Huff This! will perform today as part of the Occupy Wall Street benefit concert. This is how I found out about them and this amazing video, directed by Nick Atkins. There is a fine hand-made quality running through it, and its DIY ethic and stunning improvisation result in visually strong and original content. Musician and dancer Alison Clancy told Christopher Weingarten of the Village Voice blog Yes In My Backyard (from where you can also download the track), that the video was made when she and Atkins decided to go to Coney Island with a handful of resources; “[w]e got there just as a huge storm started rolling in and the crowds were making a mass exodus. I loved that all the trash on the beach gave a post-apocalyptic feel. And I love storms, so I was stoked to dance around in the rain and lightning.”

Thank you, I think it is beautiful too - breathtakingly so. But perhaps more than anything else, it is evidence of the fact that gifted people can make brilliant art even with a few means at their disposal.
Because it isn't in the means... ; )
