Despite being partly about a piss-filled "Plastic Cup," the video for slowcore wonders Low's song makes for a glamorous, if sardonic, couple of minutes.
The black and white video features the band dolled-up like old-time movie stars, standing beneath a cloud of diamond-shimmer confetti. While guitarist/vocalist Alan Sparhawk sings lines about relying on the kindness of friends and parents, his nervous tick-head bobbles and sarcastic grin suggest you might not want to take too much stock in his words. Either that, or he's just a little distracted due to the nearby presence of some powerful cloaked ghouls.

"Plastic Cup" comes from the band's stellar, Jeff Tweedy-produced The Invisible Way.
