Lou Barlow: "Take Advantage" (Video)

5:02 p.m. · September 4, 2009 · by Matthew Fiander

Lou Barlow's latest in a line of promo videos for his upcoming record, Goodnight Unknown, doesn't have a praying mantis in it like the last one, unfortunately. But instead, "Take Advantage" has Barlow wandering around his house, rousing people into playing along with him on a pretty sweet tune. I mean, I don't know what "you love me like a pancake" means any more than you do, but Barlow's always been good with these heartworn lullabies. And this one falls nicely line with the likes of "Willing to Wait" and "Home." And, if the videos available so far on LooTube weren't cool enough, there are four more on their way. One will be released each week until the album comes out next month. Sounds like a good way to pass the time in September to me.

Goodnight Unknown is out Oct. 6 on Merge. You can preorder it here.
