Askme: What's the name of that one Supergrass Video I'm looking for the Supergrass (I think it was Supergrass) video where they're in a studio and everything turned into yarn. I've tried scouring youtube, but apparently not hard enough.

You know, I was once the hugest Supergrass fan. Then, after seeing them live for the second time several years ago, I was standing at the bar upstairs at 9:30 (in DC) waiting for some of the crush below to abate, when the band hustled by, Gaz in front. He looked at me. I said, "Thanks, great music!" and he looked away in a fit of rock-star-being-too-cool-for-his-fans-ness, which cue the rest of the band followed, down the stairs to their limo and off of my playlist forever. If they were huge, huge in the USA, they might get away with that, but they were touring their second flop here and came off as punk bitches to this keen listener.

I don't put their music on anymore. It makes me think about that night.

Though I guess this thread isn't really about Supergrass, tee hee.
