Video: Fujiya & Miyagi: "Ankle Injuries"

Ah, literalism. Fujiya & Miyagi's David Best sings, "Like pixilated scraps of jazz mags in your headlights," and voilà: this Michel Gondry-indebted video directed by Wade Shotter of the London-based Factory Films. The images in the video are pixilated (they are composed of dice, after all), but they're less pornographic (SFW) than the rest of the lyric. Other than Pin Art-style close-ups of Best and the rest of the band, they consist mostly of action shots of dice people skateboarding, playing soccer, doing gymnastics, and-- true to the image project by the band's tracksuits-- running.
