Do Not Watch This Video on LSD

By Esther Kustanowitz on 10/7/2007

Those of you who were at Jewlicious 2 already know that SoCalled is a unique performer. And that he’s produced a unique video for his new song “You Are Never Alone” is no surprise. (Although I do log some disappointment that he has yet to craft a video for “9:45,” possibly one of the greatest bus departure theme songs ever improvised…)

But this one is so out-there that I was even a bit surprised. There seems to me a clear homage to 80s-era Peter Gabriel, but taken to a new level. Check it out and log your thoughts. But like I said, don’t watch it if you are currently under the influence of hallucinogenic drugs (in the Jewlicious fan base, this may mean more of you than I want to know about–so come down, and then press play).

Why no embed? A technical problem I have with posting here that never fixes itself. If the blogdude ever comes back from Uzbekistan or whatever, maybe he’ll fix it.

(ed. TM has embedded the video)

Weird. Cool. Interesting. Original. What it has to do with Jewish cowboys is beyond me.

It’s the shirt. The cowboys made him wear that shirt.

BTW, this video had like 6000 views when I posted this. And now, it’s a featured post on YouTube and is up to 93,439 views. I think we can call it viral now.

Fantastic video and top notch production…quite a step forward from his previous efforts, though all of his videos are quite enjoyable. Great tune, as well…I’m still miffed I missed him when he played a show in Banff, this summer.

That video would be way fun to watch on LSD. But maybe not on the first time taking the stuff.

Is Muffti trying to come across as a bad boy?

Don’t you just hate it when you cut your face off and turn yourself into a movie projector? I hate it when I do that….

It wouldn’t have been possible were it not for my upbringing on “follow the bouncing ball” cartoons in my early childhood. 🙂
