videos

a reminder
director: justin

the video is in black and white. the camera's point of view is as though it is through a person's eyes. you never see the person. when the video begins the person is dead, and underground. for the first minute and a half or so, while there are strange voices and some music, it is in color. this whole time dirt is completely covering the camera. occasionlly during this time a worm or bug crawls past the camera.

if i get old i will not give in
the second the singing begins, the camera shoots into the air. as soon as the camera is no longer covered in dirt, the video becomes black and white. it looks as though it is about 100 feet up, and i suppose it's the dead person's spirit, or ghost, or whatever.

but if i do remind me of this
the camera starts to move in the air. on the ground you can see a bunch of houses, and what looks like a dog urinating on a fire hydrant.

remind me that
the camera starts to move down pretty fast. it looks as though it's going to crash into a roof.

once i was free. once i was cool
the camera goes through the roof and you see a bedroom with a small bed and a tv. next to the bed is a horse with a midget on top of it. the midget is wearing a richard nixon mask much too big for him. his arm is up the air and swinging a cowboy hat.

once i was me
the camera moves out of the bedroom to the hallway where you see about 15 babies crawling around on the floor. theres some kind of animal that looks like a raccoon biting one of their necks. the baby seems not to notice, but there is a puddle of blood on the floor. 3 of the babies have large Xs over their face, you can't see their face at all. another one is wearing an oj simpson mask about the same size as the nixon one.

and if i sat down and crossed my arms
the camera quickly goes up through the roof again and into the air. on the street you can see 2 chalk outlines of bodies. the camera starts to move foreward and passes a few houses.

hold me until this song
the camera goes down into another house, but as soon as it enters, it quickly goes foreward and leaves through the wall. all you can see of the room is a poster of "blossom"

knock me out
the camera continues to go foreward for a couple of seconds until it goes through the wall of the next house. its a bathroom. it goes through the floor where it ends up in a kitchen.

smash out my brains
there is a woman pouring the contents of an unmarked black bottle into two bowls of pasta. sitting at the kitchen tables are two children, about the ages of 6 and 10. the woman starts to bring the bowls to the children with a nervous smile.

if i take a chair
the camera starts to move slowly toward the wall as the children take a bite. as it leaves, you can see the children simultaniously grab their own necks as though they are choking, and their faces start to change to a grayish color, probably greenish-blue if it wasnt black and white.

start to talk shit...
the camera is now outside, and pretty close to the ground. radiohead is playing in the middle of the street. jonny is playing fairly hard, and you can tell they are not playing a reminder, possibly just.

if i get old remind me of this
the camera enters another house through the wall. there are two large couches with about 50 identical looking bald, old men not moving at all. in the center is a fireplace where a young female body is burning.

that night we kissed and i really meant it
the camera goes upstairs through the ceiling into another room. threre is a monkey sitting on a bed. next to it is the head of a smilar monkey. next to the bed is a man in a dress putting a wig on. there is a bit of blood on his left side, and you can see something bulging out of that area. there are a few small holes with some black hair sticking out of it, the color of the monkeys on the bed.

whatever happens if were still speaking
the camera moves back downstairs. it is not in the room with the old men. it is a small room with padded walls, floor, and ceiling. thom is in a straight jacket jumping around and looking rather insane. the camera doesn't stop, it continues to go down.

pick up the phone
it keeps on going as it passes a basement. those two german people from milli vanilli are dancing next to a large gray machine. the camera continues to go down through the floor.

play me this song
it is underground and going through dirt. it starts going very fast through the dirt for a few seconds until it stops. it stays in that position in the dirt until a few seconds after the song ends.
