The Microphones - I Hope You Wish You'd Die

Concept? What concept? My second attempt ever at a music video. Made for my New Media class at NSU as part of my final semester in graphic design. Great track from a great band I wish more people knew about. All video shot and edited by myself.

I just went down to Houma the other day; is that the big cemetery on Hwy. 24?

I saw Mt. Eerie + Thanksgiving at Tulane in Dec. '06, by the way... great show. There were Xmas lights strung up all over the stage.

[themilstead]

@ibelieveicansoar It's the cemetery connected to St. Francis cathedral near downtown. But I know which one you're referring to. Mount Eerie came to Tulane and I missed it?! D'awwww. I'm so jealous of you.

I consider myself somewhat of an aficionado of this band - yes, aficionado I am that far up my tuckus - but have not heard this song before. Thanks.

Also, sweet video. Where was it shot? Out on limb, but some of the shots reminded me of Boston.

@k386 Opposite side of the country. :)

Houma, LA

Also, this song was released on the second disc of the deluxe version of The Glow, Pt. 2.

Looks pretty good, but isn't the whole psychosis and suicide thing trite if you're not actually suicidal or psychotic?

[themilstead]

@NightOfTha44 That is correct. If you knew me, you'd see the irony, haha.

[Labyrinthine86]

man, this is really fantastic.

[SteeLotus]

wow, i was just lurking youtube, looking for music i might like, not expecting anything good. not only did i find this amazing band, but this video is fucking fantastic. high five.

[MsXjoleneX]

Does anyone have tabs for this song?

[thelivingmanpart2]

wow! great fucking video

fucking blew my mind xD

[k386]

@themilstead Hah! Well, it was a limb, and precarious at that. Seeing as it was based on maybe 30s on street scene.

And I haven't checked out the deluxe edition, just rummaging through my singles and couldn't find it.

Cheers!
