Incredible New Charlotte Gainsbourg/ Beck Video: "Heaven Can Wait"

Stop pretending to do work and watch the video for the Charlotte Gainsbourg/Beck duet "Heaven Can Wait" right this minute. (Please.)

It's a Dada brainfuck directed by Keith Schofield that features a dinosaur in a wig (in a bathtub), a giant rat getting held up at knife point, a dude in a SpongeBob costume getting tackled by the fuzz, an astronaut with pancakes for a head, a guy racing a flying axe, a dude chilling on the street with a giant walnut, and one more guy with half a beard.

Charlotte's Beck-produced LP, IRM, is out on January 26 via Because/Elektra. The video is below and you're very welcome! (Via Spinner.)
