Wolf like Me video
Sep 13 2006I know I’ve been overdosing on the YouTube videos of late, but TV on the Radio have released the video for one of my favourite tracks this year - “Wolf Like Me”. It is one of those songs that evokes such rich imagery that when the video comes around, there’s a good chance it can disappoint.
Not this time, director Jon Watts has chosen to place the song in a largely monochrome 80’s B-movie a lot like some of the bad films I’ve been watching lately. The special effects are deliberately bad and the costumes are dodgy. The whole thing is somewhere between Cool as Ice, Thriller and Michel Gondry’s “Everlong” video for the Foo Fighters. I like.
Incidentally, TV on the Radio are playing TBMC on the 7th of November as part of a small UK & Ireland tour. Really looking forward to it and it’s the night after the CSS show in Whelans!

Having lived in Canada for a year I love that reference to the Canadian Gilrs at the beginning, hahaha indeed! I have had this track on mega rotation in the past week or so and can’t wait for the TMBC gig just to hear Wolf Like Me live…..roll on Gig Season.

1I think this video tries way too hard. However, I saw this commercial that uses Wolf Like Me as sountrack music and I think it works really well like that.

4I first heard this song about a week and a half ago at a PUMA store and loved it. But I was very sad because I didn’t know who it was… I was listening to Ethel Radio on XM like 2 days ago and BOOM the song comes on. I was so happy. It’s fate!
