The Cribs – “Glitters Like Gold”

The Cribs new reference-heavy video for “Glitters Like Gold” may indeed exhibit VHS-like production qualities on the surface, but what’s kind of novel about the video is that the Pop-Up Video insets that they co-opt link out to other clips. The pop-up graphic about Ryan liking bowling links out to a video of someone (presumably Ryan) bowling for two hours. The one about Ross liking sandwiches without crusts links out to a video of Ross making a sandwich and cutting off the crust. And, so forth. Andy Knowles and Stephen Agnew direct.
