12.02.2011: COASTING GOES TO SPACE, AND IT’S, LIKE, TOTALLY AWESOME

While Coasting is comprised of Fiona Campbell and Madison Farmer, currently residing in Portland, Oregon and Memphis, Tennessee, respectively, this hilarious and amazing video is from LA native and current resident, Sarah Manuwal. Fresh out of CalArts’ Experimental Animation graduate program, Manuwal utilized the video for Portland, a song very much about place, with lyrics like “Won’t you stay” and “Where should we go,” to create the poster-universe for my generation.

In the video, Campbell and Farmer, as their clay-mationed counterparts, are just chillin in a bedroom pretty much perfect for a fashionable lady raver gnome (I WILL make this a meme!), drinkin beer and listenin to records. They put on their record and are instantly transported to probably the best performance of their lives on a sparkly crystal planet with pizza back up singers that put the California Raisins to shame with their frosted lip glamour. They leave Earth on their matching (duh, BFFs always match) skateboards to travel through space, where hot dogs and cheezburgers can be has’d as they rain down like comets …and Laura Palmer IS ALIVE, driving around in a sweet red convertible. (Perhaps this is how the red room exists in outer space? Maybe she isn’t truly free?! Oh no.) Anyway, she meets up with Coasting and gives them crowns that match hers! Now they’re all BFFs/beauty queens! Best space adventure ever.
