When I originally showed my ideas for Eaguru Guru to the rest of the band, I was not sure at all that anyone would have any interest in playing it. Too many notes! Satomi's lyrics really made it so much better, expanded the mood, made it a comment on something rather than a stance. It's proven to be pretty tricky to pull off live, though! Huge thanks to Ben and Amber for making the video!! jd The rhythm for this song was very tricky for me when i learned it. John always brings interesting rhythmic song I have never could think of! I felt the music had dark sounds that instantly reminded me of my concerns for the america! Let me concern.... satomi Amber Smith and Ben Parrish's video for "Eaguru Guru," from Deerhoof's 2008 album Offend Maggie, has clips of food coloring being poured into whipping cream, a magic garden, eggs filled with glitter, amber running in a circle while hugging a dog, marshmallows burning, a couch on their porch, and their cat, Kimmswick, meowing along to the song. It is their first video collaboration. Amber Smith is a filmmaker living in Portland, Oregon. She studied film at The Evergreen State College. Her current work focuses on duration, endurance, confession, and the boundaries of personal relationships. Ben Parrish also lives in Portland, Oregon, and spends his time drawing comics and barbecuing.

Eben Portnoy and Sara Magenheimer shot "Family of Others" through a beautiful old compound microscope at the Cape Cod Coastal Laboratories in Truro, Massachusetts. Culled from local water samples, the cast of non-actors (microscopic plankton, crustaceans, and fly larvae) perform miniature domestic dramas in lush and grainy digital vignettes. Under the peeping eye of the lens, small mundane encounters and daily movements escalate into a choreographed dance extravaganza of Busby Berklee-esque proportions.

At last here is our version of "Fresh Born". It was shot and directed in Japan by our friend Mitch (who costars here as the TV announcer) and also features a brief appearance by Japanese rappers 54-71 miming to "Basket Ball Get Your Groove Back". Lastly there is a baseball bat-wielding gorilla contributed by "Milk Man" artist Ken Kagami. The video was edited by Mitch and me. Offend Maggie is in stores October 7th... - Greg
