Can Tim Heidecker Be In And/Or Direct All The Music Videos Now, Please?

This is a music video for "You Have My Eyes Now" by Clues, an indie-rock band from Montreal that features members of the Unicorns and Arcade Fire. The Unicorns! Arcade Fire! Your favorite! Maybe you already knew about Clues, but I didn't. They don't print fun facts about obscure Montreal supergroups on the insides of Werther's Originals wrappers. In any case, now we can all go out and impress our kickball league team captains!

But also, can Tim Heidecker be in and/or direct all the music videos now, please? Him or Eric Wareheim, really, but they are great at being in and directing music videos. Seriously. And once we have that squared away, we can get back to work figuring out who watches music videos anymore.

I am a huge Tim & Eric fan, but this video is boring. I honestly expected much greater after reading the headline.

You clearly don't get the ending, then. Because the ending makes the whole thing PERFECT. God damn. Such a good song/video.

I respectfully disagree, I didn't say "I don't get it", I said it was boring. Those are two different things. However, I will agree with you that the song is good.

I think Jon Hamm's performance in Mad Men calls for a "meh".
I don't get it. He's just always so quiet...

And Colin Kincaid
From the 12th grade
Guess you could say he was my best friend
Lived in a big tall, house out on Westfall
Where we would hide when the rains rolled in

If my girlfriend looked like a mix between Kim Deal and Catherine Keener and she was flirting with the shoe salesman in plain view of me, I'd do the same thing. Solidarity, brother.

FYI- Technically you can't be arrested for sexually assaulting a mannequin. My lawyer can explain it a lot better than me though...

-As this video's director, I feel so strongly convicted by everything you've said that I'm going to start by taking the video down and demanding all the sites that blogged about it remove their posts.

-Then I'm going to free my mind of all personal tastes in music, film*, television, books, religion, and education so it's virtually impossible for me to be identified as that white guy who directed the Clues video.

-Then I'm going to permanently paint my body a non-descript color and only wear leatards so I can't be singled out as relating to any particular group of people.

- I hate being white. I hate hate hate being white. I suggest you all follow these directions.


*except Jurassic Park, I'm hard-wired to love Jurassic Park.

Eric Warehiem is great and everything, I do love his videos, but I'd personally I'd like to see more from Tim Heidecker. If anyone hasn't seen his "stand up" bits on youtube, check it out now.

My kickball team captain would not be impressed. He's too busy making up cheers to the tune of We Will Rock You to care about Clues.

I watch videos. I like good ones that fit the form and content of the song being featured. Like this one. And now I'm going to get this album. See what happened there? Economy 3.0 or marketing in a digit- bang.
