I've been struggling to find a way to describe the video of the "club mix" of "He's Frank (Washing Up)." Iggy Pop has always been impossible to stop looking at, but never has the experience of looking at him been this trippy. Simultaneously, Norman Cook's music videos have always been awesome, but never for the same reasons as this. Doesn't it seem to make perfect sense somehow that the best, most surreal music video of early 2009 is basically just a shirtless Iggy Pop making weird faces and humming to a B.P.A. remix for 8 minutes?
If you're still bitter for having to go back to real life after a couple of drunken weeks of holidays/New Year's, this may be exactly the medicine you need. And that medicine is Ecstasy without the drug. What. The. Fuck.
This is a remix of a more standard version of "He's Frank (Washing Up)," which Iggy Pop collaborated with the BPA (née Fatboy Slim) on the upcoming album I Think We're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat. That album hits stores on Feburary 3. It can't all be this crazy, right?
