Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.


Not even jail.

Interpol's Our Love to Admire sure did come and go, didn't it? They released it, we heard it, there was a tour, and that was it. And while said disc isn't as cohesively strong as the much loved Turn on the Bright Lights, or its sleek follow-up Antics, it does have a few shining moments, and track number eight, Rest My Chemistry is one of them. Don't believe me? Peep this, via Stereogum:

"...Aaron Koblin, a visual artist/Interpol fan, put together a tech-y video for "Rest My Chemistry" with the help of his production company, Blip Boutique. He wanted to adapt the technology he uses for his art to make a kind of art piece for the song. As the production company noted:

We wanted to do something for this song that was not specifically intended for broadcast, but that was more of an art piece that would live and grow primarily online. We wanted to use a new technology using data mapping to create an abstract video..."

I rest my case.
