5. Job for a Cowboy “Tarnished Gluttony”
“Tarnished Gluttony” is one of my personal favorites. Director Michael Panduro tackled this, and he’s no stranger to gore and uncomfortable subject matter. “Tarnished” is a Lovecraft-ian twist on the infamous “binding of Isaac” story from the bible. Though in this tale, the god does not intervene. Because I often see comments that ask, and because I don’t think enough people click the “SHOW MORE” button on youtube videos, I’d like to highlight the original comments from the band and director.
Job for a Cowboy vocalist comments: “‘Tarnished Gluttony’ originally runs off the idea of blind faith into our government and monetary system. The director ran with the idea and spliced it with a H.P. Lovecraftian twist. The video streams the fascination of religion and the actions people justify in the name of religion, and this video is a spin on the old biblical tale of Abraham and Isaac, however, set in the world of Lovecraftian mythology. The point is, acting blindly in faith to a Christian deity is just as absurd as worshiping squid like monsters from space who live under the sea.”
Director Michael Panduro comments: “As a commercial director, I’m a complete failure. The band asked for just one thing and I couldn’t deliver. Indeed, this video has no boobs.”
