It wouldn't be a video without a NSFW kind of moment...which comes early in
Owen Pallett's new video for "Lewis Takes Off His Shirt". Wonder if that's Lewis there...the one getting cigarette smoke blown up his arse? Talk about a nicotine fix! Later, the computer game shuffle of looped violins and vocals gets met with some lickity split splicing of images both surreal and of the everyday variety. It's a pretty wicked video. What Pallett is getting at, however... Who the heck knows?!
In other news, a limited edition

Owen Pallett's website . The book (189 pages) is bound by hand and includes the full orchestral score of the album, lyrics and diagrams for ARP 2600 patches. The score book is limited to 300 copies.
