Douglas Armour’s new and baffling Daft Punk-produced video
July 2nd, 2009 by Leilani Polk in Video
So, I got this email about this “spellbinding” (PR agent’s words, not mine) Daft Punk-produced video for Douglas Armour’s song, “Flushed & Flamelike, Themselves.” While the video looks real good, there’s not much to it. In sum, a crazy-eyed dude runs through the forest, stopping to do some slow-mo thrashing of his long stringy hair against various particularly breathtaking (and likely digitally-produced) backdrops (still shot at right). After watching the video, I thought the postscript to the e-mail was particularly funny: “PS: I’m accepting submissions to my unofficial video caption contest. Current front-runner: ‘This is why no one invites Andrew WK to go camping any more.’” Check it out after the jump and tell me if you are as baffled by it as I.

“Can’t live without you” refers to his hair. Also, with all that head shaking, he has probably suffer a inner contusion to his brain. He didn’t even tie his shoes as he ran through the woods with is pants starting to fall off, after he lost his shirt. Hmmm? Maybe he signed up to be a Marine and is now regretting his decision.
