I love this band, their album, the sound... it sounds familiar and fresh all at the same time. The "There Things" video, on the other hand, is all the things I have hated about the music biz since about MTV year 2: Too corporate... overproduced... stale... has nothing to do with what makes them a winning act. Mini-movie music videos occasionally help a mediocre song get attention. This is not a mediocre song and this filmette just distracts and distresses those who care about the band.
I didn't know She Wants Revenge shot another video for "These Things".... It's a completely different scenario/mood than the first one (w/ the popsicles) but wow! Shirley Manson's in it!
