C'mon, you didn't really think you'd make it through Thursday without a Flobots' (still numero uno at Twist & Shout and currently holding down the third slot on Billboard's Modern Rock chart, BTW) update, now, did you?

C'mon, you didn't really think you'd make it through Thursday without a Flobots' (still numero uno at Twist & Shout and currently holding down the third slot on Billboard's Modern Rock chart, BTW) update, now, did you? On Tuesday, May 20, the outfit's label, Universal Republic, is slated to unleash Fight With Tools upon the masses. To commemorate the occasion, the new Dirty UK-directed video for "Handlebars" will make its worldwide debut. Don't want to wait that long to get a peek? Don't worry. Click here to check it out. Those outside of Denver hoping to catch a glimpse of Jonny 5 and the crew will have to look elsewhere, though, as the entire clip is animated -- not to mention a little too glacially paced (at least at the beginning; it picks up toward the end) and literal for our tastes.
