WHAT?!
I was watching this really awful (I mean REALLY awful) movie today called Loveless in Los Angeles – don’t ask me why – and during a montage scene where a friend of the main character tries to reform him, a song plays that a lot of you minneapolines (and not-minneapolines too, if you’ve ever seen some of the work we do at SES every year) may recognize. You have to wait for it. The part you’re looking for is maybe two-thirds through the trailer (I guess you have to go to the IMDB version, not the YouTube version, because it has a different song?!?!).
WHAT?!? Since WHEN do The Idle Hands get their singles in really awful – again, TERRIBLY AWFUL – movies on the major television network Comedy Central?!? WHAAAAT? And they’re not even credited on the IMDB site for the movie (or has IMDB never credited bands, I can’t remember. Either way, I am shocked.)!
My mind just blew.
For some background, here is the video we made for them, The Idle Hands a few years back, on a 102 degree day, and no one even died, that’s how good it was. Edit: It is nowhere online! WHAT?!? Could someone who has it, upload it please? I think we need it. For background.

That looks… atrocious. And the Idle Hands don’t make it any better.
But, you know, that song does seem to fit in a romantic comedy preview. Almost too well….

I KNOW. That was exactly it. I was like “I think I know this song… HOLY CRAP!” It’s eerie.

Oh GOD. You watched that?! There’s.. it’s.. it looks so TERRIBLE.
But yes, that is tots crazy. And I think they would be credited under the “soundtrack” listing in IMDB, but that section for the movie hasn’t been updated. Hmmhmmm, Loveless in LA. Hmm hmmmm. You are no Sleepless in Seattle.

Yeah, a friend of mine (Johnny, from the rather excellent Communist Daughter, late of Friends Like These) just told me this trailer was all over Comedy Central. I needs me an ASCAP check, stat.
And the fact that no one died on that video shoot was a minor miracle. We roasted our pasty hungover selves half to death with Bill and the kids.
Also, Ben: in your hairy ass son.
