I’ve been focusing too much love on one band. So it’s time to start spreading it.
When I was a wee lad, I caught a few glimpses of Excalibur on cable and instantly became obsessed with the medieval times and knighthood. I was a knight for Halloween. I recorded myself fighting with myself onto audio cassette. I included sword clanging and swinging sound effects that I made with my own mouth. I, of course, used a British accent when speaking.
When two of my favorite bands decide to go medieval in their videos, I can’t help but joyously scream like I did the first time I went to the Medieval Times dinner and tournament experience in Buena Park. Built To Spill and Pinback already get my respect for putting out tons of brilliant material. They’ve become lifetime members in my pantheon of bands after making these videos. Sword play and rock go so well together. Speaking of swords, we can’t forget the D.
