The Rich Girls Are Weeping

11 August 2006

I knew I would miss something whilst I was ill. Namely, the video for the first single off the Mountain Goats' Get Lonely, "Woke Up New." Directed by Rian Johnson (Brick), it's a gorgeous little film, full of ingenious camera trickery, that compliments the song wonderfully. Also note that bassist Peter Hughes is wearing all his favorite suits therein. We approve!

Coincidentally, the link to my blog needs fixing. There appears to be two https. Thanks for linking me anyway.; Saturday, August 12, 2006 5:18:00 AM
