Take Off Your Sunglasses- Ezra Furman & the Harpoons

Ezra Furman and the Harpoons have been around for a few years and have released two albums. I didn't know about Ezra until I stumbled across his wacky Take Off Your Sunglasses video on YouTube. He dresses like Phil Spector's long lost son and sings like Gordon Gano, the frontman for the much loved post punk band, the Violent Femmes.

Sunglasses is one of those wise-ass indie pop anthems that screams out to be played over and over again, until your friends & family are wondering which straight jacket size is the best fit for you. Take note of the ever changing frame color of Ezra's sunglasses in the video...hmmmm.... do you think there's a hidden message?

Very cool. Never heard of that band but that song is pretty sweet, and the video. Definitely will be checking them out. The whole video/song seemed very Dylan-esque to me.
