Little Feat "Waiting for Columbus" music videos
A series of music videos commemorating Rhino Entertainment’s release of a 45th anniversary box set edition of the classic live album Waiting for Columbus by Little Feat. With little more than Neon Park’s album art and a few period photos to work from, I cut them up with stock and public-domain imagery into one surreal collage world, a nod to Park, the band’s “cartoon consciousness” and Terry Gilliam’s Monty Python animations. Strung together, the three play as one long, loose story with a flying eyeball keeping watch.
Fat Man in the Bathtub
The opener begins the way the album does, with an introduction, then sends a vintage Chevy down a street of dancing cowbells. A grungy bathtub fills with surreal objects, an underground dig winds through intestinal cables, and a bowler hat runs loose under cheese and tomato trees.
Spanish Moon
Night falls on the second chapter. A ghost band backs a chanteuse in a dive bar full of hookers and shady characters, whiskey and cocaine. It's an epic jam, so the eye candy keeps coming.
Willin'
The finale hits the road. A big rig hauls through desert, rainstorm and snow under Lowell George's giant face, past postcards from the towns he sings about, and the band's names roll at the end like closing credits.
