Bird In The House
…the video!
Today, Rich Black dropped off a copy of the Kill Rock Stars “Video Fanzine 3” dvd, which I didn’t even know existed. It includes a video for “Bird in the House” …a tune from the “Uncle” album. I think the dvd hits stores on July Somethingteenth. I shot the video on a camcorder a long time ago, back when I still had some contact with the label, and it was edited at some guy’s office on his pc. That guy, Rich and I edited it. We intended to do another one for the song “Behistun” but it got late and we figured we’d get back to it another time. Never did.
I hadn’t seen the video since that night, and finally viewing it now felt a bit strange. It has an unavoidably cheesy “public access” quality to it, and I’m unsure whether the humor of the thing comes off; the bridge, for example, is accompanied by a long shot of me waving from a rope bridge across a chasm at Rock City in Tennessee. Nevertheless, as it is the sole video document of my fabled career, it may interest one of you. Hell, it may interest both of you. Since the dvd also includes clips of Sleater-Kinney and the rest of the KRS roster, it represents the latest chance for my work to be mentioned in passing on web sites. I look forward to Googling my name to see if any of these passing mentions also include passing commentary.
So mark your calendars for July Somethingteenth, stalwarts! And, as ever, keep on a-rockin’!
