I found their "White Pepper Ice Cream" on my iPod, I had never heard of them and I have no idea how it got there but it was a nice surprise. Thanks for posting this.

I remember seeing this video on MTV back when it was new, almost certainly rather late at night. It was a bit of a mindfuck, but upon subsequent viewings I mostly just came to appreciate the incredible amount of planning that obviously went into it. Pretty sure this was directed by Michel Gondry, who has done a ton of excellent videos (seriously, if you've not done so before check out as much of his stuff as possible).

Recognize the song from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

yeah this was on a VHS of Michael Gondry music videos I had many years ago. He came up with some cool ideas and thankfully was given a budget to play with. e.g this music video was a bit too subtle for the MTV generation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbOhvzVOaJA&index=18&list=PL5F67175A34FF9DD9

Adding video to channels (Art, Timeshift) - requested by Zawash.

LOL I thought the same thing. They guest starred if I remember correctly as the band at the local club where Buffy and friends would hang out at after school.

Good to see an art band make it big on the Sift many years after it's release, no buzz, just Sift.

I've watched the video about 12 times now. Most videos nowadays are nothing but a sequence of over-edited cliches but this was well done.

I didn't realize until now that Gondry did a Smirnoff ad that I have watched dozens of times over the years. I don't know how to embed the video in this post so here's the link below.
There's a higher res version on YouTube.
