Video: Father John Misty – “Date Night” Directed by Chad VanGaalen. From God’s Favorite Customer, out now on Sub Pop.

Video: Father John Misty – “Please Don’t Die” Directed by Chris Hopewell. From God’s Favorite Customer, out today on Sub Pop.

One more cryptic message thinking that I might end it … Continue reading New Father John Misty video: Please Don’t Die
Video: Father John Misty – “Mr. Tillman” From God’s Favorite Customer, out June 1 on Sub Pop.

Video: Father John Misty – “Leaving LA” From Pure Comedy, out now on Sub Pop. I know I know I know, a thirteen-minute hymn to your own hyper-awareness (a “10 verse chorus-less diatribe”) is self-indulgent horseshit. It’s impossible to argue with that.

YouTube: Father John Misty – “This Is America” I don’t watch whatever show this video is promoting, but the song is kinda funny. Let’s hope Josh Tillman gets back to work on the third FJM LP. He gave us more of a hint of what that might actually sound like (maybe?) when he released “Real … Continue reading Dumb new Father John Misty ditty: This Is America
