I’m not sure what the impetus is behind this, whether it’s mental illness or narcotics, but someone has been “honoring” my one-day-a-year band, The Monkey Power Trio, by creating disturbing little videos. Here are two of the seven videos various members of the band have received to date. The first features features our 1996 song “We Are Smart“, off the record The Sound of No Hands Clapping, which, coincidentally, was recently ripped off by The Handsome Family for True Detective. The second features our 2000 hit “Planet of the Apes is Real“, off the record Flying Through Glass. If you have any idea what any of this means, please let me know.

If I had to guess, I’d say it’s the work of the former Ypsilanti Slide Pooper. This, I imagine, is what the cops have him doing to keep him from shitting on and making love to our local play structures.
Something about the ape smoking at the end of the video is compelling.
Today’s episode: “Patti Discovers A New Fetish”
The original Planet of the Apes is coming back to the big screen this summer. My guess is that this is part of their viral promotion campaign.
