The video for the Streets’ “Heaven For The Weather” owes obvious debts to Paul Thomas Anderson’s Magnolia—Skinner stars as a motivational speaker shilling a book at a conference. I’m not sure how the song ties in, except for the fact that the album it’s from, as a whole, finds Skinner happier and more fulfilled than he has ever been.
“Heaven For The Weather” is from Everything is Borrowed, which is out now via 679/Vice. [Stereogum]
