NEW VIDEO FROM YEASAYER: MADDER RED (STARRING KRISTEN BELL)
After watching Yeasayers new video for “Madder Red” directed by Andras Nilsson and starring the incredibly adorable Kristen Bell of Veronica Mars/Party Down, I’ve almost forgiven Bell for being the voice of Gossip Girl. Watching her play opposite a amorphous bleeding oozing, one eyed ball of flesh whom is suffering, is infinitely less painful than […]
