Thursday, April 30th, 2009April 30 (Bloomberg) — Nine months ago, The New Yorker lampooned the political frenzy over Michelle Obama by portraying her as a camouflage-clad, fist-bumping radical.

This is the music video for "Amber Gris", the first single off of Medeski Martin & Wood's newest release, Radiolarians II. Billy directed it and sent this note along: "Last summer I bought an old Russian 16mm windup camera (K-3 model). I exposed about an hour+ of film during the Medeski Martin & Wood Radiolarians tours (2008). I also set up some lights and filmed John, Chris and mice-elf performing Amber Gris from our recently released Radiolarians II. This includes my neighbor Aaron (age 87) in his home - who seems to be enjoying our music. " Beyond dope.
