Crowd-Filmed: Lucius “Strangers” Kinks Cover #liveatlagunitas

“We are not two, we are one…”

When Lucius played the Lagunitas LaguMiniAmphitheaterette there were so many iPhones out that Lagunitas put out a call for people’s footage. The result feels like you’re in the crowd with the band … without any phones in the way!

Ugly Cry: Watch Japanese Assemblyman Lose It


The guy above sounds like the goats who yell like humans (below).

This unhinged man-baby is Japanese assemblyman Ryutaro Nonomura.

And endless, hilarious sobbing and fist-pounding ensued. But is it the best cry ever?
