You know what? I was pretty stoked to hear that Extreme were getting back together, and then I never even sought out their reunion album, Saudades de Rock. Why? I have no clue. We even ran a positive review of the damn thing, and I still didn’t listen to the record. But I can’t for the life of me remember what my thought process was behind that decision. Huh.

Well, Noisecreep have now debuted the band’s new video, for “King of the Ladies,” and suddenly I kinda wanna hear the album. The song is catchy but silly, and certainly better than anything from Van Halen III, or that Rihanna has ever recorded. But the clip… I guess I’d describe it as “charming.” It was clearly made by dudes who are, um, of a certain era, let’s say, but I can get behind that. I think if I was twelve years old, this would probably be my favorite video of the year.
