Deerhoof eyeing My Purple Past video

Directed by Asha Schechter from the album, Offend Maggie.

The album art for Offend Maggie was created by artist Tomoo Gokita. The band met him while playing at the NADA Art Fair in Miami, Florida. They were browsing the works available when they came across his pieces.

One forgets the vast array of devices that we use as music sources. We observe a slideshow of different tools, from a record player to a boombox. There was also coincidence in the environments where the music players were used. The computer hooked to the CRT looked like a dorm room(no money for upgrade) and the simple white Hi-Fi like machine was found in the sterile confines of a kitchen. There was also no mistaking the Apple iPhone/iPod Touch mixed in with the other fruit.
