Ahh, Kayne West, you super appropriator you. Kanye's new alternate version video for "Can't Tell Me Nothing" stars bearded, pudgy comedian Zach Galifianakis in the exact, Zach-lip-synch's-the-words way Fiona Apple used Zach in her, "Not About Love" video from 2006.
Maybe even weirder than Kanye directly aping someone
else's idea (what's strange about that?) is the inclusion of filthy-minded appalachian indie-rocker Will Oldham in the video.
Sadly, this seems like Kanye's pathetic hipster bid to appeal to the all-things-loving-indie Stereogum set. Watch for it on that site, Brooklyn Vegan and Pitchfork in reverent tones in about 5 minutes.

Dude Zack is fucking amazing! I can't stop rolling the vid it's on constant repeat rofl! Your going in my reader for this.
I appreciate the reader comment. I hope I don't disappoint, we don't aim to be a music blog, but there's always something tangentially related. I guess one could call music videos cinema... if they were drunk...
