Need help with some bits and pieces; a lot of the lines come from the movie Polyester by John Waters, but something is being said about violins, just before they start playing; can't quite hear the exact line, but I could swear it's John Travolta's voice; anyone know what movie this line comes from?
Finally!! I remember I was in Australia at the time when the album was released. I saw this video on some music channel, asked my uncle to drive me to a music store and bought the CD - been loving The Avalanches ever since!!
Much cooler than the ridiculous one with the stage full of cheesy extras - lame. Can't really appreciate it at this resolution. At the time the ink blot effects seemed really cool....
Wow, this is horribly quality. Nonetheless, it's great to see the original video. I have to say I like the newer one better, but I have to agree with amoswellings that this video has a much, darker feel, and really lends itself more to a cohesive narrative. Really, the song is great, and both videos are fitting for different reasons.
This video is much darker than the 2nd version made, but I think it suits it more. I distinctly remember watching this on Rage years back, and it definitely creeped me out.
Well it's in sync -- it just doesn't follow the beat ALL the time like every other music vid, which isn't a bad thing.
Also, boo to "let's see you do better" arguments. If art like this music video is made for the audience (you and me) then anyone can critique it how they like.
this is the original version of the clip.. it is way better but normally the quality isn't anywhere near as shitty as this. this clip is just insane. the other one is more... irrelevant
Nice video. I just saw this on tv not so long ago (on the Australian music program Rage). Pretty good, but pity that there isn't a higher quality, otherwise I'd add that to my favorites.
much prefer this one- the direction suits the mood of the song far more I think. also how surprised was I when I was watching Polyester and that first quote came up!
Seriously? Because I said I thought the video was boring? I LIKE the song. God FORBID someone say something you disagree with. Oh no I SAID THE VIDEO WAS BORING IM SUCH A TERRIBLE PERSON OH MY GOD!!! Grow up dude.
i like the other version as well, saw it 4-5 years ago in a discoteque in stockholm...i was completely drunk and i laughed for like all day long then...amazing video it was.
in contrast, i beleive this is the origional. it makes sense with the song, alot more than the other video that people think is the one and only Frontier Psychiatrist video. very very very good in my opinion, 5/5.
Have to clarify for everyone - this IS the first video for Frontier Psychiatrist. The Avalanches were on a tiny label in 2000: tiny labels in Australia do not have any money. A lot of early videos for young bands look like this. The obvious move is for the major overseas labels to say "This cheap piece of rubbish won't work on our music TV" and they pay for a remake. I agree - the UK version of the video is far superior. But this piece of crap is the original video and just as I remember it.
i can tell this isnt the original. but, if this wasnt blurry i would like it more. Unlike the real one, this actually has a POINT. the other one is so random
