New Powerbrrrd Video for 'Bottle Rocket'

Posted by Steve Haruch on Mon, Jun 28, 2010 at 9:03 AM

Look! In the yard! It's a powerplaaane! It's a powersuperrrman! It's a Powerbrrrd! And they're playing a Superchunk-y song and shotgunning beers and shooting fireworks at each other and wearing White Sox T-shirts and dancing and grilling pizza. Do you ever feel like the '90s were so much better than the '00s, except that back then we didn't have embeddable Internet videos or the expression "that's how we roll"? Of course. Millions of peaches. Full disclosure: Seth Graves owes me $20 for posting this video. Just kidding, Seth! If you shot a video in your front yard this weekend and want us to take a look, email a link to cream at who-know-where.

every good video has a 'girls fighting in a pool' scene. or i guess a 'girls doing anything' scene. or i guess just girls. every good video has girls. or at least A girl.

@mammoth we're dropping the EP hopefully by August and it'll most likely be a free download.

@wh glad someone finally acknowledged the P&P homage. was beginning to worry my semi-painstaking efforts were in vain.

nice!

That's my old house, so I can assume the neighbors were pissed off that day, at least the guy across the street who drinks kerosene.

Aaron- shit! I didn't know you used to live there. I live there w/ megan now. We've heard rumors of the crazy dude across the street, but I think he either died or skipped town, because we haven't heard a peep from that old white mini-church since January when we moved in.

hah he blew up his chimney one night when we were standing on the porch. A giant fire ball just shot out of the side of the church and my roommate ran over there expecting to find him on fire or something but apparently he was stoking up his fire by putting a whole half gallon of gasoline into the stove and closed it...which then exploded. He was quite the character, but you are lucky his is gone. But yeah that was/is a cool house. Awesome video too.
