Monday Morning Music Videos

Devendra Banhart’s new record Cripple Crow is fantastic–unfortunately, the same cannot be said for his new video for the great song “Heard Somebody Say” (.mov). It’s not bad–far from it–but I suppose I expected much more bizarre rural chicanery, and got bizarre urban chicanery instead. It’s polished, but amateurish at the same time. And I’m thinking that’s Antony (without any Johnsons) in bed, under the sheet.

Conversely, I absolutely love the new Franz Ferdinand video, for “Walk Away” (wmv), solely because of its numerous Hitchcock references.
