Stereogum Puppet Show DJ Jona Bechtolt (a.k.a. YACHT, one-half of the Blow) entrusted the directorial direction of his first clip from I Believe In You. Your Magic Is Real. to Matt McCormick, he of the Shins’ balloon-liberating “Australia” vid. In return of Jona’s confidence, McCormick delivers this touching tale of touring copper, as YACHT the penny braves the rough streets of Portland with nary a pocket to call home. Until the cute girl ‘picks him up,’ a happy ending for our one-cent hero.

i so love this YACHT person.
Hey! I love this song…when it was called ‘Miss You’
That’s the best (only) portland promotional video I’ve ever seen.
Caught him last night opening for LCD Soundsystem in Chicago – great performance, though at times seemed like karaoke on drugs.
Anyway – sweet video.
i really like this song (and this cd), but i don’t know…sometimes it sounds so much like hissing fauna, i just want it to be of montreal singing it, because i know it would be better.
nice video, though.
Maybe not as amazing as he is being the other half of Blow, but still freaking amazing!
cute vid, and portland is a great city to live in
awesome video!
Hey! I love this video…when it was called ‘Coffee & TV’
