...sure the retaliation is so bad that [the Radcliffe team] never tries to pull a prank on us again,” Phillips says. Phillips may resort to a plan which entails skinning 10 goats, hanging them from the rafters of the Weld boathouse, lighting the room with a disco-ball, and playing the theme from “Silence of the Lambs.” At least there won’t be a fish smell...

I guess the major problem here isn’t simply that these videos are subpar in their own right, but that they really fail to do justice to a generation-defining album. Moreover, they seem to take it one step further, adhering...
