VIDEO: Sky Juice - "Hard to Kill"

"Marked for Death"

Another mind-bendingly awesome visual masterpiece from video artist Todd Ledford, the dude behind Olde English Spelling Bee, for "Hard to Kill" by Sky Juice, the solo project of Lambsbread's Zac Davis. (Watch Zac Davis and James Ferraro performing at DBA on November 5, 2009.)

The video, Ledford's best yet, contains excerpts from the 1983 film Nightmares starring a pre-Repo Man (and pre-pubic hair) Emilio Estevez as J.J. Cooney, 8-bit arcade wiz kid whose night takes a nightmarish (haa) turn for the worse when the Bishop of Battle (the scary green grid-faced dude you see here) exits screen and enters reality. Spliced with those gems is old 70's anti-drug animation, which works fucking perfectly. I got home late last night only to find a delightful sneak peak of this baby waiting for me to curl up with in my bed. Though watching this thing right before zonking out hard was arguably a mistake, the dreams that ensue are worth it. And as Todd put it,

PLAY THIS SUCKER LOUD!!!!
