The aliens are your files and there are consequences for âkillingâ them."Unfurl
NotesI was seriously worried this video would crash the visual centers of my brain. "NORMAL QUALITY LOOKS LIKE BUNK. clink on "WATCH IN HD" to WATCH IN HD!!! HD stands for "HOLY DATAMOSH," which is what G-D bestowed upon us in the form of a MASSIVE COMPUTER GLITCH that eats up INDIE MUSIC VIDEOS and turns them into INTERNET GOLD."Unfurl
Notes"We figured it was almost like giving music to the Army, or Exxon" I'd be *more* likely to listen to a band after I heard they turned down Hummer.Unfurl
