Today, Guided By Voices have shared the video for "My Valuable Hunting Knife" exclusively with Funny or Die. With this video, comes the announcement of the 25th anniversary vinyl edition of Alien Lanes out later this summer. The videos was directed & edited by Mike Postalakis and features comedians, Justin Abarca, Nate Corddry, Rob Corddry, John Forest, Rich Fulcher, Brian Huskey, Seth Morris, and Jessica Renee Russell.
Mike Postalakis has previously directed videos for Guided By Voices songs “Planet Score” and “Bad Love Is Easy To Do” as well as Ricked Wicky’s “Poor Substitute,” The director details this new work: "When I saw the announcement of the Alien Lanes reissue, I knew I wanted to create a video to celebrate the anniversary of such an iconic rock album. There was one snag in the plan: Everybody was stuck at home. So I asked the band to film themselves rocking out around the house. What they each sent back more than exceeded my expectations. My main hope is that this video provides a two minute divertissement from the news. Heck, maybe watch it twice.”
