Remember kids, no matter how hard you try, your band will never be as effortlessly cool as The Thermals. But don’t stop trying, second place is totally up for grabs.

The Thermals‘ clip for Personal Life single “Never Listen to Me”, directed by Lance Bangs, was one of the last films shot on Kodak’s Kodachrome film, which the company is no longer producing or developing. Fittingly, the video has a hazy, idyllic look that’s pleasurable to the eyes. Check it out below, or over at Pitchfork.tv. – More on Pitchfork>
