The Poverty Jet Set

I’ve been waiting for this for what seems like a long time! I finished making this video for The War on Drugs single “Needle in Your Eye #16” a few weeks ago, and let their label (Secretly Canadian) take it around the internet on their own PR schedule before I uploaded it. But I’ve been DYING to share it with you!

The video is made entirely of clips from the Prelinger Archive of Moving Images at the fantastic resource, archive.org. So thanks to them for providing such an amazing service, and such great quality Public Domain films. Long live remix culture!

Don’t forget, you should really buy this album, Wagonwheel Blues. It’s fantastic, gorgeous, entrancing. My friend Adam is a gifted songwriter and I promise it will provide an amazing soundtrack to the rest of your summer.

My friend Adam has a band called The War on Drugs. If you’re into psychedelic/country/shoegaze (whoa, that’s a description if I ever saw one), or bands like Panda Bear et al, head over to Ye Olde Pitchfork where you can download his EP for free. His new album, Wagonwheel Blues, is coming out in just a few weeks on Secretly Canadian, so stay tuned.

We’re going to see them play at the Khyber tonight in Philly. I’ll probably post some video on yvynyl live.

By the way, if you like music, I’ve been posting like crazyman over on my Tumblr site, yvynyl.tumblr.com, all music all the time. Check it.
