I'd rather watch a quality band like Idlewild go bowling than 99.9% of the crappy videos on MTV or whatever...heck, watching them do their washing would be more exciting!
@henricussecundus1154 music today is not only dead, its been hit over the head and flushed down the toilet. just turn on a brittish radio and all you will get it 100% pure crap.
but then ime guesing most of you are American so this wont matter :P
@Amomentofstillness great music dose not exist on english radio i have to liten to american stations over the internet, whitch is all well and good till i loose my conection :<
I always thought that they were sort of poking fun at the fact that they're such a cerebral band. The fact that the song is called "I'm A Message" and the video seems to be about nothing... OR IS IT? Also, is this the video directed by Wim Wenders?
Yep, they are awesome live. The best gig ive ever been to was an idlewild gig and i have been to a fair few gigs in my time. Im seeing them later this month in london, cant wait either! :D Weird video, guess it was cheap though. :P
this was my first favourite idlewild song...still one of their best

@ivorbigun20 It's always been like that. Stop listening to the wrong radio stations and you will find plenty of great music elsewhere

What an odd video. The band... bowling. And that might be the first time I've ever seen a hoodie sweatshirt tucked in.
