I am INCREDIBLY FREAKING EXCITED.

It'll have to be cut down for length though.

YESSSSSS!

My favorite song by them. I don't see why it would do anything "Typical" couldn't chart-wise, though.

Man, they have to be one of the coolest, most innovative bands to emege in awhile. I wish more bands that existed like this could score some serious success, a la Jimmy Eat World 2001-02 or the White Stripes 02.

I absolutely love the new disc. I can't help but love the song "Typical" - finally a song alluding to life in the midwest - an Alt/Indie/Rock/Emo/Metal-whatever band finally acknowledging that something exists between of the two coasts.

They've changed it up a little bit. I was fine with this all the way until the very end, when they changed the "and I'm calling out, will you take control?" part to another "such a beautiful surrender" verse, and an awkward ending. :-\


Here's what the video will look like:

OVERVIEW:

The basic idea is for the band to perform their single “Control” while being supported, literally, by a crowd of fans.

The fans (you) will act as a kind of tamed mosh pit (don’t worry, no violence or attitude though). During the performance Mutemath’s four band members will crowd surf.

Our goal is to shoot the video in one take. The camera will start from above the crowd/ band looking down (on a jib) slowly arching over the crowd/ band.

There are several technical ques that will to be choreographed and integrated into the performance. For this reason we are shooting two days. The first shoot day, JANUARY 12 is considered a technical rehearsal shoot. It’s a chance to get the band, crew, technicians and crowd all on the same page. This will allow time to work out any problems so we can have a final shoot on JANUARY 19 (one week later). It’s VERY important that we have the same crowd on both days. We ask that if you’re planning to participate please be involved with both shoots.

Before you decide to participate please make sure you’re physically prepared to handle what is detailed in the OVERVIEW description. And please make sure you will be able to attend both shoots on JANUARY 12 and JANURAY 19

Some of you have asked if your friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, roommates, son’s, daughter’s etc. are allowed to participate…Yes. Must be 18 years old.

The version on All Access is the exact same one I got from the radio promo for my show. It must be a radio edit of the song I suppose.

I could see this being a pop/HAC crossover and doing quite well if given a shot.
