Periphery - Scarlet

Of course I am going to chat a bit about this!  This has to be one of Periphery's most interesting music videos to date.  With the original concept of it being in space, it really's hard to take the music video seriously though with the introduction of a mustard bottle space ship, and with the ketchup/mustard filled eating session/fight that ensues.



Drummer Matt Halpern seems to be the odd man out here; captive POW of the mustard crew.  The tables turn towards the end of the video with Halpern's ketchup ship consuming the mustard ship.  OK, I don't think I can break this down anymore this morning.  There really is a serious/non-serious vibe to the video.  Something I would likely see on a South Park episode or something where taking a joking scene and spinning it with all seriousness involved. haha

Anyways the video dropped yesterday so it's still fresh, unlike the burgers and dogs by now.  Is Periphery on the verge of a deal with French's or Heinz?  Is it going to be out of this world?  OK, dry humour over...
