Hey hey, here's a video that's not so bonnie at all. In fact, this Einar Baldvin-directed clip for Bonnie "Prince" Billy's "Cold & Wet", from this year's excellent The Letting Go, is far more goddamn cynical, sadistic, and depressing than anything featuring cutesy cartoon bears and crocodiles has any right to be. It does, however, teach us how babies are made-- but I still don't get what all that baby-making fuss is about.

As previously reported, "Cold & Wet" arrives in tasty 12" and CD single format on November 14, via Drag City. The CD version comes with this video, so you can take it home with you and watch it over and over and share it with mom, dad, kid sister-- the whole family. Just in time for Thanksgiving!

As an added bonus-- and a reminder of the sincere man behind the music-- check out ace photographer Mike White's shots of Bonnie "Prince" Billy performing at Chicago's Portage Park Theater on October 16.
