It’s funny to think that once upon a time, a band not appearing in its own video was unthinkable; since Tool, though, it seems like every metal band in the world wants nothing more than to just let some director go off and film whatever without them.

But I really, really like Himsa’s video for “Big Timber,” which was directed by Jared Eberhardt; I find it incredibly amusing, and the song rocks. What does it mean? Who gives a shit? It tickles me and it’s memorable, and that’s all that matters. In fact, I hope they start to sell Himsa Sasquatch dolls real soon…
