Originally thought this video was kind of silly/dull upon first viewing many moons ago, but I have decided I am kind of enamoured of it now. Plus, the first and last shots are awesome, which is something to fall in love with I'm quite sure.
Plus, ITS KRAZZZYYYYY!!!!!
I just found out about this tonight!!! BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!! [I am posting this for audio mostly, but the video is sort of appealing... surreal.] The original version of the song has a pretty psychotic viddddeeeeoooooo too, so well done Chris Cornell for being a part of that, I guess, even if its sort of dated now. (Very dated.)
This is not a video at all but I decided to stick with youtube. Enjoy the picture of the album cover.
This is a song from an early moment of internal psychosis: high school, one April, drinking soft liquor in Marcus's basement, sinking into an old rocking armchair, watching Most Haunted (...) or videos on MuchMusic (if I had my way... OH PERRRRFECT, I have remembered something about a related psychosis moment which was shared by a number of my friends and I haven't related to anyone for quite some time. I will add it as an exciting bonus that I did not expect or think to include in this selection of videos.)
Oh, 70's tweed couches! Oh, dark April! Oh, Katey on the treadmill with a beer in hand! Oh, that shelf of boardgames, cardboard boxes all breaking! Oh, that time we watched the Lion King and it was freezing 'cause that fireplace is only ornamental! I fell asleep on the floor!
So, this particular time I played that Russian Futurists song, we actually watched some videos on MuchMusic after, but drunk, were all alarmed and confused and deeply impressed by what we saw:
Turn it uppppppp.
My week has been rather uneventful.
I'll probably do something psychotic this weekend though, so I'll have to try not to be so self-conscious about the psychosis and just let it reveal itself.
A visual metaphor for the psychosis: animated, yellow eyes lurking in the darkness beyond a clearing in some Looney Tunes forest. Maybe this occurs in Snow White too. What else. OH YEAH, the scary wolf creature lurking in The Neverending Story movie. That's actually a little more alarming; quite frightening. (Great piece of work, incidentally.) I wonder if The Neverending Story's "The Nothing" is worth exploring in terms of some greater metaphor for psychosis and perception of daily life? Probably. I'll get on that.

by far the best part about the psychosis blog is the fact that i can literally hear you scream every word, and that makes it so much more funny. i can also tell exactly when you are raising your arms at right angles, palms open, and turning your head to the side with mouth agape.
KKRRAAAZZYYY!!!
