Drag City just unveiled the new video for Bonnie “Prince” Billy’s “How About Thank You“, culled from the companion 10″ from one of my favorite LPs of the year, Beware. As with most things Will Oldham related, it’s ‘unique’. ++ New, better, video courtesy of our friends at MBV.

Awesome video. Reminded me of Semisonic’s video for “Closing Time” and then good ol’ Dire Straits’s “Money For Nothing.” I also, can’t imagine how hard it would be to Dance Dance Revolution to a BPB song.
