When I got an email today from those bad boys at Tee Pee Records telling me that The Shrine have just released a video for their track ‘Tripping Corpse’ and then warning me that it contains the following:
- Weed
- Doing lines off of Coven’s Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls LP
- Skateboards
- Huffing paint
- Shirtlessness
- Whiskey by the bottle
- Untying leather bustiers
- Car batteries on the nipples
I knew just who I needed to tell about it. You, dear reader.
I think we have all been shown a valuable lesson there that shirtlessness can, if allowed to rampage unchecked, lead to fiery auto death; don’t let it happen folks. Best thing about this whole video for me? the fact that they have a sticker in their van that reads ‘What would Hüsker Dü?’. We are not worthy.
As this so deeply appeals to my inner 15 year-old, this may now be my favourite rock video ever-ish. I never thought I’d find one that came close to Red Fang for sheer adolescent-ishness, but I was so wrong:
485 Down (Still)
