I like the cult boyfriend video a lot, i've seen it before, i supposed it was official. What is that shirt you're wearing there with the drawing on a face on it?
The little girl singing roll bus roll is nice.
When my daughter was one month old i sometimes tried to play her song to calm her down, i played some stuff on mine and some soft cover songs, BUT the song that got her to sleep was the cover of Graveyard, how weird is that? _________________ http://uberaffe.bandcamp.com

I like this one a lot. The intro makes me think on a Creedence tune, it's one of my favorite of yours, love the vocal melodie, very jefflewissy...i first heard it in a video where you were sitting on stairs, was supposed to be a work in prgress.

The Krogru Green Slime Vid is great-- just as imaginative as the song. It's the video I had wanted to make but never got around to it. I can see where it took a major effort and lots of skill in video making.
Ugh, that day we recorded that above performance/interview clip for the Guardian in London, that was a tough day! Sometimes when I have been getting too little sleep for a few days in a row, or if I'm really stressed out, or both stressed-out AND sleep-deprived, I have an attack of severe dry lips that makes it hard to speak and makes me feel like my mouth is visibly swollen even though it actually seems to look totally normal... it just feels all wrong, like my mouth has turned to stone, or glass... like when your hand falls asleep and starts to feel like a strange heavy weight that you're carrying around that is no longer part of you... it would have been bad enough to have to do a radio interview in that weird-lip condition, but this was actually being filmed for a major news outlet so all these people were potentially going to not just hear me but SEE me looking all swollen and uncomfortable and speaking distortedly... and with those bright lights shining right in my face... AND on the way to the Guardian offices Jack realized he was no longer carrying his blue sleeping bag (usually tied to his backpack), so he started re-tracing his steps back out of the Guardian building, he skipped appearing on the session, and went back to the railway station we had come from, hoping to find his sleeping bag on the street somewhere. One of the Rough Trade employees whom we had been walking with said that he thought he might have seen the blue sleeping bag with a homeless person on the street, so then Jack thought that a homeless person must have found his dropped sleeping bag and taken it, so while Nan and I were recording the session Jack was going up to all the homeless people in the neighborhood to see if they had found his sleeping bag! Eventually this ALL turned out to be totally wrong, and somebody found Jack's sleeping bag had actually just been left in the Rough Trade office before we even got on the train in the first place! I think I'm remembering this story correctly, but I could be confusing it with some other situation (Jack used to lose his sleeping bag a lot! And everything else! Like the time Jack's bass disappeared from a mountain top in France, and we launched a massive search party... days later it was mysteriously found in the woods... but that's another story... or the time Jack left all of his money under a table in a cafe in Berlin, and went back about 4 hours later, freaking out, and it was still there!! And many, many other stories like that!).

I haven't noticed anything wrong watching it, it's the song that i like a lot, not that special video of it. The explonation at the begining are cool though. _________________ http://uberaffe.bandcamp.com
Yeah, it's one of those situations where you think at the time "this is totally messed up" but then if you re-visit it years later it seems fine. That's why it's usually a big mistake to tell an audience if you're having a "problem" because the problem is usually totally unnoticeable, it's mostly in your own head... unless you tell everybody there's a problem, and then everybody starts thinking maybe there's a problem... like telling everybody your guitar is out of tune, usually nobody would have noticed if you don't tell them, but if you announce it then they might start noticing!
