Clap Your Hands Eat Cake. It's not a hip new band from Brooklyn, just an apt description of this Low video. Mimi Parker and Matt Livingston take care of the hand clapping while frontman Alan Sparhawk decides to ignore the piece that's already been cut and just plow his way through the entire chocolate cake. The fact that Sparhawk is wearing some sort of military jacket may indicate there's a deeper meaning to this one-shot clip. Perhaps something about gluttony or the distribution of wealth? Personally, I like to think it's an anti-video, kind of like "Bastards Of Young" from fellow Minnesotans The Replacements. --> watch "Breaker"
