While not the greatest music video I've seen, it is my favourite song from Nada Surf's album The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy. Here is the newly release Nada Surf clip for "Jules And Jim".
I notice a 'menage a toi' theme going on here. I'm into sharing!
Youtube clip notes:
The music video for the song Jules and Jim was filmed over the span of several months on location in Arch Cape, Oregon and inside a historic house in Providence, Rhode Island. It gently alludes to the classic French New Wave film of the same name. The video brings you into the dreamlike world of three characters who are both intertwined and isolated and into three different worlds which are also intertwined and yet isolated. The different perspectives of both the three characters and the three worlds seek to evoke the ever changing feelings and roller coaster ride that comes from being a rational being crazy in love - desire, jealousy, security, ecstasy, sadness, beauty and the like, and yet to be able to see clearly outside ones own feelings. The sets are either actual outdoor settings or were composed from organic materials and found objects. The characters were made from found objects, wire, and Sculpey.
The film was directed, animated and edited by Rachel Chaiya Blumberg. This is her second music video. In addition to film making she is also a painter and a musician.

Nada Surf's front man Matthew Caws got in the spirit for Halloween.

Hard-core Nada fans (myself included) quickly picked up on the reference to a line on their song In The Mirror from their album The Weight Is A Gift

It's hard enough to believe that Nada Surf has been making great music for nearly 20 years now. But with the vigor and vitality of its new album, The Stars Are Indifferent to Astronomy, Nada Surf almost sounds like a new band of twentysomethings who still think the world belongs to them — and maybe it still does. Matthew Caws (guitar, vocals), Ira Elliot (drums, backup vocals) and Daniel Lorca (bass, backup vocals) create music you want to live with... or to.
The group recently performed a set live on KEXP from The Triple Door as part of our VIP Club Concert series. With Guided by Voices' Doug Gillard joining the band on guitar, Nada Surf performed a lengthy set of songs from the new album, with a few classics thrown in for good measure.
Hosted by Cheryl Waters; engineered by Jake McLaughlin; camerawork by Jim Beckmann, Scott Holpainen, Christopher Meister, and Justin Wilmore; editing by Scott Holpainen

Watch this. It's powerful and was worth departing from our usual format for. The world needs to learn from this. #sun7 http://j.mp/o3p7ax
- Thanks @sunriseon7 for showing this. Bullying has no place in this world and it's getting out of hand. bit.ly/nMpUMf Jamey's story is bloody aweful and distressing.
Tragic death: Jamey Rodemeyer, 14, had blogged about being suicidal after classmates incessantly taunted him for being gay
Change of mood now, let's talk turkey. After attending the premiere of the Tasmanian filmed "The Hunter", the #politas crew turn up for work this morning...
Angus Livingston
Everyone I know is already following @swegen31, but if you aren't, Parliament Rhyming Thursday is a great day to start #politas
- For this once only, here are Alex's PRT in one block. I think I caught them all.
A night at the movies has the house feeling jolly, but the bells mean it's time for hard wood not holly
Just minutes away from the question time show, how different would life be under Premier Dafoe?
A question from Willy on legal advice, he says a briefing just will not suffice
The Premier's prepared for questions of law, on permits & payouts from parliament's floor
Despite money flowing from the generous feds, Wills a bit worried bout hospital beds
The EPA's ruling has Booth seeing green, come on attorney - please intervene!
But the Premier says Brian's not going to court, the pulp mill stoush, elsewhere will be fought
The red carpet revealed who the Premier's dating but she's more concerned with a strong credit rating
The carpet is one thing, the Premier said, but I won't let this great state go back in the red
Next on his feet, the farmer from Sassy, too many parsnips can make a man gassy
I'm sorry says Basil, there's no silver lining, when our flora and fauna is ravaged by mining
Deputy Green says not all mining's bad, but the plight of the devil makes Basil feel sad
A dorothy dix from backbencher White, leads to an answer on the work safety fight
Minister O'Byrne sure does feel strongly, about those in the workplace treated so wrongly
Up pops Archer, shadowing police, but the answer unfolding's not pleasing Elise
A question from Matthew, the member for Groom, taxing the carbon will bring on the doom
The Premier says Groomy shouldn't be grieving, deep down he knows he's really believing
The gallery's attention is slipping away, suck it up kids - you're not here every day!
A question from Morris allows Wightman to shout, but buggered if I know what it's about
Sorry fans, I'm getting all sloppy, the question from Timbo was on the poppy
Here's the great Fergy, Michael not Sarah, when it comes to our schools, he's the flag bearer
Ferguson's question allows Nicko to talk, but I'm still dreaming of the duchess of york
Ladies & gentleman, the sensational Shelts!, leaving the government with politcal welts
Last night's soiree had razzle & dazzle, but nothing compares to a question from Basil
As fun as it's been, by gosh & by golly, I couldn't be more pleased to hear time called by Polley

That #MrSaxoBeat song is on TV. Why do I keep raising my eyebrows up&down in time to the man singing 'oh yeah, mmm yeah'? #feellikeasexpest
allen collen
@MarkCavendish mate I had to ditch it as my ring tone as the kids thought it #toogay
Brian J. Smith
It's kinda weird being on a show where you actually wear makeup. In Sci-fi they paint on a bruise and tell you to go get sweaty.
Dwaine Scott

All Ords up 63pts. Aussie & NZ dollars march higher with stocks; Forestry Tasmania posts $12m loss. AUD up to $US1.06
