The video is what I'm talking about, mind you. He's had some rubbish videos in recent years, maybe because he doesn't regard the music video as much of an art form. He's said as much in many interviews. He thinks it's too subservient to the needs of the music (time constraints and all that) - though of course he loves film. And presumably film/music projects like Björk or Sigur Rós have done, where it's all of a piece, though I haven't heard him comment on that sort of thing per se.
The song is nice too though, I quite like it. It was a "B" side from a couple years ago that he was fond of playing live... It's the slightly edgier Moz sound (you can tell he lived a decade in Los Angeles), which is nice to hear now and then. I know I nearly always lean toward the weepy ones... What can I say but "save me..."

For some reason, the video reminded me of L.A. which I don't like being reminded of. L.A.was nice in the 40's.
It was filmed in L.A.!
Good catch. And I agree about the city...
Thanks for all the comments - very appreciated even though I know we have different tastes in music and lots of things. Just nice to hear from ya.
Also, good some for someone in his 50s... managed to stay relevant to youthful audiences as well as has-beens like me.
I know that's still quite young to you though, Bill. Maybe you're a maia or vala though, destined to live forever or until the stars all burn out and heavens rip themselves apart...
Hope you have lots of good books ready!
