Video: Ola Podrida "Lost and Found"

Pretty pastoral folk types are at a disadvantage when it comes to videos. Though the hushed prettiness of David Wingo's Ola Podrida can be quite compelling in a live setting, the video would end up as a bunch of beardos strummin' in place. Similarly, any attempt to somehow give the back porch sounds a visual representation would result in babbling brooks, smoldering glances, and not much else. Luckily, the video for "Lost and Found" charts the third path of completely bat shit what-the-fuckery. A pint size Wingo plays on command for a cruel Eastern European giant, who is also a super-fan. I'll leave the subsequent delights for you to discover, but I'll assure you that my one-sentence synopsis does not sufficiently encapsulate the dementia.
