The Beautiful and the Rare

Trailer for a video cataloging the making of The Cyclops and the Wildebeest  by absurd rock band Rude Mechanicals. The troupe discuss the album's recording (with legendary producer Erreth Sondabeng), their vast success in the underground (which means relative anonymity) and harrowing details of their sex lives in confidence with Elle Revel, who naturally has spilled the beans and presented it all in a kitsch and intimidating form to you, the viewer.
