Kid Koala – “5 Bit Blues” (Official Video)

Proving there’s more use to them then Xeroxing fannies, Canadian DJ Kid Koala enlists the power of a photocopier in the music video for “5 Bit Blues”. Koala and company pair the office prankster’s favorite tool with a FUJI instant camera to print out documents/Polaroid snapshots displaying various lyrics and musical parts (“rain” on a sheet of paper, a picture of a sampler, etc.) as they occur in the song. The end result is an interesting dissection of the interplay between the visual and the auditory. It’s also a far better use of printer ink than scans of anyone’s pasty white derrière, no matter the motive or how well it comes out.
