 This video is definitely amazing and hilarious.  It's put together by
HBO's hosts of the "Mr. Show" program.  Bob and Dave are the main actors
in the rock n' roll training school saying funny shit like "don't you
want to learn to bow a guitar like Beck?"

As far as the album this track comes off of, it's excellent.  Some really
delicate songs with beautiful melodies.  While we're totally off the IDM
topic, check out the new Flaming Lips album, "The Soft Bulletin" if
you're a fan of this sort of lush type of rock.
