Posted by KELLY O at 12:35 PM

How many Capitol Hillbillies can you name in this video?

Aww, that's kinda sweet. Marcus L., Jason L., Thomas, Curtis, Amy D., Aja? And I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this video was made by Mike Krosen, a very kind-hearted and talented kid. Go Mike!

Let's see...

That one guy with a beard, that other guy with the sleeve tattoo, the guy who bartends at the War Room, dude who used to work at Lindas, guy from the Charming snakes, that chick I always see wasted at 4 a.m., that other girl who's always dressed pretty stylish...

And a few others I can't figure out.

What a MF boring video. Ugh.

Right? Isn't it the most boring video ever? Ben looks so dumb in the back of the truck, lip synching horribly. I do love Rob Hampton's head scarf, though, and it is fun playing Spot-the-Hipster, but for anyone who doesn't live on Capitol Hill it's gotta be a big fat yawn.

This video was not directed by Mike Kroesen. I was there but it was directed by Whitey of Whitey Films. A link to his more of his cool videos is http://www.whiteyfilms.com/

it should be noted that this video idea came from the pickup softball game that takes place every sunday. the majority of the folks on the field (including the boys of BOH) are regular weekly players that just so happen to be in bands, work at bars, and promote shows.

hipsters? perhaps. but it's a real nice community of good-hearted folks and the two day shoot was nothing but solid gold fun. barbecue, softball, cold high life, and sun? nice.

most music videos suck, keenan. don't hate the player, hate the game.

All I know is diving for a pop fly with a lit cigarette in your mouth is some ESPN highlight shit.
