Video: Cut Copy, “Blink and You’ll Miss a Revolution”

September 14, 2011


When Cut Copy sing Have you heard the latest re-invention in the street and then the ape opens the suitcase and it's actually just the band's faces all in a row (gross), we have to wonder: is this commentary on evolution? Like, are humans just a re-invention of monkeys? THAT IS SO DEEP. No just kidding it is a pretty basic idea, but this video has a Planet of the Apes theme for a reason, right? Is it because James Franco is in a movie about a monkey that learns to love and run across roofs and throws something at a helicopter and also yells some words? (We haven't seen it yet, but from what we heard, that is what happens), or is it just awesome to see some dudes in costumes use human hands like extensions of the instruments they play? It's pretty fun to watch but also this video is a nightmare that we will very likely have sometime in the next couple nights. Cut Copy are still on tour—relentlessly, endlessly.
