Just wondering...if you could direct the Bam Thwok video, what would it look like?


The video I get in my head when I listen is that I could see the band playing on a stage in front of a brick wall. Then the band would be animated into '70's type superhero animation. It would be edited between clips from the band preforming and this interglatic trip superimposed over it. The animation would follow the story line of the book Kim based the song on. There would be lots of funky but friendly alien types too. My favorite part would be all all of them dancing around and a heart surrounded by daisys for the line "I love the universe."

What video plays in your head when you listen to Bam Thwok?

Weird...I was thinking the exact same thing.

1. I am a fsh with no i's.
2. You must be wearing Zubaz, 'cause you're daring to be different.
3. I am a man with 3 fingers...but that doesn't count my index finger nor my thumb.

Maybe we are being brainwashed by the Cult of Bam Thwok. Total mind control dude.

Hee...hee.

Or howza bout the PIXES hangin upside down in the center of a bumper-car rink playing the song, but the camera is upside down too so they appear right side up while the bumper car riders drive and crash around them upside down.

I would make a "Le Voyage Dans la Lune" parody with the band travelling to the moon and back. Damn it!!! I thought Smashing Pumpkins did this before.

Lets hope they dont make a video. The only decent video the Pixies ever made was for Head On (although I did like the Alec Eiffel video a bit). If the Pixies do by some unbelievable chance make a video sometime in the future (I mean, if they put out through some miracle a new album) maybe they could Spike Jonez to direct, since he did direct the Breeders video for Cannonball. Hmmm, direct Big Budget Oscar Nominated Hollywood Movies or direct the Pixies video? Tough decision

Maybe they could go to an old abandoned quarry and.... darn

In that case my vote goes for Transmarine's bumper cars, what an awesome, awesome idea, the thought of this mass of chaos above the bands head...

Or howza bout the video being of them playing live on-stage...and instead of their physical bodies, they are shadows...and the shadows being cast onto the stage by the rig lighting are actually flat images of their physical bodies?
