Rogue Wave fans and supporters,First off, I can't believe Mr. Odenkirk is complaining so publicly about his frustration about the so-called video he "directed." Let me give you some facts perhaps you don't know. For starters, we only agreed to "Discuss" ideas for the video but he showed up with this "Demo" video that looked like it was made that morning on the way to our studio. He could not have misunderstood the lyrics any worse, and I don't know where he found those cardboard cut-outs of the band. He didn't even have enough -- there are five of us! And I guess I don't resemble my cut-out very much because Odenkirk clearly mistook me for a production assistant when he asked me to get him a cup of coffee (actually, he just sort of barked "double cap, tepid, and unload the trucks!"). When I told him that I was in Rogue Wave, he just mumbled "What's that?" without looking up from his cell phone. Later he freaked out and wouldn't talk to anyone because one of the amps wasn't working. Finally I was able to explain to him that the sound didn't matter because we were basically lip synching to the album track and he just sort of stared into space with a half-grin, stroking his chin, and said, "So, "that's" how they do it...." All in all, the whole day felt like Mr. Odenkirk was more concerned with his green screen suit and karate stunt double than he was with the band's performance.I am not trying to harp on Mr. Odenkirk's methods of directing, even if it did throw me off a little when he showed up to the set talking in robot voice and wearing a hand-made costume of cardboard and tin foil. I was sure he either he came straight from Burning Man or thought he was going to audition for a part in Transformers 2. But all that aside, the band feels terrible that so much uproar has come about from this. We just want to just put it behind us and move on. To our fans, I would like to apologize again for all of the confusion. And Bob, believe me when I say that there are no hard feelings on our side. Zach Rogue

Oct 10, 2008 - Ok i'll be totally honest - this version of the video is a bit boring but sadly it is better than Bob's. The cardboard cutout idea was cool but his video sucked. It looked like something somebody in the 5th grade would have shot and it was all about him - he shouldn't have even been in it.And where's my double cap dammit?I love Rogue Wave - sorry I missed you guys at Coachella - you were on too early :(

Oct 10, 2008 - come on. this has to be a joke. the director tells them its a mistake to release your lyrics? what? also the "im in green so you won't see me" in closing...."if we are alone who is the other guy?".... director dead serious "thats the karate kid"

Oct 10, 2008 - You guys realize that all of this jazz is exactly Odenkirk's style of humor. You all have totally been duped.

Oct 10, 2008 - This song is SO much better without all the editing. I know there's nothing they can do about it, they can't put a 5 and a half minute song out on the radio, but this is crap compared to the full version. Still a great song though.

Oct 10, 2008 - Great band but bloody boring video
CaigeAndPhill Says:
Oct 10, 2008 - Haha, Bob Odenkirk is the man, his version of the video is way better. It is just his sense of humor, if you ever watch Tom Goes to the Mayor or Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job, where Mr.Odenkirk is the executive producer you will see his wierd sense of humor show through. All in all, Great Band, Great Song....but a boring video.

Oct 10, 2008 - Despite all the crap with Mr. O, you guys sound great and I love the song.

Oct 10, 2008 - Makes more sense as "No one comes to Reseda." I live in Chicago and can't come out to see them because they keep selling out their concerts - early June in Millenium and now next week at Schuba's. It's like the classic Yogi Berra line about the popular night club "nobody goes there any more because it's too crowded." Time to start playing larger venues. The only reason no one comes out to see them is because the house is full. Seriously, keep turning out music like this, and it's stadium time.
