Premiere: The Walkmen "While I Shovel The Snow"

It's been a dream of mine to work with one of my favorite contemporary bands The Walkmen. It was an absolute pleasure directing this video for them and having the support of the coolest twins in the music business Jonathan and Justin Eshak of Mick Management. Creatively we wanted to make something in the style of a Test Shot but still be a music video. My biggest inspiration were those classic New York City souvenir postcards. The song has a lot of emotion in it and I wanted to capture that visually.

We've had one of the harshest Winters in recent memory in NYC so it was serendipitous that we were able to shoot this particular song in the snow. Here's a subtle and simple love letter to my city and one of the great bands of our generation. Special thanks to Kerri Kleiner, Kevin Hayden, and David Feinberg. I hope you all enjoy...

Stunning work, Jake! You've outdone yourself :)

Lovely homage to the timeless and immutable beauty of NYC. I agree that this is one of your best. It's the wrong end of a long winter. Rekindling the romance of snow on the cusp of March is no mean feat.

My doctor wants me to wear MBT for my spine. I wear MBT and Mephisto on alternating days. Got this for a warm weather alternative. I need to wear socks with them, or I blister. Very good for my back, less ugly than most MBT shoes.

We all reside all through the past. We hold a moment in time to know someone, just one hour to like someone, as well as just one day time to adore someone, however the complete existence to neglect someone.

During the last week at work, I was painfully looking at the storms that had been consistently firing off for the last 8 days in the central ranges and plains of NSW.Its seems an eternity since NSW has welcomed lingering trough that had both good moisture and excellent windshear to accompany, and, well with my holidays starting in only a few days, I was fearing that I was going to miss this event.
