HCL vid to Devotchka

[verushka70]

I'm not one to rec vids or stuff very often, but this seems to have been overlooked (only 373 views??). I thought it was pretty good in terms of the editing and the choice of music. It has a haunting, heartbreaking tone very well suited to HCL and Joe/Billy, although it's not exclusively Joe/Billy.

I got to see Devotchka live in Chicago at a very small club -- they opened for Lhasa, actually. One of their instruments was a Theremin! During their break, when my sister and I went up to ask them, "Hey, is that a Theremin?", the Theremin player asked us if we wanted to play it, which I thought was incredibly generous of a band member to two complete strangers. Devotchka's music was very haunting.

Thanks for the rec. I had seen the vid, but it's nice to watch things more than once.
