Video of the Month #6: Port O'Brien - I Woke Up Today [dir. Blake Behnam]

Ace Oakland, California band Port O'Brien have an equally ace song knocking about called 'I Woke Up Today'. Taken from their particularly ace debut album All We Could Do Was Sing, one can only hope it's going to get an official release on these shores. That would be ace.

The sing-along magic of the song is given celluloid form with a splendidly joyful video, involving some of the best 'act like you're in a boat, even though it's clearly just a cardboard model' acting likely to be committed to film. Along similar, ludicrously happy, lines as 'Shiny Happy People', some may think it's a little saccharine for the song, but having had the pleasure of seeing them support Bon Iver at St Giles Church I can vouch that the band do indeed enjoy themselves that much.

All together now: "Whoahohohohoh..."
