Crickets Chirping

Chris recommended Menomena to me when I told him that I really dig Deerhoof. I have to say it was a great recommendation.

That brings me to the video for their song, Cough Coughing (above). It reminds me of the kinds of things I see in my dreams. When I tried to describe the video to Craig over breakfast, I had to stop several times because I was laughing so hard I cried.

The video is directed by Jonnie Ross, who has done a number of commercials for MTV2 and this video for Belle and Sebastian’s “The Blues are Still Blue”.

Menomena are playing tomorrow night at The Parish Room.
