Lol @ 1:17 hehe....

Me and my 12 year old sister love the Mentals, and watched Monumental (my mum's VHS) over and over again.....

So awesome that they released their videoclips with the Essential As Anything cd...

Saw them perform live a few months ago, great to go and see :-)

The clips were a big part of their success - pretty amazing!
