The past year has been a pretty big one for Tennessee native Matt Mahaffey and his longtime indie-pop outfit Self: Self issued its first new release in many years, the Super Fake Nice EP;
they played a couple of tunes on Kimmel; they released
a pretty magnificent cat-centric music video; Mahaffey's old pal and collaborator Beck won the Album of the Year Grammy for Morning Phase, a record that Mahaffey played some organ on. Matt even stopped by Scene HQ to play an installment of our Live in the Morgue series (
watch it again!).
The big moves continue! Today Self unveiled the video for the Super Fake Nice track "Looks and Money" via Funny or Die, and you can watch it above. Starring the uproarious Mary Lynn Rajskub (24, Mr. Show) and directed by the legendary Dave Foley (Kids in the Hall, News Radio), "Looks and Money" follows a little Internet weirdo named Dickie (Rajskub) as she dances for a seemingly well-moneyed creep (Foley). Mahaffey himself doesn't make an appearance in the video, but it's just as well — the true star here is Rajskub's strangely lascivious dance moves. Give the video a look, and if you find yourself tickled, give it the old "Funny" upvote on FOD.
