i remember watching this video in a college class a few years back, and i just recently bothered searching for it. one of my good friends was in the class with me and we couldn’t stop laughing. jan svankmajer is a great man.
PART 2:
my good friend and videographer/director/prostitute raul fernandez recently shot a music video for my other good friend ian, who operates under the name the woods. ian has a wide range of musical friends whom he summons whenever he requires additional musicianship, which i am very proud to be a part of.
the woods also just completed a cross-country recording in the form of an EP. the album was recorded by friends from all over the united states: tallahassee, gainesville, tampa, minneapolis, los angeles, and new york.
you can see the video and download the EP for free by visiting: http://www.thewoodsvideo.com its worth it, i swear
