Beach House – Wishes (Directed by Eric Wareheim of Tim & Eric’s Awesome Show)
Check out this interesting music video for Wishes by Beach House. It was directed by Eric Wareheim of Tim and Eric’s Awesome Show and features Ray Wise of Twin Peaks, Reaper and a numbe rof other awesome things. I love stuff like this. Most songs nowadays get a sterotypical kind of approach to how their videos are made. It borders on parody. I love taking chances and getting creative and not being afraid to be a bit random. All that is here and it has made me want to listen to more Beach House.
