beach House http://boingboing.net/2010/07/21/very-weird-music-vid.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Thu, 20 Jun 2013 03:21:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Anonymous http://boingboing.net/2010/07/21/very-weird-music-vid.html#comment-840455 Anonymous Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-840455 I was introduced to Beach House via the (UK) 'single of the week' via iTunes a while back. Thanks iTunes! (You don't get to say that often ...) My only gripe about the music video is that it isn't a music video. It's just a cool short film with the music played over the top. I see little linkage. Nothing 'wrong' with that ... but I like a tie-in; or at least some characters mouthing the song as a cop-out.

Now I've got to go back and play it again to see if the song was any good. I was so focused on what was going on in the video, I tuned out the music.

It seems like there is a whole genre of drug-inspired hipster music videos emerging. Here is another example below: http://vimeo.com/6518522 I guess it just shows that each generation/subculture has their own take on the psychedelic experience. Weird.

I thought the sandwich was a symbol of peace at first. It turns out it was a Trojan Horse! Also, unless I missed something in the most recent Indiana Jones film, I think the chest-dig is a reference to the Temple of Doom? Mola Ram...Mola Ram... KALI MA!!!! Nicely done.

I've been listening to them since their first album and they were always pretty good. But their latest? Oh boy! My album of the year so far. I think the video is too silly for the song.
