Music - New Strokes Video - "You Only Live Once"

The vid is composed "entirely of CGI ... [paying] homage to Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey as well as the NASA spacecrafts of the 1970's." After a cool use of the abrupt outro cut from Impressions track "Ize Of The World," Fu's film unfolds, giving a futuristic spin on possibly the best Strokes song to date.
This is an alternate video/short film of "You Only Live Once", directed by a Lucasfilm art director, Warren Fu. The original video for this song was directed by Samuel Bayer, who had previously helmed the "Heart In A Cage" video, and features the band performing the song in an enclosed room while tar pours from the walls and fills the room. Enjoy this alternate version, it's quite sexy.
